A nobody


Why am I ashamed of being Mexican ? Is it because being Mexican is making me pay college? That must be so. I need the money to help pay rent. I hate being Mexican. I have to pay to show I've lived in this land my whole life. I have to pay to show I'm ALLOWED to work in this fuckn country. I am however, a dreamer. One day I'll become one of THEM, and be allowed all their benefits. One day. One day. Soon
