The name Audrey is
A girl's name of British origin.
"Noble strength."
Its roots entrenched
In the dirt of Western history.

A name is supposed to define you, shape you,
Be the linguistic representation of you.
So shaped have I become in a white girl's name;
I have never tried even to know my own.
Never even given a chance.

How can I be Korean American,
Looking in the mirror,
All I can see is an American girl?
The wrong face and distinctly Asian.
Searching for traces of where "Korean" could be,
I find none.

One soul in the wrong body, in the wrong place, in the wrong name.
