Most Precious Journey / First place in Miami Dade Poetry Contest :)

Is this a book already written?
What I went through is now somebody's burden.
It's hard. I won't lie;
and it gives you two choices: To fight or cry!
I chose to fight, and now I see that this is the land where I'm supposed to be.
It might be destiny, or a plan;
a plan from the sweetest hands ever known to man.
The hands of the writer that chose his characters from all over the world.
And invited us to journey, a journey where we will meet our goals.
USA, land of opportunities where in other places people only dream about.
Soil, participant to our needs.
Air that lets us breath;
lets us breath in peace.
USA battlefield! Is where we learn that there is more than what we already know.
Different morals, different believes,
different ideas that can be mixed.
Learning about each other, we all become one.
Before we were strangers; now we hold hands.
And we fight for the same reasons:
Our freedom, our honor, and our rights.
