by Ellie Perez Sanchez
I come from battles and trials
I come from scarcity
I come from a dark past but where
I come from does not affect my present
I might see me as quiet, talented, happy or sometimes serious, but never sad
My family see me as “the outstanding one,” “the one who never gives up” and as the “perfectionist” just because I try my best for something to come out as good as I had planned.
When strangers connect with me for the first time, they say I am a person who everyone would love to have as a friend, but as they become my friends, they say I am a boring and a religious person just because I don’t do or say the things they do or say
But nobody knows me the way God or I know myself, I ain’t no religious, I’m just trying to change society
I ain’t no perfectionist because nobody’s perfect
But I identify myself as strong and happy even if the pain bothers me, intelligent, talkative, and
Perfectly Imperfect.
I am Human
I come from making mistakes too.
