I am more than what society has assigned me to be
Location
Born in the States
But raised with two cultures
I have fought to find the place I belong.
My gender decides if stay at home or work
my ethnicity decides what I'm capable of.
for such a long time I never thought I was more
than what my skin and gender showed
there's no way I was in Ap courses
because my skin says I'm too dumb
I cant be a good writer
because I didn’t speak English first
and there wasn’t even a chance that I could be president of a club
because I'm too emotional and have to many feelings to be able to run one
little by little im proving people wrong
fighting back and proving im worth someone
I'm not growing up to be a maid
Or be stuck at home all day to cook and clean
I want more things in life than this label says I can have
I am capable of greater things
I will accomplish all my dreams
and I will escape my stereotype
I will escape the gender roles
and I will become all the things I'm capable of
I am more than what society has assigned me to be
