MALAYA

Malaya
Is my prefix
Is my sir name
To others, it’s my given name

Malaya
Is my identity
At night at the street lights
At work in the lodges

Malaya
Is a mother
Is a daughter like her mother
Is a sister to her daughter

Malaya
Is her only option
Selling her only possession
To determine her destination
