My Story

I am not ashamed of who I am and what I have become 
There is a reason why things happen, right or wrong. 
I worked as a migrant while I was growing up 
People treated me like the bottom, not the top.  

There's always been biases and partialities
And I began to experience it personally. 
I could not hang out with some of my friends 
Because of my social status and the color of my skin.  

I attended school in a different neighborhood
Because I was different and misunderstood
I spoke a different language and punished for that
As if I had committed a crime and labeled as bad.

No matter the struggles I had to endure
I  keep striving daily to be more secure.
These trials and hardships made me strong
And at the end of it all, I know where I belong.  

Despite all the hate, bigotry, and animosity
Thank God for the good people and my family
For the words of encouragement and good advise
I treasure my experiences and I love my life.
