I am me.
I am me.
I am from
mistakes and moments
Me
I am from family
“la familia lo es todo”
Everything
I am from summer nights
drowning in the cool depth: relaxation. Plastered by the protection.
Free
I am from Sunday mornings
as the holy water touches my bare skin I feel a healing, as I bend down on my bare knees they are raw with pain. As I place my hands together touching my for head and lips, the prayers i say have a warm breath from my trembling lips, the prayers i say have a voice.
Faithful
I am from school days
brick walls enclosed of rumours, books written with lies, my hidden cries.
Sequel
I am from a mask
hiding the truth, speaking the desired lies
Exposed
I am from choices
choices turn into a chance, my reality turns into a fantasy.
Indecisive
I am from dedication
The adrenaline rushing through my veins, my heart beat pounding like drums at a fiesta, my breath is stolen out from my lungs, the moment around me pauses, without contemplating the risk is taken, the moment comes back. The sounds of cheering echos, I glance into the stands the first sight I see is my mother’s tears fall down to her smile, I can breathe again, I place my palms together, the creases are filled, as I kiss them they lead my eyes to follow a place full of moments like these. My eyes close, but i still see light.
Relief
I am from experience
“mistakes are only mistakes if you have not learned from them”
Lesson
I am from music
connecting to the beat, moves will flow without hesitation.
Connection
I am from attitude
“treat me like a game, i will show you how it is played”
Conquer
I am from royalty
I am a queen, I keep my head held high so my diamond crown will not fall and shatter. I do not look down at others, i do not look back at the rumours spoken, I look forward, with my hair flipped, chin up, crown on.
Independent
I am from
the mistakes that are made into lessons and the moments that are made into memories.
Me.
