I am an American
 

I am the McDonald double Cheese Burger
I am the Starbucks white chocolate Mocha
I am the Strawberry tootsie roll pop

I am the Los Angeles Lakers
I am the New Orleans Saints
I am the New York Yankees

I am the Walmart when I save money
I am the Disneyland when I have fun
I am the Public University when I attain a higher education

I am a dreamer through love and hope
I am a public servant through loyalty and respect
I am a believer through faith and patience

I am the Eagle
I am the Democracy
And I am the resource

I am the land of opportunity
I am the water of freedom
I am the soil of knowledge

You see, I am who I am
I am an American

I like this poem! As much as I hate to say it I feel like an American too. I've been half of my life in the US. I'm starting to hate this country though but we cannot deny that we're Americans. We're just not recognized by the government.

That poem sent shivers down my body.

Did you write it?

Can I have permission to re-post it on my blog? With proper credit, of course.

Re: I am an American
 

Cute poem.

I AM AN IMMY

Although I want to say I love America,

The government does not want me here

They say no social
No Job
No license

They want me out

But Why?

Am I not American enough for you?

I speak good English

And hey, my mom even named me Heather

What more do you want?

Am I not American enough?

*sigh* it's a good poem, but we're not wanted.

Re: I am an American
 

we are not wanted, and for those who want it, good luck. As for me i will follow my dreams wherever they take me; not looking back.

Re: I am an American
 

What do you mean by that? You planning an escape, I'm curious.

Re: I am an American
 

Excatly what it says. Just following my dreams here or elsewhere. Hey can you help me make a song for my school? I already started ,but can u edit it and add some maybe?
song;
plan escape

let it be kwown, this is not a home,
my mentality has changed though.
we do have that chance to be
the almighty dollar can only go so high
who knows in which direction it may go
i'd like to give it a go, i dont like money
as a standard so lets change that.
going confidently for the dreams i imagined
