My Ancestral Poem

I am a proud Samoan with no shame to hide sometimes I lie but nothing will take away my Samoan pride.

I am a male,

boy not a girl,

a loud 12 year old pearl.

A proud Samoan who loves fire dancing, throwing fire in the air, trying to bare the heat with sweaty hair.

A Samoan who likes slap dances, hearing my ancestors doing their chants and fighting for me in battle.

My ancestors live in me,

their past decisions have shaped who I am today and if it weren't for them my days will feel like rain.

I will take my ancestors with me,

They may not be with me physically but they will be with me in spirit just like the wind.

I see myself inside an arena fighting for the championship title against John Cena.

I will rise in the future with my ancestors cheering for me and crying tears of joy.

I will succeed with the comfort and love of my ancestors.
