Yamile
As i read this week's prompt i couldn't help but to think about this song by RM of BTS. in this song he says,
“Oh, tell me that dark could never win the light
Oh, tell me that wrong could never win the right
Baby, tell me that we gon' someday stop the fight
And tell me that every, everything gon' be alright
Oh tell me who's stupid, baby, is it me or them?
Just tell me who's insane, baby, is it me or them?
In this crazy world after patience, could we get the pearl?
But this world, which teaches me, preaches me how to curl”
I think this fits well with this week because, to me, this first part is talking about the same Rose is. Am i stupid for wanting things I do not have?
Am I insane for thinking I can be like everyone else? Later in the song he also says,
“I see progress via my daughter's eyes
I think I think too much now and drink too much now
I numb it 'cause I don't wanna cry
Prayin' for better place for you and II see some grass growin' in winter's eyes
I think I think too much now and drink too much now
To numb it 'cause I don't wanna die”
I feel like this is a goal for a lot of us. For my mother, she wanted us to have a better life than she did, that's why she came to the US. i've always have thought that when i have children of my own, they'll have a better life than i did and i can see the same thing is true for my sister and her kids
