The First


the first time i heard about you it was like a dream

your name sounded so good leaving my mouth

"college"

but despite everyone saying that you love me 

you despise me 

a first generation chicana female 

you love having diversty you mention it every time you visit

you mail me a letter at home

i hope its a love letter 

"dear, _________ 

thank you for interst in _____ univesrty , we have reviewed your application and we regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission for ___ 2019 .... "

despite you telling me you dont love me i still love you.
