LA MIGRA

Even as a little girl,
I knew things were different
My mom and dad didn't know english.
Hell, I didn't learn till i was in the 4th grade
The discrimationn was know, were weren't your average
our skin is too light, but our accent is so strong
I know where I come from,
and I know where i stand
I may have been born in the states,
but my heart is from a different land
cruzaron la frontera
to give us a better life
with nothing on their backs
but a child and a hope of life
There was nothing for them to give us
they barely had enough
the food on the table was shared between the twelve of us
Waking up and hoping
that this won't be the day
knowing that your risking
risking your life away
"LA MIGRA, LA MIGRA"
Hoping those words won't be spoken
wanting to go home
and see your family grow
is something we all want to know
your kids won't understand
until one day a white man comes up to you and says
"HEY YOU MEXICAN GET OFF MY LAND"
Reality strikes, and familiarity hits
those words are so common
They never miss
They shoot at you like bullets,
Building holes with every hit
Your family is hated
by men and woman who say we created a problem that already exists
Minimum wage
thirteen hour shifts
no option of welfare or insurance
because that social security number doesn't exist
Those bills keep on piling
and the hours keep on dying
everyone knows, 
mexicans never quit
working is what we came to do,
to give a life they never knew
see, my parents didn’t make it past junior high
working since they were young
sewing up blankets, fixing the farm
working their asses off, 
to keep their family up and alive
showing work ethic and happiness
no matter what is in sight
chose to leave everything behind
for the family they want to see grow
with a better life in mind
putting two kids through college, 
and one on the way,
they managed to stay strong
and show the white man they’re here to stay.

Time

Time of desperation
Soul on the run
Family all around
Nowhere to hide
Creaks and corners
Covered with memories
Some you want to forget
Others want to write down
Life is short
We hold on to the rope
Longer the time
The thinner the cord
Breathe while you can
Accept what must
Cry when its right
Yell when it hurts
Neglect the bad
Fix the change
Work on yourself 
Forget the pain

Room

Who knew a room could become so sacred 
Just looking at the floor made me feel emotionally naked 
At 8 in the morning I got that call
"Hey your sister died go tell your ma"
Just the night before as I lay on the ground
My mind half asleep
Her voice creeped down 
I don't wanna go please let me stay
But gods decision let us know he chose the other way
Childhood room filled with her memories, her bed beside mine
Always together they be
Torn down by the agony 
Mom couldn't stand it 
Made me take it down, she chose not to have it
I had no say 
Her thoughts her writing 
18 years crammed into a shoe box
The notes that'd said "I love you little seester okay?
2 years gone by
I still remember your casket 
Family on each side 
Dropping the flowers as we cried
Mom has her days 
Dad tries to hide it
Oscar shyes away
Ale never knows what to say
I wish I would of known 
That night would be our last 
But now I sit here reminiscing our past
Sitting in your room
Looking at your hat 
When no words would come out
I feel your ghost pass
Flip the switch see your shimmering lights
So bright and special they'd light up the night
You left those there
To remind us all
Of the soul you have
And the love you saw 
When things would go wrong 
And I didn't know where to turn 
I'd run down those stairs 
Looking for you
I'm emotionally broken
Can't you see it's you I yearn?
A room so empty 
Filled with her memories
When I found no comfort 
I'd go down and see
You left what you had
Left it all for me
Because even though you didn't know
You knew it was what I'd need
