Cover Art Photograph & poem "I know I’ll be OK"
|
When I look in the mirror at night
And I see I turned out just fine I know I’ll be OK Perfect in my own way Healing at my own pace I think about those vending machine dinners And orange suits Long drives up to Tehachapi Being patted down And talked down to Still, I got myself together Grew up in some shelters Now, a daughter of a deportee Straight A’s and no B’s When they thought I wouldn’t amount to anything I believed it for a minute Until my parents informed me: I can be whatever I want to be It’s all happening |
