Hannah is America 
Hannah is a song 
Hannah is a cloud 
Hannah is sunny days 
Hannah is a firework 
On my tongue 

Hana is Pakistan 
Hana is caramel 
Melting in my mouth 
Hana is the smell of curry 
Hana is the ocean waves 
Hana is steady 
Hana is home 

Hannah is the well timed smiles 
Hannah is the perfectionism 
Hannah is the politeness 
Soft voice 
Small nods 
The mask she wears out there 

Hana is unrestrained laughter 
Hana is behind the mask 
Hana is the bird 
Soaring past the facade 
Soaring past the people 
Simply being 
Who she wants to be
