For IWD, Coach asked me to write about determination, the word that actually connects all the fights inside of me. I love the fact that they asked for the poem to be in both languages, Spanish and English.
Everything I said no to
for keeping me from my fight,
all the bad love I rejected
cause I trusted a better love to come,
all my pain I’ve healed:
I owe to my determination.
–
Todo a lo que dije no
porque me alejaba de mi lucha,
todo el mal amor que rechacé
porque confié en uno mejor,
todo el dolor del que me curé:
Se lo debo a mi determinación.
