In the middle of a field I sit
Gazing out at the nature in front of me
A picture of the rural states

I sit and think

My skin white
My family well-to-do
My life normal

No worries in the world
College to move ahead towards
A stable life to look forward to

My American life is mundane
At first glance
But to me it holds much more

An opportunity is ahead of me
To change the world for the better
So much excitement will be for me in the future

But still I sit
Wondering
Why I even wonder at all
