I Have... Poem by victoria martinez

I have a head full of memories
And a heart full of pain
I have eyes that have seen too much
And ears that heard so much
I have a mind that wants to give up
And a body that’s so tired
I have a world that’s collapsing
And a soul that can go no higher
I have a life that was never perfect
And a reality that burns
I have dreams that never saw the light
And I have a love that was overlooked
I have problems that no one can solve
And I have a mother who gives up when she’s confronted
I have a past that would make you cry
And I have a future that doesn’t include the word die
I have a passion that roots so deep
And I have everything I need.
