Immigrant

The world describes me as an immigrant,

 but I am a girl, mother, daughter, women and sister

Immigrant to those that don't understand that were are all immigrants

Immigrant because I was not born in this country but in mine.

Immigrant because you need to give me a label to make me feel less

Immigrant because you don't understand what is to be an immigrant.

I am an immigrant

Immigrant is having power, knowledge and light.

Power of being bi-lingual because I am an immigrant

but I only speak two languages when you speak one

Immigrant because I understand that I can't speak Spanish

when you are around

So you can't participate in our conversation

I understand,

but you didn't understand that when I didn't know English

I didn't need you to speak louder but slower.

You didn't understand,

that I needed time to adjust not a hearing aid.

I am an immigrant because

knowledge in two culture.

If I was born in your country

you would think it was

amazing for me to have this knowledge,

but since I was brought here you think is a disadvantage.

I am the light  that can show you

what an immigrant looks like

I am the light that can show you the passage to change.

I am light that can show and do greatness,

but you have decided that I am darkness

because I am just an immigrant.
