For so long, My proud Mexican mother raised me.
But I have never known my father.
There's this side of me, I don't know.
I don't know where I belong.
The sounds of the drum are calling.
How should I respond?
My identity has been buried, knowing only part of my history and my place in this world.
I live between two worlds, trying to understand how to embody both.
