That’s what I’ve been taught to do,

or not to. Tough skin, titanium within.

Isolated mind,

I learned to speak in muffled silences.

Sweet treat. They say I’m discreet. As if

I shake and sweat my dark thoughts to keep away.

All my energy drench on making sure they don’t sift through,

Dilate, increased heart rate.

Bleeding into my pores and blanching the membrane of my hairs from root to split end.

Que hoy me da calor

color

Y amor

Amor amor
