Hope
Dreams and hopes
I am from where hope is nothing but a word
and everyone knows each other
It sucks being poor
you start to believe you're meant to be poor
you're ugly and stupid.
its terrifying
I am from art because
words are unpredictable
words are too limited
Pictures are more unbderstandable
I want to go to stanford and be an architect
i want to make a sculpture
and be remembered
as one the greats
i am from where my family sticks like gorilla glue
we all live together
same house
except for my sister i miss her
poverty does not show you nothing
but being poor
and others judging
the lifestyle you live
poem by Martin Rodriguez
