I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
I want more than to exist
_____
I spent my whole life searching
_____
I walked barefoot through the dark night
_____
I bared my teeth, did it with tenderness
_____
I was afraid of crumbling and of bitterness
_____
I silenced the voices when they sang to me
_____
I waited alone when they screamed
_____
I bit my tongue, saw myself sad in the mirror
_____
I ate the bread and the dust and one day I said
_____
Enough of poems, enough of pity
_____
I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
_____
I want more than to exist
_____
I grew up full of dreams, came from nothing
_____
My mom cried when I hit the road
_____
I wanted my name beside the stars
_____
To belong and be the topic of conversations
_____
Pride and ambition opened a wound
_____
The tears, the hand of the one who gave me life
_____
I prayed through the night, hoping
_____
To find myself in that child's eyes
_____
But enough of poems, enough of pity
I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
_____
I want more than to exist
