Me Desprendo de Tu Vientre

I come from the center of your womb to this life
With the crying and blindness that it imposes
I know that by breathing alone I will live enduring
Until my body takes true form

Oh, how easy it was for me to be born
With my mother's pain
And thus begin to grow

And feel my bones still not wanting to stay
And wanting my name to sound impressive
And open my eyes that I never knew were there
To catch the lights just by looking at them

Oh, how easy it is for us to grow
When we don't want to see
That living is not just breathing

And go through school and high school
And close my mind to anything fake
And bleed my face for having shouted loudly
And later know that something is always learned

And today yesterday seems far away
And I see that I am growing
How much is left behind, so far behind
