Go Home and write a letter tonight by Deisi Hernandez


home and write a letter tonight and let that letter come out of you. Then, it will be true.

I wonder what my life would be without the people that care for me.
I'm seventeen years old with a marvelous family by my side.
A good education at Wellstone with teachers that care for me and my good education.
I'm a unique person but treated just the same as everybody else.

I've been through many difficult situations.
I like to eat, to work and have fun
but let me tell you something
I never give up.
I came from a beautiful town in Mexico.
Raised in a very educated family
They all give me what I need,
what I wanted and what I dreamed.
Most importantly they give me life, love, liberty.

Me, like a bird, I flew a lot to come here.
Through gloomy and dark skies
Through  very hard situations
I arrived and I’m still alive.
No friends just strangers

My life is happy
Happy as a beautiful butterfly
Flying far into the sky
This is my beautiful life.
