2 Eyes 0 Fucks 1 Voice 6 Divided by Two Things

I decided to attend an all women's college

No, I am not gay

No, I am not aggressive

Yes, I am a feminist.

I wonder if I made the right choice to attend this school

I really do miss/need boys, and my somewhat politically incorrect town

I am becoming a stronger woman.

I am not a perfect fit of the women's college sterotype

Sometimes, I think it would be easier to fit in if I was

I'm a Mexican American,

and I'm the product of illegal immigration

At the moment, that means something to society

Unforunatley, I don't speak Spanish

I wish I did

Growing up I had it easy

That does not mean I am basically white

I am Latina.

I am not "basic"

I am not a perfect fit for the hispanic sterotype

Life would be harder if I was

Trump won the election, 

And I was told by my country that I am not valued

As a woman

As a minority

As a person/citizen

I was hoping for something better,

But worse things have happened in the world

We will all be okay with time.

I am a sterotypical democratic voter

Even if I wasn't, it would be no-one's bussiness but mine.

 

My name is Alicia

Everyone says it wrong

I have two eyes through which I try to see the world clearly

Slowly I've started to give zero fucks

I have one voice

I use it.
