He is a happy boy,
Open to everything, and anything
He has always been the best,
A great example,
And nothing, nothing has ever gotten in his way,

Until on day he realizes he is,

Alone in the world,
He wakes up,
Scared to go outside,
No Matter how hard he tries it will never work,
Society sees him as less, they see him as an animal,

He tries and tries to change that but he can’t,

He has a dream,
He wants to provide his mom with that house she has dreamed of,
He is determined to give his mom that house,
His whole life he has been dreaming of this,
He will make it come true,

No Matter what, he will,

He works, hard in school,
He has what it takes,
He’s professional in every way,
And nothing will ever change that,
He only has god intentions,

He has avoided everything,

He has self chosen to take the right path in life,
Soon that will change,
Everything he has, will be lost,
The work he has know his whole life,
Will soon be gone,

He will lose everything,

All his hard work,
Down the Drain,
All he has worked for his whole life, gone,
No matter how hard he tries he won’t get it back,
Everyone knows this but no one cares,

He will lose everything,

He has what it takes,
He has the dream,
The hard work and deter,
The grades,

He is only missing one thing,

One little thing,
One thing that is holding him back,
People hate him for it,
His is looked at as a monster, by society for this,

One Thing……Papers.

This is about the struggle we go through as latinos. How we are not excepted, for the reason that not everyone is here legally. Although this is not necessarily true in my case, I have felt these feeling before and I have friends and family that are going through it now. I hope that with this peom we can change the way of thinking that society has, and instead help us out.
