Why did you follow me?

I wonder what you think when you first see me

Do you smile?

Or do you go on without acknowledging me

I wonder if I cross your mind just a bit

Do you judge me?

Can you see my long dark brown wavy hair

or my dark brown skin

Do you look into my eyes

and see that their as dulce como la barra de caramelo

Or that I'm a young Hispanic woman

I wonder if you're insinuating racial slurs

Or maybe you're not

If you had a chance to look into my past

Would you take the offer?

You’ll be surpised of my struggles and see my success

Being in college means

I'm a student

And being Mexicana still means

I'm a human being

Not a criminal
