Being Latina

Location

You will never be

You will never strive

A Garcia Cannot 

A Garcia Will not 

The American Dream 

Is not your Dream

You came to work

I look back and smirk

I came this far

I will be a Star

In the presence of my lord 

I will leave no book unexplored

I will learn I will strive 

I will use my internal drive

I will progress 

Nevertheless 

I am no damsel in distress

I am latina I am proud 

My family is my motivation 

To have an Education

My heritage is my inspiration 

To show the nation

Not all bad comes from migration
