The American Dream to the "un-American"

Sat, 04/05/2014 - 14:14 -- Artswar

I know I am not alone,

In this struggle to be who we want to be.

As a dreamer,

I dream of the day I won't be classified as different.

Of the day I will be able to drive without fear.

I hope for the day I can see my family without fear.

For the day I will be given a chance to prove myself good.

I pray for the day I can be an American citizen.

For the day I can be "normal" and change my status.

As an undocumented student,

I try my best to be the best I can be

For the country and people that gave me so much.

I know I am not alone,

In this struggle to be the best we can be.
