I Am From My Own Darkness
By Francesca Rios | From : Peru | School : Bloomfield High SchoolI am from mashed potatoes with rice and grilled chicken
My mom sitting at the corner of the kitchen, watching TV
Me playing with my chihuahua Michi
Fresh potatoes, salt, milk and oregano
The best mashed potatoes in your life
I am from a big town where kids can play
I hear lovers and tears
One little girl sitting on a swing with no fear of falling
Her unique goal is touching the sky with her little hands
I am from a corner of Lima, San Borja
Big white house with a pool
A pool unused for 7 years
I am from L.O.V.E
A man with his friend at the party
Drinking beer and talking with girls
I saw him he saw me
He was a man
I am from P.E.A.C.E
Freedom that feeling is never gonna die
Butterflies in my stomach trying to make me say something stupid
No matter how hard I try to fight it off
I am from accident, L.I.F.E !?
People create rumors, always talk and gossip
About me, about you
Sometimes lies, sometimes the truth
I am from always happy
I don’t need a hand to hold
I got that fire in my soul
I have all this energy that screams for liberty
One night in NY, dancing , singing, screaming
You and me dancing in the moonlight
I am broke but happy ?
I am from you’re not enough
You’re not smart enough
School, colleague and work without break
I am from people who come and go
I lost a friend but I have news
My mom says you’re S.T.R.O.N.G
Strong enough, I’m proud of you
I am from nothing lasts forever
People you love will be dead one day. Just say THANKS
Without periods
I am from the people who say everyone have a purpose in this world
My purpose is to make people smile
Keep believing how gorgeous life is with a smile
I am from letting go of the pain.
With the little girl trying to touch the sky
