Por fin me cogi al hombre casado
fue agradable, fue placentero

fue sucio,fue vergonzoso
fue terrible
fue un infierno lleno de culpabilidad

Poetry: Last Day of 40

I wrote this poem in February of 2022.

me on the last day of 40

Last day of 40 and it feels like the longest year of my life
My 4th decade started with the miracle of what I thought was true love
But nope-it was another story of disillusionment and loss
growth and progress became the theme in my 40th year
I beat a 15 year driving phobia and made art from heartbreak and trauma
and I’m no longer scared to live my truth out loud
with my family, friends, and my online community
I also learned I was enough and complete by myself
and never needed someone to validate my existence
And as year 40 closes,I’m amazed by my creativity and resilience
and how time and time again I turn my trauma and grief
into the ultimate comeback story
For year 41,I hope to continue to thrive with calm and tranquility
and enjoy the magic I found within

Poetry: Energy Drinks

me at my second job ….

What is your favorite drink?

You are a necessary evil for a long day
You bring give me hope and a Goddess Complex
but the crash from you is so brutal
at times, I want to quit you for my health
but after 3 years, you’re a constant in my life
that I will need as long as I have 12 hour days
to make ends meet

Poetry: A Knock on My Door

I wrote this poem in February of 2022.

this kid makes my dark days worth living

When darkness comes in and my sadness sets in
it covers me and I can’t see the point of it all
And then I hear a knock and it’s my son
And I remember, today he’s my life’s purpose
I need to get up and face another dreadful day
My child needs food and shelter
I can’t let my depression win
I’m a mother first
My darkness will have to be martyred
Remembering over and over again
on days like today my child’s presence
makes my bad days worth living

Poetry: Scenes of Dissociation

I wrote this poem in February of 2022.

share your story

I fantasize about death after my boyfriend’s rejection
I’m so out of touch with reality, a car stops inches away from me
the driver honks at me and cusses me out
I am 15

I want to throw myself of the bridge on the way
to confirm I’m my parent’s worst failure
but a kick inside me saves me
I am 17

I want my baby to stop crying, my head is starting to spin
with psychosis and I hold him a little too tight
until my husband takes him from away me
I am 30

I’m crying while spewing nonsense
while my lover looks at me in horror and disgust
I know it’s over
I am 40

PoesΓ­a: Valiente y Fuerte

Here is the English version of this poem:

https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/11/06/poetry-miserable-memories/

regrese al mundo que me causo trauma en mi infancia
bastante a cambiado, bastante sigue igual
recuerdos de dolor, miseria, y pobreza regresaron
a mi mente
la niΓ±a miedosa y ansiosa que era me visita
pero esta vez , la llevΓ³ de la mano
y le digo, ahora eres una mujer valiente y fuerte
y las personas que te hicieron daΓ±o
nunca mΓ‘s lo harΓ‘n, las personas que te traumaron
ahora son parte de tu pasado

PoesΓ­a: Mosquita Muerta

EscribΓ­ este poema en febrero del 2022.

mosquita muerta

Mis compaΓ±eros quieren que me trepa en el armazΓ³n de barras
Y tengo mucho miedo y me da ansiedad
Les miento y les digo β€œmi mami no me dio permiso”
Tengo 5 aΓ±os

Le digo a mi hermana que tengo que estudiar
con mis amigas pero en realidad
voy al cine con unos muchachos
Tengo 15 aΓ±os

Llego a mi casa embaraza de 7 meses
y mis padres esta desilusionados sin comprender
β€œel porqué” si soy una niΓ±a buena
Tengo 17 aΓ±os

Poetry: Put Together

What were your parents doing at your age?

At 41, my mother worked two jobs, raised 3 kids,
and still kept the spark in her marriage alive
I don’t know how she did it all without ever
breaking apart-
I don’t remember ever seeing her cry
but I do remember her temper, her anger
and being afraid of her sometimes

PoesΓ­a: No Soy La Misma

Here’s the English Version of this poem:

https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/12/27/poetry-she-stopped-waiting/

me dejaste sin advertencia
me entumeci a tu memoria
fuistes otro capitulo
que nunca mΓ‘s quiero abrir
y ahora me llamas
con mil disculpas y remordimientos
Y a mi no me importa
no soy la misma chica que tu conociste
no soy la ingenua que tu enamoraste
con mentiras
ahora conozco mi valor y mi magia
y no me menospreciare para dejarte
regresar a mi vida

Poetry: Someday is Today

I wrote this poem in February of 2022.

someday everything won’t feel so heavy
someday I won’t swim in anxiety
someday I’ll find self love
Someday I’ll be enough
Someday, someday, someday
Maybe someday is today
today I see the light
today I’m grateful for my life
today I feel like enough
Today I have self love
Maybe just maybe
Today I’m truly happy

PoesΓ­a: Mi Futuro Contigo

Here is the English version of this poem:

https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/12/25/poetry-looking-forward/

sentandome en nuestra felicidad de reciΓ©n casados,
le doy las gracias a Dios por tanta felicidad
vendrΓ‘ muchos recuerdos que haremos de nuestra vida compartida
criando a nuestros hijos desde bebitos a adolescentes angustiados
discusiones triviales, responsabilidades, y facturas de la casa
y un dΓ­a le contaremos a nuestros nietos nuestro cuento de amor
nos pelearemos de quien iniciΓ³ nuestra relaciΓ³n (fui yo)
hoy dia, soy la mujer mΓ‘s feliz en el mundo
en convirtiΓ©ndome en tu esposa
