Perdí mi razón porque me quitaste tu amor Perdí mis ganas de vivir cuando te fuistes Pedía que la muerte me lleve para no sentir el más profundo dolor dentro de mi me sentia que me hundia en una arena movediza de amargura y furia y no encontraba nada para sacarme
My lack of common sense left being me loyal to people who never deserved it..
Our story needed to end and today feels like the definitive ending You’ll never give me the consistency in love I need And I’ll never birth the baby you wanted We’re too different, we’re too alike and I sarcastically and constantly ask myself “are we having fun yet” Sometimes we did but most of the time I never understood where I stood So block me and , forget me You’ll never be enough for me and I’ll never be enough for you
me and my boys-one of the major reasons I’m determined to be the strongest and most empowered woman in their lives
Our children pay attention to the stories we tell ourselves I noticed when my son’s heart broke for the first time and it awakened a deep catharsis within me I would no longer hold onto my victim story the one where I tell myself, “I’m worthless, I’m not good enough, I’m unlovable” Instead I’ll walk with confidence and all of the self love I can muster up for myself maybe just maybe if I can model this type of healthy behavior the cycle of generational self loathing and self destruction will finally be broken And my children has a chance of living a life filled with more joy and contentment than mental illness
My aura is a bright orange red it means I’m passionate, it means I get angry easily it means I have the most intense energy and while I joke how my soul is black my aura tells a different story It tells a story of a woman who loves hard who’s an emotional mess at times Who fosters a unique strength and resilience to go on Who’s a fucking Goddess
my poetry has never been to get attention, likes, comments, validation and while I appreciate all those things I have to be honest – my poetry is and will always be for me to speak my truth, to process my feelings, to heal from life’s tragedies to understand myself and learn to love myself as I am my poetry is the ultimate love letter to myself and the universe
I look calm but inside of me lies the heart of a leona
my protective instinct rings loudly in me I will protect everyone I love no matter what even if I have to die for them to be safe even if I have to leave them alone for them to have peace of mind their well being means everything to me inside of me lies the heart of a lioness ready to roar ready to protect everyone she loves
the freedom and independence in my son brings me a sense of pride with so much happiness I see his fiery spirit shine from within and his light is so bright- I know I’ve done something right he’s not afraid to take risks, he’s not afraid of failure He’s not afraid to be himself and I breathe a sense of relief he will not bear the sense of forced obligations or burden of expectations I had- instead he’ll make himself and his happiness a priority above all else while still caring for humanity it’s the beginning of breaking a generational curse of obedient and silent martyrdom that’s been inherited for generations
thought I was done with this part of my life accepted solitude was now my new life but you had to smile at me butterflies appear and I want to vomit my heart races everytime you’re near And ugh, I fucking hate you for this so embarrassing at my age to crush on someone so hard and to write poems about a new unrequited love And I tried to ignore and quell this feeling but you have the audacity to appear in my dreams maybe it’s your fire energy, maybe it’s your poetry I’m not sure exactly what it is but fuck you for bringing out the romantic in me
a pretty existence is presented on social media for the world to see how we’re all living our best lives seldom do we share our struggles because we’re all too scared of being vulnerable because we’re scared of being perceived as weak for showing who we really are
this poem is inspired by a poem I wrote in 2006 about my first baby daddy.
he turned out just fine
He turned out fine without you in his life I understand now that it was for the best that you weren’t a part of his story I no longer hold resentment for you your replacement taught him all of the important things how to shave, how to drive compassion and kindness your replacement still checks up on him even though he’s a grown your replacement was never called Dad but your replacement is the only father he’s ever known
Anger trickles in throughout my body I didn’t get enough sleep and the monster of PMDD is creeping in I scream at the universe for playing a certain song on the radio And I get annoyed by everything I hate being so sensitive and triggered by the stupidest shit I hate being mentally ill I hate how the smallest change in my routine causes me to spiral into nonsensical circle of fury
