An illustration on my interpretation of the poem by Rita Dove

I born as a Mixed American, Born into a Middle class family, Born into what maybe known as the “American Dream”, With both parents and two sisters, I have a lot to fight through. In my time, In my society, Justice, peace, hope, love, None of those things seems achievable, Except maybe in storybooks. When I look at the news or go on the internet, I see people dying, A new high profile court case, A new threat to national security, A new celebrity that is an embarrassment to all.

We go on roller coasters at Six Flags. We go swimming at the pool. Digging each other in sand and washing back and forth on the shore, in the waves at the beach.
