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.
