I Am ...


I am from confusion and a stressful body

I am from lack of hope and lack of independence

I am afraid of the future but in search of the present 

I am quiet and shy

i see my  mother struggle, that's my hustle 

to be greater 

to succeed

to make my mother proud 

I study hard 

i am strong 

I am sweet 

I am loving 

I am native to my land 

I am and will be the future
