Untitled Poem by Maura Sánchez

You look at me in disgust
as if it is a must
I actually thought you loved me
because I felt it was just

Through all the fears
My mind clears

You will always be the same
Myself I no longer blame
I would love to cry
but it will not put out the flame

Through all the years
My heart jeers

Why do you make me so different?
Aren't we from the same womb?
I numb my heart to feel indifferent
It will all manifest in my tomb

So why would I bother to make you see?
Aren't you the one who left me out in the cold?
This is the way I will always be
This is me-
And I hope my story does not go untold
