UNAMERICANIZED

So it is written; So it shall be!

Rattle the cage.

Unfasten the Padlock.

Break free from Americanization.

Raised in a Culture.

Assigned a number at birth.

Child of the 60’s.

Clothed in innocence.

Denied my organic nature.

Had to take a foreign one.

Moved through life as an invisible entity.

No matter how I tried,

Tears I cried.

I did not fit in.

Retreated to an internal world.

To find a story to believe in.

Began to make it my own.

This America,

This Education,

Is not of my choosing.

Finished trying to fit in.

Finished with the American Education System.

Today I create a life that suits me.
