They told me I would never make it because of the color my skin
they thought they were right
Only because a statistic says “nearly one in five Hispanics still attend high school”
because these so called facts, are meant to terrify me
But I keep moving forward,
because I won’t let these facts define who I am
nor will I let anyone tell me I can’t achieve anything in life,
because the color of my skin limits me.  
but here I stand with my head held high
accomplishing what they said i couldn't
because of the color of my skin
