mAsk poem

We wear masks to hide our lies.

It hides our real feelings that we don't show.

All we can do is give a smile and make everyone think everything is great.

But when your alone you let all those feelings go.

All you can say to your self is "everything is gong to be OK."

"Am here for, " you is what a friend tells you when they see you cry.

Tears are what i felt as they rolled down my face .

Do we all wear the mask "only  in front of friends ,family and everyone.

All that I wish is to be myself!!!!!!!!!!!!

....SoLo pOrQuE SoY MeXIcAn,LaTiNa,Y MicHoAcAn!!!!

Just  because I'm Mexican,

Doesn't mean I'm going to drop out of high school!!!

It also doesn't mean I'm going to get F's on my report card.

And it doesn't mean am going to be fighting in the streets

Just because am Michoacana,Just

Doesn't mean I'm going to be drinking patron,buchana's and hennesy's!!!

It also doesn't mean I'm going to do pill's or weed.

And it also doesn't mean am going to kill my own people.

Just because I'm Latina, 
Doesn't mean I'm an illegal person in the USA
It also doesn't mean am poor and cant afford what other people can!!!
And just I'm Mexican,Latina.and Mexicana doesn't mean am not going to be successful in life 
What would life be without Mexican's
What is the diffrence between rich and poor ?
Why does anyone care!!!

 '' Ay mija '' is what I would hear when I got in trouble and my uncle knew!!!
Corona is what I would see every time he drank.
Cologne is what I would smell as he walked out the house !!!
All I would hear is his voice as he sang.
His CD is what I would hear as it played.
A very valuable memory I have is when we went to LA to record his very first CD    
A suite is what he will always wear when he went to a presentation!!!
" I miss you ," is what I would tell him if eh came back.
All I want is for you to come back!!!
