Gloraly Gomez Poems

</>I know these words
Have long been said
But I can't get them
Out of my head
...

</>I don't really know
What to say or do
When I'm here with
Or without you
...

</>Everyone says 'It's time to grow up'
But nobody tells me to ever wake up
I hope it's a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some kind of cruel treason, a well-thought-of scheme
...

</>We lack the leisure
For many things
And one is pleasure
That always brings
...

</>These rhymes keep repeating
They've been mentioned many times before
All they do is keep on saying
Things will never be new to us anymore
...

</>I'm growing up
Yet I'm still young
I'm feeling weak
Yet I'm so strong
...

</>There's no returning
To our old home
When all has been said
And all is done
...

Who's that girl
On the cover of this magazine?
I look at her
And wonder if that's really me
...

</>Dear mommy,
Your words come at me
Like a tsunami
Across the sea
...

</>If the rivers stopped their flow
When our parents told us no
Then tomorrow wouldn't show
Because sorrow wouldn't go
...
