Feel the Pain
Put away the meds; I want to feel the pain, may her wish not be in vain. I want to know just how much life is willing to hurt me. Put away the meds.

Who The Hell Am I – A Poem
This is yet another identity post. I often wonder, you see… “American” is broad, so I won’t go there Dominican by birth, but people don’t care. They think I’m Cubana, sometimes Colombiana Puerto Rican, Brazilian, even Peruana. In my grandpa’s blood, Asian; in my grandma’s, French African for sure; Spain brought in the slaves. “What…
High Five
For finding the courage to let go of weaknesses however benign; thoughts of cake? Cigarettes? Drugs? Or maybe wine? High five! For getting your degree against all odds rubbing it in the face of those who said you wouldn’t get jobs. High five! For working out every day until seeing the results you wanted feeling…
Warm Stream
It comes at night and its warmth burns my eyes as it falls it leaves a mark when I no longer hear yours but my own breath. Deep inside no one knows what I’m feeling, this feeling what I’m wishing, this wish, if only it were a dream wake up to new eyes. At night…
Only Human
We’re only human. We’re slow, we ignore hints, We don’t get life, we don’t get anything, We bow to other humans We still believe in promise rings. We love and we hate, We understate, we exaggerate We trip and we fall We pick ourselves back up again. No instructions in life, living the best we…
Oh Christmas Lights
Came to a stop, a traffic light And saw you shining, you million lights Looked like a dream, you blew my mind Couldn’t have missed you even if blind Wrapped around branches, windows and doors Bringing bliss and glee that passersby adore Oh, Christmas lights, shining so bright Light up my sky on cloudy nights.
Today I Want to Cry
Today I feel like crying because life doesn’t get me because I don’t get life because my emotions are eating me alive. Today I want to cry because I don’t know when to go, I don’t know when to stop. And there’s no clear direction, no clear path. Tell me a story, a happy one…
Like last night
I could hold your hand while you kiss my face Slowly giving in to temptation. Like last night, come on over and steal a kiss. Forget about the world; just you and me. Make it sweet, make it worthwhile. Two bodies in flame, could be a while. Touch you again kiss passionately through the night….
Despite it All
Despite your insensitivity, Despite your blatant pride, Despite your disregard for people’s feelings, Despite your incapability to admit your faults, Despite your genuine belief that to you the world should bow, Despite the backstabbing, Despite it all, I think of you today and I miss us.
Fallen
I hate this feeling I know what it means. It’s haunted me times before, It overpowers me. It’s bittersweet It’s everything but what it needs to be. The end is near, I feel it I’m so bad at this.
An Apology
We’re not perfect Do you ever wonder why we’re holding on to this anger? I haven’t forgotten what we’re fighting for But I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth it anymore. I want the you I used to know back I’m not willing to forget, just willing to forgive Or is it the other way…
Is It Love?
Are your palms sweaty? Is your heart racing and your voice caught within your chest? It isn’t Love, it’s Like. You can’t keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right? It isn’t Love, it’s Lust. Are you proud, and eager to show them off? It isn’t Love, it’s Luck. Do you want…
