understand the word estupid.
it's a back road that's lucky to have potholes.
Listen! the animales.
it's 7am and you missed the truck to work.
Feel your toes and the reason you're missing shoes.
You're the lucky one because you understand alma. The word amor comes easy to you.
Can you hear the dirt stomp over your head? There's a reason laughter doesn't come often to you.
Keep your lips shut the words in the back of your throat only cut open your mouth when you speak.
Sometimes the words left unsaid aren't the ones that mean most.
It's the days when you do wake and bleed for someone else.
The days where the laughter is a part of you not besides you.
It's the moment your shoes fit.
Where you'll find that it's okay to be brown.
