I've got experience… Oh, my, this sounds stupid
You have the right to laugh at me, my friend.
At twenty, me, young yet sarcastic woman…
I feel like I am back in seventh grade.

My burning heart now beats with crazy swiftness
My lips are trembling slightly; palms are wet
I've got experience… oh, what a childish sweetness
It makes me blush and keep those words unsaid.

I went through pain and rage, through hate and sorrow  
I desperately cried and cursed that Love
I thought nobody else could touch my feelings
I thought ex-lovers made me tough enough.

Oh, what a crap! Insomniac reflection
Still has the same obsessive crazy eyes  
It slowly flows in opposite directions
And cries again, and mocks, and lives in lies.  

My anger eats the soul with stubborn madness
Again my love in madness lives and dies
Again I am the child that seeks perfection…
And grown up woman wearing her disguise.


...somos los locos para siempre
para siempre te amo
   mi vida...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

"Again I am the child that seeks perfection…
And grown up woman wearing her disguise."


  That reflects so much of the poem that's been slowly forming in my mind.  

We've all been here, I think.

Well done

I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.
