We live in a world in which I am now scared of.
We don’t understand the power of our voices and actions and the impact they can make when used for the right thing at the right time.
When is the right time you may ask?
It is now.
Kids are afraid of having a shooting in their schools or are being bullied until the only solution in their mind is to give up.
We live in a world
Where race and sexuality can be an excuse for discrimination.
Where women voices are still being silenced by a men sitting in his office holding in his hand all his vane power and where a snap of his fingers or a few simple words and false accusations can destroy her reputation
I feel an obligation to change the world. My world our world.
But I’m a teenager
So basically that means that I don’t have any idea how the world works. I’m told to be quiet when I have the right words. And my eyes are closed by my parents as the world burns. I’m told that other people would solve the problems while I sit at home.
And I am a women
I see the silence stares when I’m walking in the streets while I hold my friends hands cause I feel scared and weak. We are told that our actions provoke the guys but I didn’t ask for that glance those words and that smile.
I am also Mexican
In school way too often I hear the comments made about my people. Were we are portrayed as un capable race
They place us in a box labeled danger while they torture our little kids and put them in cells.
I am Me
I can’t be silenced just as I can’t understand my purpose in this world.
I’m too deep in the problems that the solutions drown with all the thoughts in my mind.
And my heart aches knowing that I don’t have a clue in what to do.
I feel alone in my sentiment and I’m scared to say this words aloud.
Being a teenager a women and Mexican make me who I am they give strength to remove the hands closing my eyes and watch the world slowly burn while I look for the cure fighting and raising my voice that I now know matters.

Ummm . . . I do not agree on some of the things you say. But you made your voice heard. And that’s a good thing. But what about the unborn babies that are killed in the womb of the mother? You may argue with me but do something first watch the movie, Unplanned then hash it out.
