Lo siento
A los que hice daño
For not being the perfect daughter
For fighting for what I believe in.
For defying you in every way possible.
For ignoring you
And standing my ground.
Lo siento
For being what you never will be.
For being the queen, that all women should be.
Lo siento
For not being Mexican enough
to fit your standards as Hispanic
Yet not being “American “ enough
To qualify as white.
Lo siento
For being considered lower
Than the average Male,
Who said a colored woman
Couldn't be strong
Independent
And above all others!
Lo siento
For defying all odds,
For being better than you,
For proving you wrong and,
For having more balls
Than a man who thinks no means more.
Lo siento
For being a colored woman with the guts to be a leader.
I'm sorry
