Take me as I am


I am Manhattan where I was born and  I am Puerto Rico where I was raised


I am two cultures that I am proud to be a part of  


I am Puerto Rico that has this pretty views to see the ocean where the tides drag in  


I am the traveler that would like to go and meet new places I never been before


I am curious that wants to know what my future holds


I am the girl with the crazy curly hair with the freckles on her checks that are like the stars in the sky


I am the girl who like to make people laugh and never see them hurt or sad  


I am the brave girl that has to face the world and all it cruel ways  


I am the voice that’s always singing at any time of the day and when I do sing it’s with passion and out of my heart


I am who I am, take me as I am
