i am a daughter
from a father that wants to control me
and a mother who tries to be the best she can be

she wants me to be like her
and no one else
can tell me anything

i want to leave this protection
and go to a place
different from all the places
ive visited
in my life

i have gone to many places
europe, canada,latin america
but no place has ehat i need

i would like to find a place
that lets me read that i want
talk how i want
listen to what i want
eat what i want
see who i want

with no one telling me anything
and that they leave me at peace

but after some time
i will find myself sad
for wanting to be loved

and like i wasnt at home
for soo long
everyone hugged me as if
i never left the house
This is the English translation of Mi Vida. Sorry for being late in posting it
