Life in your hands

My life was in your hands, Ma

You gave it away

Gave away me, my life

In your hands

Now, do you know who I am?

Born Asian, raised American

Geez, Ma.

I sound like a pack of meat.

Is that all you think of me?

I don’t know who I am.

You took away that “family legacy” part of finding identity.

I have identity crises now.

Good job, Ma.

Still love you though

Still don’t know you.

And still you gave me away

My life.

The one that was in your hands.
