Matter Most
I'm a real Filipino
but something change on me
The unique color of my skin
That every foreign aim
Was getting darker
I'm a real girl
but my body look not
My body got a muscle
In picking heavy things
Just to have money for foods
This changes of my body
Cause of my work
Under the heat of the sun
Just to have strength
Tomorrow to survive
Whatever changes I have
Didn't matter to me
What important now
I can eat everyday
To face the coming day.
