Anatonia Garcia Poem
Do good, they say...
Be an outstanding citizen,they say...
Make good grades, they say...
Graduate, they say...
Go to college, they say...
Well, I did my time!
18 years I gave!
For what?
I ask...
To put back?
To not prosper ?
To be in debt?
To be in the dark?
To be put on the system as my parents tried to escape me from?
To see my kids suffer?
To be ashamed of G-A-R-C-I-A?
To be out of my own home?
To not have a dollar to my name?
I tried!
I tried to runaway,
Escape from you,
Dodge in the shadows,
But, you found me!
You slapped me back where you wanted me and not where I belong
I am now your prisoner....

Anatonia Garcia Poem
Running away from my dreams
Afraid of what I have become
Forever scared because I have become nothing
Always in misery, stressed, and depressed
Everything, I have worked for is gone
Laughter, HaHa! A joke
Garcia I have shamed
Awarding I am
Rage has taken me
Crying deeply to save me
I am no longer me
America has ruined that for me

Anatonia Garcia Poem
You are sweeter than honey
As fluffy as cotton
But, can be slow as molasses
Love like diamonds
Touch as delicate as a flower
Mind so inspiring
Talks with the quickness
Anger like the steam of an engine
Hugs so warm to the touch
Kisses as sweet as sugar
Compliments so smooth
Opinionated, yes you are
You are my teddy bear!
