gathering tears that scream on my cheeks
in a water bottle
to give to you
as a sacrifice
in exchange for all of my dreams
la oscuridad
in my eyez,
I seperate each part of me
raise it to the clouds
hold it up as I am held down
watching rivers and oceans,
sirenas won't drown, but I might
if I forget to breathe
abajo del agua I can't feel
this heartache growing
take this sacrifice
mi corazon can't take this,
please...
Dear Mills College Adminstration,
I know you don't care about me attending, it's just about money but Mills is my home and I've been waiting so long. I'm so close, please don't take this from me. Please don't take this from me. please please please let me go to school here.
Love,
former student of color
