This is something I have been meaning to get out of my chest. I admit America is so much better, but it has never been the best.                   

Growing up as an immigrant there’s something I’ll never miss. Those painful experiences of prejudice.                                                             

People give the glance like I am trying  to ask for their acceptance. I AM NOT. I am a proud Filipino immigrant. Freedom and peace is all I want.     

When I came in America I automatically felt as an outsider. I was trapped and kept inside my language barrier. What happen to not having any fear? I thought I was welcome here? 

It just don’t make any sense. Why are they so threatened? Why are they raising so much defense? Even trying to create an immense wall or a fence. 

They see me so different. All because of the illusions they create. Their tense body gestures and judgy eyes are not even the part that makes you want to hate. It’s those feelings they give that makes you want to assimilate!

This is an immigrant’s quest. To struggle in search of belonging. Continuously searching for the common ground. On the land that is so renowned. Where all are “free” and "able" to sleep and sound.

I am your Jack and you’re my Rose And I will tell you how it goes It'll be like playing poker,no one knows. When I see you I blush, I feel so lucky you’re my royal flush. It's not as vivid as it sounds,  With my poker face thats being seen all around This is a dangerous game but it's fun. So much sweat it's like I'm close to the sun. I just wanna hear your noise,  As I feel the window with our moist. I’m against all odds I’m not giving up, we're in the middle of the ocean, The possibilities are broad. Hold me tight and never leave my sight, We will get through this cold hopeless night. No need to panic our love will not sink, but we will fly as we feel the wind from the sky. I'll be the savior and you'll be the survivor, As we wait for the beautiful dawn, My Heart Will Go On.

I’m so drowsy You make me weak I go on an endless dream. It's like an illusion but it's real When I’m with you, It feels like I’m high on Benadryl. A feeling I can never trade,  Like the hot water as I bathe. I am under your magical spell. There's one thing I wanna tell, YOU are the opposite of hell.

You are the one. The dream that is compared to none. like the stars that shine bright in the sky Wih the sparkle in your eyes that I can't deny. The addicting smell of you that is so sweet You are the one that I want to keep. With that soft lips that is so red. You are always stuck in my head. You know  what's right and what's wrong. You have been my inspiration all along. With your heart that is pure and true, I will never stop thinking about you You make me remember what I've forgotten. This feeling that you have begotten. I am falling in love again

You have the sweetest charm that's so rad. With a bewitching taste that makes me glad. This is something people don't usually know. I met you in the middle of my journey to the rainbow. You were wearing green with innocence that's clean. You are the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen. It's been a month since I started believing St. Patty. I found the best cLover. I am very lucky.

Now, let's hold hands as we go to our journey to the pot of gold.

You are the missing piece I have been looking for. 

A piece that is no ordinary. 

 The piece that completes the puzzle of love. 

The only piece that can fill the void in my heart. 

You truly are a Master Piece. 

The one I need, With a power I cant read. It's no science. With your quick glance, As I hold your hands. You are that someone, Who makes me feel like I’m a Super Saiyan.
