Unity
I ditched my Dolls
Worked hard to get Here
Had to Climb some Walls
Some built from Fear
Making Family Proud
I WILL be the First
Have them all Wowed
Try to Avoid the Worst
A female who is Hispanic
Defying Social Expectations
Labeled as Manic
Judged for my Relations
A female who is Caucasian
I have such “Privledge”
But still no Evasion
From my other Heritage
I still Strive
Proceed to College
Be glad I’m Alive
To grow my Knowledge
One of Thousands
We experienced Pain
But from different Lands
We are all the Same

Me
My family

My country
Our world
