Independence Day
By Berlina Henriquez
It has been a while since I spent this holiday here. As it gets closer I can easily recall those times when I was younger and braver and willing to speak my mind. I see myself now and it seems like a thousand years have passed and I...I can hardly recognize myself! I have become such a private lady. I remember how excited I was when I spent my first Fourth of July! I wanted to see all the fireworks I used to see on TV, I could almost hear the pops, the noise, the cheers and the respect and reverence the citizens would feel.
I remember...
I remember...and yet I know I want to forget...
