A New Start
A new start
New caras
New palabras
No idea how to fit in
The color of my skin es differente
The way I talk brings atencion
The way I dress es raro

I felt like a cat surrounded by dogs
I felt like a black student in a white class during slavery
I leave the class with fear hidden within
Not knowing what to do
I feel frightened full of fear
A new start
