Be Yourself

By Ronaldo Torres – Rios

 

I hear a BOOM!

It’s just the broom.

PUNCH! My brothers

are fighting.

My Grandma is dying

My auntie is dying

My sister, my brothers,

and my parents are crying

Friends and cousins are

praying

I am who I am

What matters is life

Giving money to homeless people

People saying

“Sharing is caring”

People making fun of others

just because of their skin

color and of how fat and

skinny they are

That needs to stop

you should be yourself

nicer, smarter, and

believe in yourself

You are who you are

I am who I am.
