Don’t imprison me within your own ideal
All the while crying out “she must be [...]

I woke up suddenly one night,

I turned around and saw something very strange..
My body was half way through the wall! (?!?)
I immediately pulled it out and sat down to see if I’m okay.
This is strange…

———-
I heard a sound.
I turned to my brother’s bed to see him sleeping.
I was really [...]

I have grandparents
uncles and aunts
from Palestine and Malaysia
and don’t forget North America.
I also have second cousins
from Italy, Russia,
and Turkey
but don’t forget China
and India
If we’re all together
we create a picture
of faces of diffrent
color and race
but that doesn’t matter
cuz we’re unique as a family.
My family is global
and that’s why
we love to travel.
