THIS IS ME

 

-  July 9, 1996, I was born, but at the same time, didn't exist,

she was my father's first kid, and my mom's first daughter, my sister, paola,

- happiness can't define what they felt, ahh(laughs),

I grew up thinking I was a wanted baby just like she was,

but I was wrong, yes, I was wrong!

- I didn't know my mom, she left me when I was nine months old,

just met her 7 years ago, but it turns out that my dad wanted a boy,

- when I was 13, I heard all these things,

- since then every night was a nightmare, my enemy the air,

- I remember those nights where I couldn't breathe because those things were killing me,(ah-anger expression)

- my internal beauty was consumed,

my heart, bleeding in the inside, I didn’t understand what was going on!

- my name was mistake, mistake,

- I grew up by myself, and through that I learned that God never fails,

a deep pain I felt, I thought I had no reason to be in this world,

- I tried to satisfy myself with so many things, ganging with the wrong people, and what not… but God came on time,

- and  I thank life for those knockings that she gave me because today, I'm an overcomer

-I learned that one walks with feet and flies with wings,

- that you have to believe even when you don’t see-you don't need a million people by your side in order for you to achieve,

- I learned how to appreciate the clouds when the sun hides from me,

- how to dance in the rain, how to color my days,

if you make wise decisions today, tomorrow, you'll be okay,

when to talk, and when not to talk, how to get up and walk,

- so many people ask me how come someone like me, at a young age, has been through so much, so much pain, so many trials, so many humiliations,

- I have so many things to tell you, but I don't got time for that!

- just remember that life is like a cassette, and even if your magnetic tape is all messed up, the beautiful song inside of it will always exist, it was a pleasure, and THIS IS ME.
