Heritage is a big part of everyone's lives, My heritage i used to hide like a disguise. I was always ashamed of being Hispanic, having good hair and good skin, I never looked at myself and loved what was within. I was ashamed of my last name that belonged to my father who left, see, that's the Hispanic way causing me so much stress. I look up to my mother who has always been there, She didn't need no man to succeed. I wanted to be like my mom so bad, a true Hispanic queen.
this poem was made about my mother. It reminded me how much my mom means to me and how she always did it on her own not needing anyone to help her.
