you make me frustrated in the strangest ways, but I guess that's love? I wouldn't call it that but it's starting to creep down that steep *****. I really wish you'd actually talk to me but you're always holding back. I can't tell if it's from fear of what could be or what is. you make me self conscious and self confident. see how you conflict me? I question nearly everything I do, especially when I'm with you. I control my laughter and bite my tongue, or I guffaw with audacity and speak my mind. I'm caught between two of my selves because I'm caught between which one you like more. both are me, yet neither really seem to be. I'm quite tired of the charade but I will not be the one to quit now. I'll ride it out and regret it years from now.
To be honest
I'm scared
I'm scared of living in a country that looks at me like the criminal.
I'm scared of a government that looks at me like I'm the reason this country is the way it is.
I'm not a drug dealer or a ******
I'm just the son of a Mexican born from a different country that was born in this great soil.
This elections has made people blind and never seeing the big picture
I've always hated politics
But what I hate the most is instead of coming as one we come as individuals not wanting to love and understand because they have different options and beliefs.
In truth I believe that some day will be united not worrying about race but making sure our neighbors have a roof on there head and food to eat
That's my dream but till this hell is extinguished
I'll be here waiting for the day

— The End —
