She drinks every night until the last drop hits her tongue this is where she leaves out that door As I run towards her I trip and fall scraping my knee on the wooden floor She runs after me picking me up and carrying me to her room placing me on the bed quickly running after the rubbing alcohol and the band aids with the pretty pink princesses I hold my knees together not wanting to be touched she shouts "suelta" (Let go) and pulls my arms apart, her hands are as soft as cotton "Esto no va doler" (This won't hurt) I cry from the top of my lungs she lied It hurts She unwraps the pink princess then wipes the tears running down my cheeks She tells me "Mirame" (look at me) I can hardly see her pass the water gushing from my eyes She says "Vas a estar bien mija" (You're going to be okay my daughter) Her eyes are swollen burning red Her complexion is pale she has not slept Her hands placed over my legs are as cold as ice She's wearing the same clothes from yesterday evening She wraps her arms around my waist Slowly leaning over She says, "Te Amo" I love you I can smell the red wine

Mother's Love
Beauty:  qualities that satisfy the human eye. Why is it that the word beauty rigorously refers to physical appearance? To the naïve at least. A Girl lavished in compliments when she wears make up, but they vanish the day she shows up with a bare face. All of a sudden she feels less because she thinks she exposed too much of herself. As if telling the truth was a sin. She convicts herself by not allowing her eyes look directly into the eyes of others. Flaw:  an imperfection. What about the reflection of what radiates within the body? There is no guideline book written stating what human should look like, only a mental one. Is it possible with something with no universal meaning to exist? That would make the aesthetic value of a person’s visible figure imaginary. Faces don’t have to be symmetrical. Skin doesn’t have to be crystal clear. Hair doesn’t have to be silky smooth. Bodies don’t have to be proportional. Eyes that are afraid to see what is in the mirror, have minds that fail to realize they’re perfectly imperfect.

A Friendly Reminder
I’ve never seen someone like you You walk around like you don’t care Why don’t you care?   I’ve never seen someone so far away       You’re three feet away but I still fail to feel you Can you feel me? I’ve never seen someone so simple yet   You’re so rare         Where did you come from? You blend in with everyone around you but     Your face appears in everyone else’s    Who are you?   I don’t know you     You don’t know I We’re simply just strangers   Goodbye.

We Are Strangers
I have never been touched by hands that don't belong to I I have never been felt from the middle of my chest down to my soft tender thighs I haven't yet been caressed by desire and destroyed by lust
