Los dos lados de mi vida

“Soy de”

Soy de pelo ondulado

De “¿No sé?” Y “¿Por qué?”

Yo soy de un hermoso, cómodo hogar

Limpo, ocupado, chistoso, ruidoso hogar

Soy de agua

A veces tranquila ya veces enojada

Soy de religión católica

Soy de “Domingo de misa” y oraciones

De mami y papi

Soy de padres purépechas

Indígenas orgullosos

Soy de trabajadores

Soy del pasado

Soy del presente

Soy de mis antepasados

Soy de mi sangre

Soy de mis raíces

Soy de mi misma

-Yareli Cano Candelario

I am caring but tired

I wonder if ima be alive in the future

I hear the bombing of hiroshima

I see casa de oro

I want to be happy

I am tired and caring

I pretend that I’m athletic

I feel a cloudy blanket

I touch a rough wall

I worry about the future

I don’t cry

I understand that I’m not perfect

I say things that are not funny

I dream to have peace

I try to do my best

I hope it'll all workout

I am tired I am caring

I am a mexicano

I wonder if I make my parents proud

I hear the screech of an eagle on a cactus

I see the determined crossing the border

I want taquitos dorados

I am a mexicano

I pretend to understand the language

I feel they don't understand me

I touch the pricks of nopales

I worry if they belittle me

I cry because I missed a penalty

I am a mexicano

I understand my culture isn’t perfect

I say that I know a lot

I dream one day I will

I try to learn the most I can

I hope one day I’ll make them proud

I am a mexicano

-Gabriel Albarran-Evans

“I am” Poems

I am caring and understanding

I wonder about my friends mental health

I hear the magical rivers running water

I see an enchanted forest calling to me

I want to see where it takes me
I am caring and understanding

I pretend I know where to go
I feel the leaves brush against my skin

I touch with the heart of yours

I worry for your health

I cry for you
I am caring and understanding

I understand your needs and wants

I say i’ve been there

I dream of our magical get-away

I try to do as you wish

I hope you see i'm here to help

I am caring and understanding

I am a mexican artist in the works

I wonder how can i say this

I hear the cries of the dolphins in the clouds

I see the world vanish

I want to recreate it
I am a mexican artist in the works

I pretend to write my story
I feel the smooth surface of the paper

I touch my creative part of my brain

I worry you won't see it as i see it

I cry and put in my tears
I am a mexican artist in the works

I understand not everyone will see the meaning

I say use your own imagination

I dream of creating my world

I try to word it as best

I hope i get to show everyone soon

I am a mexican artist in the works

-Gisele Betancourt

I am creative and amorosa
I wonder what it's like in Cuba at its root.
I hear my moms novela on the TV en español
I see a red and blue flag; to both I bid salute
I want to help my mom with chores, when I see her working to the bone.
I am creative and amorosa

I pretend to be in a fairytale
I feel el calor insoportable at a family party
I touch my mom’s freshly painted shiny nail
I worry when I’m invited to the dance floor, to dance so cowardly
I cry when my family doesn’t have enough money
I am creative and amorosa

I understand my family’s hopes.
I say good things come to those who wait.
I dream to help my family through slopes
I try to improve my Spanish and make it straight.
I hope to live in a peaceful world.
I am creative and amorosa

I am learning and finding my voice
I wonder what it feels like to belong
I hear my parents running through Spanish like a race.
I see my family, bonded through love so strong.
I want to be able to hablar español without feeling like a disgrace
I am learning and finding my voice.

I pretend to know both languages fluently.
I feel their words cut me up like a diced cebolla
I touch my mom, giving her abrazos lovingly
I worry my little Spanish will wash away like olas en la playa
I cry that someday I might not understand my family
I am learning and finding my voice.

I understand more Spanish than I can speak
I say that I can grow to become better.
I dream to communicate with my peers, and not sound like I shriek.
I try to listen and learn from others, theirs as delicate and polite as a feather.
I hope to succeed, but it gets harder and harder.
I am learning and finding my voice.
