I am an American citizen.

I am catholic.

I am the oldest daughter of three.

I am a shattered social status.

I cannot define my island,

How can I define me?

I am torn between the land I love,

And the land I was taught to love.

I am always torn between

A land that will always be different

And a land that will always be my patria.

I am Puerto Rican.

I am sentences in English,

Thoughts in Spanish,

I am the back and forth

Of two worlds.

I am café con leche

Or expressos,

Azucar negra or splenda,

Boricua and American,

The product of two cultures,

That meet in the Caribbean.

I cannot define me.
