Be yourself be an Immigrant

December 19, 2017

Just because I’m Dominican

Doesn’t means I don’t know how to speak English

Doesn’t mean I don’t understand what they are saying about me,

And it doesn’t mean I don’t like the American music or culture.

Just because i'm a girl

Doesn’t mean I don’t play sport and that I don’t know what’s football

Doesn’t mean all I talk is about boys

And it doesn’t mean that I don’t like video games .

Just because I like to play sports

Doesn’t mean am trying to at like a boy

I just like to have fun.

I still do shopping and wear girls

Why do people say that all Dominican eat is mangu?

Why do people say that Latinos came to America to steal their job?

Just because

Am not like everyone else

Doesn’t mean i'm a loser

I’m unique and this is who I’m

If you don’t like it walk away .

Just be yourself

And just because your from a different country

Doesn’t mean you a horrible person

You just have to walk way from all the rumors and bad thing people say and they

go away

Be who u are an immigrant and be proud of it .

I’m Dominican and I do not consider myself an American

I’m an immigrant who needs to have the same respect as everyone who was born here.

We are who we are and we can’t change because orders don’t like it

Be yourself be an immigrant
