"Yuli, I was inspired by you and Jan. So I wrote a little something. It's actually pretty long. And I think it's pretty bad but I'll show you anyways. It might be called "Letters" but I'm not sure yet. LOl. Here it goes:
Alone in a crowd that hates me.
For being who I am.
I'm not a patriot
I'm not a camouflage.
An individual is who I am
I'm not a statistic
I'm not just a face
I'm a person
which you cannot erase
Letters are what drive me forward
pushing me to try hard
For I know, if I finish
My baby's future I will guard.
Bodies flying, bullets sounding.
Will I hear my girl again?
People screaming. Am I dreaming?
Will I see my girl again?
I will not forget,
the reason why I'm here.
I will not forget,
why I'm trying year by year
I will not forget,
Whom I love, and hold dear
I will not forget,
that you're my girl even here.
I will not forget,
That I'll be back in a year.
I will not forget,
What you promised me, my dear.
Bodies flying, bullets sounding.
Will I hear my girl again?
People screaming. Am I dreaming?
Will I see my girl again?
Bodies flying, bullets sounding.
Will I hear my girl again?
People screaming. Am I dreaming?
Will I see my girl again?
I will keep, pushing, I will keep, fighting
I will stay, alive. I will not, give up
I will always love you.
Bodies flying, bullets sounding.
I will hear my girl again!
People cheering. Am I dreaming?
I will see my girl again!
I am home. Home again. Yes, I'm home.
Home again."
-My boyfriend's best friend, Raul
