Latin Citizen
Warfare, Drugs, Exploitation
I am 15
I flee to my savior; the US nation
Met with racism, stereotypes, and oppression
I work through the pain and animosity
Could only be done with my work permit
Waited 5 years for the damn card
I am 23 now with my little apartment
I barely have enough money for food
2 years and now I'm in a good mood
Green card eligible here
I wait 26 months for my approval
Being swallowed up by my depression of being
Alone. Misunderstood. Treated like an outcast.
I get approved with my new card
Another 5 years pass
I have a slightly bigger apartment
Can afford more food
Practiced my English to be a cool dude
Naturalization? What naturalization? I am human, am I not?
Do citizens take the term
Alien
That seriously
I learn about the constitution, the past presidents, policies, you name it
However can't say that I can name my original countries past leaders
My mind is probed for my knowledge
I'm approved now
I'm natural
I can now take the oath at the age of
32
