Save

Save

My knees are not responding

Help! Help. Help... help?

My knees are not responding

My body doesn't recognize orders

And my soul is way too far from me.

Help. Help... can anyone hear me?



Help.

My voice is gone and no one listens

I scream over and over again

And my lungs already stop bombing

Wait, I mean my heart is not working

My knees, my lungs, my heart

Everything seems to be broken.


How can this darkness hug me?

I feel its tenderness even if it scares me.

Look, I am growing while crying

My legs are getting longer

I feel so much taller

Has this world always been so welcoming?


My hands. My hands are still shaking

Good Lord, I am so confused. Save me.

Save me? Save me! Save me! Save me.

I am scared. Hold my hand and show me.

My long legs are trembling due to weakness

Am I weak? No, I am just a novice.


I didn't have classes to fight novel problems

I learned to write, to read, add and substract

But you can't substract yourself from life when failing

Am I a failure or just a bad student?

Always bringing my mom disappointing eighteens

Never a twenty girl as I should have been.


But my legs are longer and I am still moving

I am one inch closer to the sky and growing

I cry every night to sleep because it hurts me

“Growing pains” are called nothing more, nothing less.

Then I will reach the sky while falling

I learned the hard way that I, too, got wings.

MiSc

Gentle

                           

Gentle. You are, maybe, too gentle

And your eyes shine too much.

Your laugh has too much joy

And your sorrow too many tears,

Maybe you should calm down a bit

Before the sky claims you its

And you have to wave us goodbye,

Unable to remain by our side.



Gentle. You are, maybe, too gentle

And that is why cats fear you not

Even when you are way too high

And that is why I reached out my hand to you

Even when you are far above.

Somedays I dream about becoming a cotton ball,

And match up with the flavor of your soul

But I am just an oatmeal cookie, in love with the moon.



Gentle. You are, maybe, too gentle

And your hands careful with anything they touch,

You who lives with rocks tied to your shoes

Not letting your wings take you home

I am taking parachuting lessons

In case I ever have to go looking for you

I could never simply let you go

I am still learning how real love works.


Gentle. You are, maybe, too gentle

So much that I wish to steal a hug,

So much that fishes gather around,

So much and so naturally that I will never know how,

Maybe the sun rays trying to reach your back

Are nothing but secret messages revealing your divine roots,

And I am just dreaming that I am seeing you

But it is, actually, a flashback from before being born.


Gentle. You are, maybe, too gentle

And I have found myself in your voice

I have regained my strength through your love

And I am gifting you my life through this oath

Offering you all my rainbows, my rain, and my worlds

If you grant me my one and only wish since long ago

I want to stay by your side through the storms

And may our hearts never let go of this love.

Siempre es así

Yo lloro y zapateo
Y tú sonríes como el cielo,
Yo grito y me ofendo
Y tú me dices “lo siento”.

Siempre es así
Contigo brillando en mis silencios
Penetrando mis barreras
Mientras yo me sorprendo.

Yo cuento las horas
En las que no te veo completo
Y tú me cantas canciones
De amor infinito en pleno desierto.

Siempre es así
Contigo alumbrando mis senderos
Sobrepasando las fronteras
Mientras yo me desvelo.

Yo insisto y me quiebro
Siempre en declive y decaigo
Tú me levantas con abrazos
Me empujas solo mil besos.

Siempre es así
Contigo evaporando mis complejos
Suavizando mis caídas
Mientras yo solo te miro.

Bases de Aluminio

No sabía porque yo nunca sé
Perdida siempre en mi revés
Confundida y sin entender qué es
La mania de querer responder porqués

Me paso la vida de laberinto en laberinto
Logrando nada porque todo es absurdo
Intentando todo porque el humano es atrevido
Soñando alcanzar ese norte tan ansiado.

En realidad no sé ni qué ansío
Forzando realidades en este mi vacío
Tal vez así la angustia no resquebraje el equilibrio
De mis falsas bases de aluminio.

Translation by myself:

I didn’t know why because I never know
Lost always in my mishap
Confuse and without understanding what is it
The fixation to want to answer why’s

I spend my life from labyrinth to labyrinth
Getting nothing because everything’s absurd
Trying everything because the human is bold
Dreaming of reaching that north so desired.

In reality, I don’t even know what I desire
Forcing realities in this, my emptiness
Maybe like this anguish won’t crack the equilibrium
Of my fake bases of aluminum.
