Get to Know Me

Get to know what
makes me bell out with
head turning laughters
storytelling til we slumber

Get to know what
pulls the chords of mi corazón
sending salty droplets
and blowing my horn

Get to know what
makes my blood boil
until my heart aches
shouldering the weight

Get to know what
gives me courage
to heal into wholeness
surviving and thriving

Get to know what
brings turbulent tides
and calming seas
breathing at ease

Get to know me.
