Japanese Internment Camps

I am Japanese American

I now live behind these barbed wires

Everyday I wake up to see the same people

Guards blocking the exits

Wondering if I will live through another day

Everyday I get more lonely

I always pray for me and mama and papa

At mealtime we get to eat the same exact stuff everytime

I never drink the powdered milk that all the kids got at mealtimes

I don't really like it that much

So, I just wait, and wait.
