In Between Hmong and America

I am Hmong
I am American
I am a Womxn
and so much more.

I fall prey to Hmong and American cultures —

their ideas of what is right and wrong.

Too often
are both societies molding me

to be who they think I should be.

They willfully neglect the fact:

I just want to freely be me.
