UNAFRAID

                               Unafraid

 I am a WOMEN.

I wonder about FREEDOM.

I hear HOPE and see LOVE .

  I am STUCK.

I PRETEND that things will get BETTER.

       BUT YET !

I feel like am FALLING in a deep hole into water that I  eventually  will  

                                       DROWN in.

I am UNAFRAID of what that will feel like ,

          I’ve prepared myself and will gladly take that JUMP .

I see ENDFUL GLEEFUL days as I pretend to be Brave.

Unafraid of DEATH because that’s how I will see Abuelita again.

Unafraid because that’s how I can BE FREE once again.

- Guadalupe Ambrosio

I don't celebrate the 4th of July ok don't ask me what my plans are..

I am still developing my patriotic whatever you all have. This day just reminds me how much work I've put into living the American dream yet America still lables me as illegal , alien and a criminal. So yes I like live living here but I have yet to love it Because you celebrate freedom that I have never experienced it.

Dear .Dad

I don't go a day with out being thankful for the father that I have been blessed with . We have both have opinions that usually don't match but I know you always see the side that you think is best for me . You gave up so much for me and still do today and I can honestly because of your hard work and love , You will remain being my hero and my motivation to success and happiness . I admire your strength your courage and the Love for your family . I want to say happy fathers day but I honor you every day. Because with out you I would have been very lost your love for me made me realize how much I should love and value myself and you opened my eyes towards accepting myself. I have a lot of growing to do and one day I will make you proud . Till then just know I am not giving up.I love you so much I don't think I can describe it.
