Miedo
Fear of loss
Fear of separation.
Fear of our country.
Fear of my own surroundings.
Tell me, should I have this feeling?
I was born here, but my blood wasn't.
Land of the free? No.
Land of the feared.
My parent's chances of living the dream?
I will fight for them.
My sister's future career?
I will fight for her.
Who knows what will happen next?
Tell me, will they (my parents) be able to see me grow?
What about my younger brother? A future diesel mechanic.
Tell me, will I be able to protect my family?
First US Born
Second Born
Citizen of the US
Now with the fear of losing those who never gave up on me.
