American Raised, Liberian Born

American raised, Liberian born,

A fusion of cultures, beautifully adorned,

In the heart of two worlds, I find my place,

A diversity of identities, woven with grace.

From the shores of Liberia, my ancestral land,

Where the roots of my heritage firmly stand,

A land of resilience, where history runs deep,

I carry its spirit, in every step I keep.

The rhythm of drums, echoes in my soul,

The warmth of community, making me whole,

Liberia’s strength, a flame that burns bright,

Guiding me forward, with unwavering light.

But in America’s embrace, I’ve come to grow,

A land of opportunity, where dreams can flow,

From the melting pot of cultures, I derive,

A sense of belonging, where passions thrive.

American raised, Liberian born,

A bridge between worlds, not torn,

I navigate the spaces, where cultures blend,

Embracing the diversity, as a cherished friend.

In the clash of languages, a symphony is found,

Seereece and Liberian dialects, harmoniously bound,

I speak with pride, the words of both lands,

A testament to the ties, that forever withstand.

American raised, Liberian born,

A story of heritage, beautifully adorned,

I carry the strength of Liberia’s past,

Blending it with America’s dreams, steadfast.

In this fusion of identities, I find my voice,

A celebration of heritage, a reason to rejoice,

For I am a product of two worlds, intertwined,

American raised, Liberian born, forever defined.
