Write Your World

listen to elders, don't follow your passion,

sit orderly fashion, they don't have compassion,

did you say something?

shhhhhhh

Like the Pompa, our dreams can not be contained. We are formless, but our environment does not dictate our futures.

I remember watching television shows when I was younger and the main character would always want to move to New York. I couldn’t understand it.

I sat in my room feeling helpless but the truth was that no matter how powerless I felt, it wouldn't change anything in my community and in the health care system. So I got to work.

Our dreams won’t be tarnished, instead they’ll be illuminated, a world where we all live in harmony, able to trust love and support one another or is that too much to ask for?

The textbooks were whitewashed. When our history was mentioned, it mainly revealed our struggles in society.

Six feet apart for me means miles away from being able to go to school, discover new Pan Asian cuisine, and stand on line for the best tacos de pollos on the block.

Uncle Sam tells us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps when our feet are bare and blistered.
