La Sirena


Yo soy del fondo del mar

Nadie me puede provocar

Las olas vienen a mi lado

Y se acercan sin vergüenza

Los peces me besan con sus labios

Y las plantas me abrazan sin hacerme daño

La arena me ignora

Y siempre se me escapa

Encuentro muchas joyas

Pero nunca puedo alcanzarlas

Son como un sueno de la imaginación

El agua fría me despierta

Y del oscuro del fondo me concierta

Nunca he mirado el sol

O he sentido el aire en mi piel

Siempre mojada y raramente seca

Mis lágrimas nunca salen

Pero siempre están dentro de mi corazón

Mi cuerpo se mueve sin razón

Y vuela para siempre

Al momento que muero

Me hundo al fondo de la imaginación.

I've been writing poetry since I was 10. I've been using my imagination since I could talk. I'm a Native American with Mexican Heritage. I am also a recovering codependent and Chicana Feminist. My poetry might be triggering, so I caution whoever wants to read any of my poetry. I've taken English classes (and Spanish classes in college), however, the poems I post are pre-college. I will eventually most more post-college poems once I get back into the swing of writing poetry again. I'm applying for a Masters in Social Work, yet writing is my love that eventually led to my desire to know and help people.
