Mexican American

I am Mexican American

But somehow, 

I feel that I don't belong to either

My light complexion

My "white" sounding voice

My music choices

My lack of spanish fluency

To others, I am not Mexican

My non-white skin

My slight accent

My embracement of my culture

My dark hair and eyes

To others, I am not white

I am the product of a mixing pot

From two separate worlds

And though that should mean I fit into every category

I've never felt so isolated

[Mel Jayne]

this is a really powerful poem, I really enjoyed it and I think that it touches upon a very important thing that a lot of people are conflicted over. I liked the contrast from one stanza to the next, touching on the same things, explaining why some people feel this way. I especially like the last stanza. I think that you truly have talent.

Maybe you are just you. Maybe they are the ones who don't fit for such. Anomaly we all are
