The Girl From Everywhere

In the places I have lived 

I stick out like a sore thumb.

Everyone knows that I don’t belong 

I’m from somewhere else across the seas

A place called the USA

summers we would go home… 

Culture is a peculiar word. 
Holding such importance

In someone’s person 

Celebrated and encouraged 

Songs

Art

Food

Grandma's Zwieback 

Little pockets of answers

Have you ever considered the money we spend on mascara?

The thoughts we spend on our outside

I don’t want them to see that pimple there

Or I hate my color hair
