Chicana

Only in my dreams, I am free

Only in my dreams, I am perfect

Only in my dreams, I am wealthy

A girl like me, they assume so much

School dropout

pregnant at 15

A girl that grew up without a father

Raised by a single mother

Influenced by the streets

Still learning who is me

Who am I?

Am I the daughter of a dead beat dad

Am I the daughter of a single mother

Today I am nothing but a number

A statistic, a stereotype

Just another washed up Chicana

Daughter of 6

I am and will succeed

I will beat the system

I am M______ D___
