Sorry

I’am from an island

From merengue and bachata

I’am from the big family

(music, politics, books)

I’am from palm trees

That gives me wind and shadow

I’m from eating dinner on December 24th and being tall as my ancestors

From Wilda and Juan Jose

I’m from the helping others and to respect the elders

I’m from Our Father, who art in heaven and hail Mary, full of grace

I’m from the United States and Dominican Republic

From the going out every weekends, having great friends, most importantly seeing my family everyday to coming to

the United States in search of a better life and more opportunities and starting again from zero.
