Niña

Maybe they'll look for you
because you were born,
maybe they'll measure you as a woman,
maybe they'll harass you
because you grew up,
maybe they'll hate you for being a woman,

but don't stop
being the girl
who embraces
everything within herself,
but don't stop seeing the world
as a space to share.

Maybe they'll insult you,
maybe you won't be born,
maybe they'll invalidate you as a woman,

maybe you won't become
your true self,
maybe they'll push you as a woman,

but don't stop
being the girl
who embraces
everything within herself,
but don't stop seeing the world
as a space to share.
