MY MA$K

MY MA$K

I wear my mask that grins and lies

I hate I poke I punch and kick

vengence is in my blood running thick

I wear my mask that grins and lies

to keep the truth hidden inside

with torn and bleeding heart I smile 

keeping this truth while tourturing my heart

you see me laughing and smiling 

thats just my mask that hides my life

the truth

the strife

I wear my mask that grins and lies 

the love I get is all a lie

I wish I wasn't ever alive

I want to go hell with the devil and burn down there

whats the point of being alive if all your life is a big lie?

I wear my mask that grins and lies 

my heart is broken,beaten,and harassed

I need the love that every kid wants 

not the lies

the pain that haunts

Where I am from

WHERE I AM FROM

I am from the blood of the Mayans

but i live in Oakland

I am from a loving,caring,and hardworking dad

a mom that makes delicious food like tamales

I am from two older sisters and one small that love me so much

I am from doing my best and achieving my goals

I am from a street that you got to watch out what colors you wear

I am from Jesus and Virgen de Guadalupe

I am from this planet

I am what I set my mind to be

I am me

I MISS YOU

I MISS YOU

hey primo Esteban
when you coming back
to go back to those days that i see a big smile on your face
that laughter of yours that makes me happy
now my days are so lonely without your big hugs
remembering those days that we use to play soccer together
if you come back i promise i would by your side
how i wish i was there to help you and not let you die
you will always be alive in my heart
i miss you so much

Hi, My name is Esmeralda Mendoza, I am 13 years old. I like to be called Esme. I'm in the 8th grade at Urban Promise Academy. I was born in Guatemala in 1997 on the first day of September. But I live in Oakland!! The people in my life that I love so much are my friends an family because they are always there supporting me through thick and thin. During my free time what I like to do is hangout with friends or my family. I love to hear music, dance and also I like to sing even though I'm not good at singing! My favorite colors are red, black, white, purple, hot pink and blue. My favorite sports are soccer, football, and basketball! I also like to dream big and make goals for myself. I also like to watch myself accomplish my goals because I know I can be successful in my future. When  i grow up I want to go to collage and become a successful scientist. I also love my ethnicity witch is Guatemala an I'm proud of it because I consider myself a Mayan. I can speak 3 languages witch are English, Spanish, and Mum!!!! I am thankfull to god of all the things he has given me and to my parents from bringing me to the USA so I can have a better education and future! That is all I have to say for now. BYE : )
