poesΓ­a: no debΓ­

here is a link to the English version of this poem:

Poetry: Dead to ME

no debΓ­ creer en tus promesas
pero querΓ­a darte una una oportunidad nueva
para cambiar tu cuento de cobarde al hΓ©roe
pero de nuevo me decepcionaste
esto me pasΓ³ por ser una terca, una romΓ‘ntica
y pensar que las personas pueden cambiar

Poetry: Rewriting my story

I wrote this poem in July of 2022.

I was trapped in a mental cage of misery
I didn’t know how to rewrite my story
and while poetry helped me
it was with grief and therapy I finally felt free
I learned to let go of old resentments and grudges
and healed old emotional bruises
and while I still have minor annoyances
my anger and angst no longer control me

Poetry: Disintegration

I wrote this poem in July of 2022.

yes I’m a hardcore band…who plays Joji on repeat

My disintegration looks like a tsunami that destroys me
I try to navigate the tidal waves of my emotions
and that tidal waves washes over me, and I’m overwhelmed
and my logic is short circuited, and impulsivity takes over
Oh shit I posted that
Oh fuck I bought that
Sorry, I didn’t mean that-
And I harm myself and others without malicious intent
and don’t remember how it happened

poetry: your biggest regret

aqui esta la version en espanol:

Poesia: Error

forgetting him will be your biggest regret one day
as you grow older, you’ll wonder about what could have been
if only you had found your courage
if only you hadn’t been so passive
and now it’s getting too late for you to be a father to him
the seeds of resentment are growing in him
the damage of your abandonment is irreparable

my future

Daily writing prompt
What are you most excited about for the future?

My future is a sky blue and full of potential
Now that I’ve walked away from anyone
or anything that limited me
I’ve let go of any grief I held within
I’ve embrace my crazy
and now let it out creatively
Is this the beginning of a new me?
Am I finally the person I was always meant to be?

Poetry: Another Mistake

Aqui esta version en Espanol de este poema:

Poesia: Moriste Para Mi

You were another mistake made
another one I’m throwing in the land of the forgotten
another one who couldn’t appreciate the rare and precious gem
that I am
another one who’ll inspire poetry about how my heart broke once again
by trusting the wrong man

PoesΓ­a: Quisiera

Here is the English version of this poem:

Poetry: Could I Be The One?

Quisiera ser la pasion detras de tu inspiraciΓ³n
que te hace escribir mil poemas de amor
Quisiera ser tu amanecer que despierta lo mejor en ti
Quisiera ser tu calma despuΓ©s de la tormenta de la tragedia
Quisiera ser el gran amor de tu vida y una de tus razones de vivir

Poesia: Que Pena, Querido

Here is the English version of this poem:

Poetry: Discarded Crush

me menosprecias como si fuera nada,
como si fuera una mujer ordinaria
acaso no puedes ver mi magia?
acaso no puedes ver que soy una diosa
disfrazada con piel de humana?
pero, no, tu me rechazas-
pensando que soy una mujer ignorante,
que soy una cualquiera ni siquiera digna de un beso-
y no te puedo cambiar de parecer
que pena, querido, a lo mejor pudiΓ©ramos haber sido
el poema de amor mΓ‘s legendario y profundo en el mundo

I turn off my phone

Daily writing prompt
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
me when I unplug

I turn the world off and by the world I mean my phone-
I’m done with the posts about healing or being self aware
or reels about how people like me struggle
because of patriarchy or white supremacy
I’m done with texts and calls from friends and family
asking if I’m okay because of some weird status I posted
I’m done with the announcements about babies
or impending marriages or how so and so’s kid made honor roll
I’m done with emails asking me if I want to improve
my website or am I ready for a new summer wardrobe
I’m just done with the world today and retreat into my world
of writing,reading, and vinyls

Poesia: Perdoname

Here is the English version of this poem:

Poetry: Thoughts

regresas para decirme que no puedes parar de pensar en mi
que todavΓ­a me extraΓ±as, que cometiste un error al rompernos
y todo lo que alguna vez sentΓ­ por ti vuelve a la superficie
y quiero cerrar los ojos y correr a tus brazos
y empezar un nuevo cuento de amor contigo
pero la razΓ³n interviene, y mi dignidad regresa
al acordarme del infierno que vivΓ­ cuando te fuiste
y te digo
β€œperdoname, pero no puedo cometer el mismo error denuevo”
