Unity


I ditched my Dolls

Worked hard to get Here

Had to Climb some Walls

Some built from Fear

Making Family Proud

I WILL be the First

Have them all Wowed

Try to Avoid the Worst

A female who is Hispanic 

Defying Social Expectations

Labeled as Manic

Judged for my Relations

A female who is Caucasian

I have such “Privledge”

But still no Evasion

From my other Heritage

I still Strive

Proceed to College

Be glad I’m Alive

To grow my Knowledge

One of Thousands

We experienced Pain

But from different Lands

We are all the Same
