UNKNOWN

She walks, she smiles, she laughs,

She’s so happy at least that’s what we see,

She’s got company and love,

We say she’s very lucky,

We wish we were her,

We know we know her better even in her silence.

 

She’s jovial, she says hi!

She’s genius, she’s great,

She’s imperfect and so perfect in the same time,

She’s ironed, strong, suave, she’s all,

We say She’s a soy tu duena

And wish we were her,

We think we know her best even in her silent talks.

 

But, do we really know her?

Behind her walks, are steps taken and tripped, slipped and fallen,                        

Behind her smile,is a pain hidden in deeper dark locked parts of her heart,

Behind her laughter, is a cry only heard by the walls,comforted by the pillows,

Behind her happiness ,is a sorrow,a mourning for all she’s lost,

Behind her company and love,are people who belittle and hate her  fortitude,

Behind her luck,she’s unlucky, she’s imperfect, stupid, and human,

Behind her strength, is a weak wall crumbling down everyday wishing someone could hold it.

She’s a woman surrounded by emotions, behind her silence are words unspoken,

Behind her simple talks ,is a wish to hold tight her tongue and speak not,

She wishes she were you,you wish you were her,

She’s all relaxed,just to make you happy and comfortable

She knows you don’t know her,and she doesn’t want to be known beyond her image
