“Uncertain Borders”
The day my court date came, six years ago, was just
that, The ending in the joint, where I served my time.
The new phase of life where my freedom began.
I was a hostage in my own
skin. A ghost; invisible with
no voice.
I was a living sin; not being able to win
With zero cash and no identity
Oh lord is this my destiny!
Undocumented and
underpaid Education was so
hard to obtain Working 2
jobs and afraid
Trying to break the poverty chain
Kicked out of a country I
belonged My boss showed up
ready to fight Asked the judge
if she could adopt As a way for
me to uncross
The border that I crossed
“Ni de aqui Ni de alla”
I never felt I really
belonged. A paper that
changed my life!
Finally obtained freedom and beyond!
My parents planted a
seed For their daughter to
succeed
Obtaining a career was their biggest
dream Becoming a teacher was
extreme
A certification that will set me
free! A life I will live without
uncertainty!
