Excerpt from "Someday I'll Love Elaine Mei" Poem
Description
This is an excerpt of Elaine Mei's "Someday I'll Love Elaine Mei" poem. The excerpt reads:
"Someday I am afraid I'll love myself
and mistake it for self-love when in truth
I have gone too far
because doesn't it feel good to have a love that's gone too far when
you're used to a love that struggles to go the distance
a 'my love is better than your love' kind of love
an 'American spoke and they chose me' kind of love
because wouldn't it feel good if America chose me
tell me
why do I need to beg
why do I need to get on my knees
for my country to choose me"
