Contest: Diamante Poem
Sponsor: Regina Riddle
Placed: 3rd
By : Dulce Santiago
“ I can ”
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when they were ripping my skin and soul
When I was trying to scape, my horrible childhood
When my only friend was the silence
When I was trying to, cope in with the world
Why couldn’t you drag me, and tell me “everything will be okay”
Why couldn’t you give me the spark of joy to my heart that I much needed
I was like a lost child at Walmart , searching for her mom
Why couldn't you just give me what I wanted
Why couldn’t I have a “ good job” or “ a pat in the back”
Why couldn’t you just tell me I could have everything if I worked hard for it
Instead of handing me out “ You cants “
and drowning me with negativity and no hope
Well guess what
“I can dad”
I can triumph without a man on my side and away from the Hispanic stereotype
I can not have a child in my womb
but what I can’t have is your negativity
I can do things, my mom didn’t have the chance to do
I can finally speak for myself
I can , have a job and do what I love to do
I can go to college
but lastly I can make you proud like i’ve been trying to for the past 14 years.
