I am full of colors,
A color of Burmese,
a color of Rohingya,
and a color of Muslim.
But there are other colors still.
A color of wandering mind,
a color of burning heart,
and a color of unruly soul.
I am full of colors,
very vibrant,
very diverse,
very bold indeed.
Some complementary,
some harmonious,
and others
outright contradictory.
I am full of colors.
Like the tapestry of longyi,
and also like the Burmese flag red,
red with the Rohingyan blood.



Beautiful poem! Your metaphor of being all colors is perfect to describe your multiple identities, as they intersect and coexist. Might I suggest reading into Gloria Anzaldua… she talks about this too.
