skin laid as leaves
my soul the seed, vessel bound
hush, here comes the freeze
Think of life, never to be forgotten
Heart is open and never closing
Mouth is moving, words are spoken
I’ve resented my skin as long as I can remember
Saw the pale faces around me.
wishing to look like them
Mold myself in their image.
They say god created us from clay
Holding my words above my head.
Words stemmed from rumors that bring out the worst.
I, the kindest soul...
have grown the meanest exterior.
All because of the words...
held above my head.
Dear _______,
I won’t give you a name.
You know who you are
And I know, too.
I’m trying to forget.
I’m trying to let go of the
Little obstacles I’ve been through.
We didn't need time
neither did we need someone else
I needed you by my side
and you wished to be here now.
But it is not my fault
neither is it yours
this happened how it did
Dear my Love, the walls have fallen,
The stones and mortar have given way.
Authorities have not yet told
If it were attack, or mere decay.
The resting village still lies in peace,
Is looking through clear glass
the same as being outside?
With my eyes open wide,
As a little child I played in an open field of dreams
Not having a care in the worldBut as time went by a fence started to build a barrier around me
Live, laugh, love, have freedom
Walk, run, enjoy the sun
Be happy, be sad, be angry, go crazy
Cry, smile, hug each other
Sing together
Dream together
Feel each other’s pain together
A little girl built a mighty fortress,Words.
Of complexity and undeniable eloquence,What she hoped to be inside.
it all began a few years ago,
My eyes were opened, now i cant let it go.
It's my mom
she is the REAL bread winner in the fam
its a shame what she has for as a man
she works and works and nothing pays off
(poems go here)Ser Inmigrante Mexicano no es cosa del otro mundo
Significa trabajar tres veces más fuerte,
dormir con preocupaciones,
vivir con sueños,
