Perspectives
I am done with
Having to shut up.
Having to sit down
When I want to stand up.
I am done with
Prejudices and assumptions
That people make with
No reasons nor facts.
People talking behind my back
Saying I’m too this or too that.
I’m lacking this or I’m lacking that.
I need this or I need that.
This is my life.
But this is not my country.
And my path
Has been bumpy.
Many see me as ignorant
Because I’m an immigrant.
But, I left everything behind
So my future could be redefined
