Deeper then skin
There is more to me than being Mexican American
It goes deeper than the color of my skin
It goes way beyond that things that
Things that people would think of when they see me
They would just think “oh look at that Mexican”
“Since she’s Mexican she must like tacos”
They don’t see a different side on me
They base their knowledge of me from my skin tone
Like if that determines me as a person
They sometimes don’t even to bother to get to know me
How they get surprise when they hear my name
Since it’s not what they picture I look like
What people don’t realize that everyone is human
It does not matter of their ethnicity or a different perspective on life
All that does not matter because at the end of the day we are human
