Dear immigrants....


Dear immigrants .... 

Immigrants ? What exactly is an immigrant

Is it someone invading territory to find new ways of opportunities 

Or is it a handful of people trying to commit crimes that they can’t even handle themselves 

Such a mystery that their will never be an explicit answer 

Maybe every individual brings there own quality of talent to provide to their hopes & dreams that they wish became reality  

Or Maybe they bring broken dreams and sorrow hope seeking revenge as a answer to find relief 

Immigrants? What exactly is an immigrant 

Is it a non citizen wishing they could provide more for their kids then just beans and rice every day 

Or is it a living piece of shit that only brings its hatred to the land that it’s expectation is the “American dream” 

Maybe it’s the energetic feeling you get when your child completes college and you sigh in relief that your footsteps weren’t followed because you had no choice to drop out at the age 14 

Maybe it’s the rage of jealousy you feel towards your child that you are willingly ready to amputate each part of their body to feel that you aren’t worthless because they had the opportunity to study 

Immigrants ? What exactly is an immigrant

Such a mystery that their will never be an explicit answer 

                                  Sincerely , 

                              Girl in search for answer
