.................................
they tell me
.................................
are you, hesitation, filipina?
coz you don't look like
japanese, bietnamese,
mostly chinese
your skin is white
you're hap hap?
nothing in the blood?
you don't speak the language?
just a little? what?
you need stronger tick-tock T's
you're beautiful
for a filipina
you're not dark like others
lucky you
put lipstick
