Fatima Alvarez Poems

After I swallow, I hear no voices,
My only cure, I ran out of choices.
The demons were winning, I had no escape,
They messed with my mind and messed with my shape.
...

Here comes the storm,
Lightning and thunders ready to perform.
Don't worry, they say, because there soon will be light,
So why can't I stop this consuming fright?
...

How do I tell you I'm scared if you've never shown fear?
How do I tell you I'm broken if you've always fixed me?
How do I tell you I'm losing this fight if you are the one getting beaten?
How do I tell you I'm not hungry when you haven't eaten?
...

How evil is evil if always misunderstood?
A heart that's been shattered, a heart that's been bruised.
No story will end with the villain triumphant;
The princess is rescued, the tale is redundant.
...
