Quotes
I can barely remember the day my mother and I were airlifted out of Vietnam.
But I am not a war refugee, I am an American.
Sometimes it feels like I'm still stuck in the wreckage of the crash.
I never know if my memories are real or just something I imagined.
I can still hear the whispers of the soldiers, smell the smoke, feel the pain.
I wish I could forget the things I've seen.
I don't want to be defined by the scars of war.
Music is my escape from the memories that haunt me.
Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
In the midst of darkness, I find fragments of light to hold onto.
