Immigrants

- by Yana K, age 16

Immigrants don't get respected. I wonder why, do you?
They're just like normal people.
But why do we get treated differently?

Some say their feelings have been hurt,
and some say it has been physically.
But I say: why? Are we different?

Maybe the difference is color,
or accent that you don't understand.
But aren't we still the same people
in heart and in the brain?

Why can't you respect us?
Why can't you just be nice?

I guess it's because we're immigrants.
Is that why?
