Mudanzas

Today I'm going to change
Check my suitcases well
And take out my feelings
And all resentments
Clean out the closet
Erase old grudges
And anxieties that were in my mind
So as not to suffer
For such little things
Stop being a child
To become a woman

Today I'm going to change
Bring out my courage
Commit to what I believe
And always be myself without fear
Dance and sing out of habit
And see clearly instead of darkly
Uproot my secrets
Stop living
If not to live life
That screams inside me
My freedom

Today I'm going to change
Get out of myself and not just be a heart
Leave behind failures and choose arms
And freedom that oppress my reason
Fly free with all my flaws
To be able to reclaim my rights
And not charge life for paths and decisions

Today I want and must change
Divide time and add to the wind
All the things I once dreamed of conquering
Because I am a woman like any other
With doubts and solutions, with flaws and virtues
With love and heartbreak
Gentle as a seagull, but fierce as a lioness
Calm and peacemaker
But at the same time, irreverent and revolutionary
Happy and unhappy, idealistic and dreamy
Submissive by condition, more independent by opinion
Because I am a woman
With all the inconsistencies that arise from me
Strong, weak sex

Today I'm going to change
Check my suitcases well
And take out my feelings
And all resentments
Clean out the closet
Erase old grudges
And anxieties that were in my mind
So as not to suffer
For such little things
Stop being a child
To become a woman
