Albanian Pride
Red and black runs in my veins
Everyone fears that it does
Because of you I am me
And because of you I am Albanian
Albanian is what I am
It keeps me going
And because of you
A piece of me is apart you
I am willing to die
To see you fly
The two headed eagle is in my heart
The shqiponja is what I see
And for you ill keep my head up high
And for you I will die I’m proud to be Albanian
Reflection 1
I chose to write about this because this is apart me who I am. And I love the fact that I am Albanian it means a lot to me. It mean a lot because of the traditions that have been passed down to my parents to me. But also it means a lot to me because of my cultural had to do to be who we are now. We want people to think two ways about who Albanians are. We want them to know we are kind and hardworking. We are kind and respectful to the people that want to get to know and to show them that we aren’t just a bunch of fighters and not respectable people. But on the other hand we show fear because of what we are willing to do for our flag and country. The fact the people know how much the flag and country mean to us, think we are crazy and ridicules but in the end we are just people who’s flag and country means a lot to them just like there families do. When the reader reads this I want them to know that we will do anything for our flag. We will die and defend it to anyone who puts it in harm. But also I want them to know how much it means to us. The fact that we are willing to put our life on the line for our country is a lot and I want them to take that in. I think this poem defines me as a poet because if I was a poet all I would do is write about my cultural, my country, and my flag because they mean a lot to me. I want the traditions from the past to be pasted down to me and I my family because I don’t want them to stop at me I want my kids to know how much they mean to me. I personally like the poem because it means a lot to me and that it’s
