i look around and have seen this all before,
we tell ourselves we discovered something new,
but we have lived this all before.

what is the blurry
between the joy and the blues,
we are daffodils flying in the wind
one moment
butterflies falling in the rain
another?

i tilt the glass so
the water creeps to the edge
of the glass rim

i think every night
tomorrow i'll be real
and stop acting like a fool.
i'll be my serious self,
leave the sugar at the door.

yet with the sun comes
the amnesia
"who am i?"
those three precious seconds,
then
"oh no"
i remember.

i dread the day.
the brushing of teeth
drinking of water
checking of phone
eating of pasta i will never finish

we all have faith in stop signs,
with their red skin
glaring out of the monotony.

knowing,
hoping,
willing the car to stop
at the command of the silent
octagon.

today i spilled the clorox
all over the linoleum tiles
and
i don't know why it matters
so much suddenly

that i'm alone
even just for a moment,
but even then i feel
alone for eternity

and the songs sound sadder
when you're sadder

but how can i be sadder when
there is nothing to be sad about,
at least not in my world?

mom says to stop letting myself
feel the pain of the world around me
because if i let it
seep into my mind,
into my being,
into my everything,
i will be too leaden to stand

i miss him so much.

his soul, his presence,
the way he smiles.

his hands, his eyes,
the way he holds me.

i may have the world at my fingertips
but you hold me in the palm of your hand

Vas o te lleva
La corriente de la vida
Interrumpes lo mundano
O te corrumpe y hace daño

Ya no duermas chiquitita
Que ya sabes quién tú eres
Eras
Seras
Para siempre o

Es lo mismo
Algo y nada
Blanco y *****

Y el baile que tú haces
Cuando nadie esta mirando
Tiene audiencia

Estrellas te aplaudian
Y hasta el sol te sonrie

Pero aislación no es la respuesta
Porque nunca estas sola
Basta con la ilusión

Tu tiempo ya llego
No apagues la alarma
O se apagará tu luz

Go or be taken
By the current of life
Punctuate monotony
Or it corrupts and wounds you

Sleep no more little one,
You already know who you are
Were
Will be
Forever or

It’s the same
Something and nothing
White and black

And the dance you do
When nobody’s watching
Has an audience

Stars applaud you
And even the sun smiles

But solitude is not the answer
Because you’re never alone
Enough with the illusion

Your time has come
Don’t turn off the alarm
Or your light will wither
