About the Poem
I came to America from Poland about 5 years ago I thought everything will be ok That no one would be racist. But I was wrong. Until this day people judge me because of my race. Even my school treats me differently, even though I'm above average they think of me as below normal. I wrote this to show how I feel about this .

| I walk down the street I look left and right I hoping people will like I hope they don't mind I'm not from around here I came from far away I'm a stranger among them I hope that's ok I walk in fear I look in confusion I feel a tear in my eye They look at me differently But I heard they're so nice The life here's so easy It'll all be all right They give me a look Some start to laugh What's going on? When I ask them why, They tell me to do the "math" I don't know their language, I don't know their ways, I'm scared and petrified in my childish ways So my face is different color my language not the one you speak - Because of that, am I really bad? I always thought I was unique It's been awhile now. I got used to the taunting. I stopped caring Stopped hoping they'll find me to their liking |

Hello Angel Thanks for the poem, it is more than great, I really like it. I hope you continue working so hard. I do like all of your poems, they are verry beautifull and powerfull. I am also writing some poems but I am from Bulgaria and I can't speak English that fluently. I am able to understand your poems which makes me happy. I am differnt, I am not from here, I am from the other end of the world, everything and everybody is new for me, if someone had thought me a joke I don't understand it, I have my own strange sense of humor, so nobody understands me. The poem best describes me, I have nothing more to say than thanks!
