I decided not to lament
over my homeland, the trees
of my youth, I don't want photos
I decided not to be angry
with my father, his rules
and the proud family who is silent
I decided to live yellow
Sun in my house, on the walls
my belly and my bare feet
I decided to dance
to be my own story
for my own eyes and ears
