Escondida

Siempre quise ser parte de algo

Pero me escondi como un muerto en un sarcofago

I was afraid of being myself

My own persona was shelved

copy and paste

What i wore, how i spoke, the way i acted, I made sure everything was replaced

But I used to be proud

Small yet loud

A voice that echoed like thunder's roar,

Bold and fearless, never a bore,

A soul that spoke with fiery passion,

Fueling the flame of every action.

And then I was left astray

Kept myself hidden away

A gentle soul with timid heart,

Shy and reserved, set apart,

Withdrawn from the world outside,

Hiding what I felt inside.

Eyes cast down, avoiding gaze,

Afraid to speak, to voice my ways,

My true self hidden from view,

Covered by a mask of subdued hue.

But I’m tired and done

Not trying to fit in a group and be part of one

Y ahora soy una alma valiente que busca su camino,

Dejando atrás lo que ya no es destino,

Decidida a dejar de seguir la corriente,

Y descubrir mi esencia, mi ser verdadero y latente.

Dejando atrás las máscaras y los disfraces,

Dejando ir los miedos y las apariencias falsas,

Abrazando la libertad de ser quien soy,

Descubriendo el poder que vive en mi ser.

With a complexion rich like the earth,

A shade of brown that speaks of ancient birth,

A nose that's proud, a prominent feature,

Telling tales of heritage and culture.

In stature, small but strong in heart,

A mighty spirit that refuses to depart

From the traditions that have shaped my past,

A legacy that forever will last.

Indigenous roots run deep within,

Echoes of a time long ago begin,

This is a soul of Mexican descent,

A heritage they hold with great intent,

A person of beauty, grace, and pride,

A shining star that never will hide.

With words that strike like lightning bolts,

Cutting through the air like sharp jolts,

I stands tall and unafraid,

My voice rings out like a serenade.

And to those that were once like me

May you find the courage to reveal,

The beauty and strength that you conceal,

And share their gifts with the world at large,

To shine and sparkle, like a star in charge.

Que el mundo se abre ante tus ojos,

Un lienzo en blanco para crear tu propio gozo,

Con pasos firmes y voz segura,

Que te lances a vivir tu aventura.
