My self-portrait

Yeah, I know I’m pretty,

For sure, I love make-up. 

Yes, I’m a little vain,

Hence, golden I wear.

 

I know I’m short and petit,

What a great excuse to wear heels!

I know I’m smart and have witt

Such great innate talents to keep!

 

Even though, some illnesses I have,

I am skilled enough to look for the answers,

To formulate the right questions,

And to crack a good joke.

 

I might lack Superman strength,

But the Batman willingness I possess.

I know I can achieve my goals and beyond,

If I trust myself as Wonder Woman does.

 

As the control freak that I am,

I cannot leave this poem without telling you more about me.

I love to write as I was taught.

I love to read as I once learned.

I love to dream as my inner self discovered.

 

And for sure I’m going to live

As however the heck I feel like to.

P.S. by the way,

I love lavender, but hate the flower.

Just because

  Just because I’m a woman that was born in Honduras

Doesn’t mean I’m uncultured,

Doesn’t mean I’m not polite,

And doesn’t mean I’m a tramp.

 

Just because I’m a woman that has a curvy body

Doesn’t mean I want to hear your so -called “complements”,

Doesn’t mean I’m here to please your twisted desires,

And doesn’t mean I have to stand your attitude towards my body.

 

Just because I’m a woman that has fibromyalgia

Doesn’t mean I can’t dream big,

Doesn’t mean I can’t work hard

And doesn’t mean I’m not capable.

 

Just because I’m a woman that has a bipolar disorder

Doesn’t mean I can’t make decisions,

Doesn’t mean I can’t have clear thoughts,

And doesn’t mean I won’t achieve my goals.

 

Just because I’m a woman that has some issues,

Why would I stop pursuing my ambitions?

Why wouldn’t I have the control of my life?

Why couldn't I be strong?

Just because I’m a woman that has some issues.
