An expected blow

Everybody has problems, everyone is worried,

but you know of time where you have no problems?

childhood, an age we all experience.

It's a stage where you do not worry about many things,

like what you're going to eat, or what your going to wear today.

what your appearance is like if you're fat, skinny, tall, or short,

Each person can find thousands of defects,

but finding our virtues is like looking for a lentil seed in a bean sack,

it is so difficult to find positive things about ourselves

that is why I say that childhood is a stage where we were unaware of happiness,

birthdays, piñatas, toys, dolls, fairy tales; those we do remember.

The hardest time is when you stop being a child and become a teenager,

and a teenager to an adult.

that's when you have to make important decisions in your life,

I remember a decision in my life, that still fills me up with tears

 

I feel my tears running down my cheek, the smell of my mother and my family

hugging me.

The pain I feel is as great as the infinite universe,

on such a calm and beautiful morning

and suddenly somone tells you that you will leave the house,

to another state, another country

feeling as if you injured the little finger on your foot,

or worse as if you were dead and giving up everything for what?

For an education here,

and have to decide if you want your happiness with your family

or if you want to be unhappy with your future, be away from your family and live  the story of Cinderella

but without Prince Charming, and a happy ending

The story with a stepmother and two stepsisters who do everything to make my life impossible

as if I were a bug and they try to step on me as hard as they can,

They do not want to deal with me or see me succeed.

I feel trapped in a well without an exit

I climb slowly on a mountain and I try not to slip

and with many boulders on the back,

my mother is angry at me because I dont listen to her,

because I am not with her.

It is so painful to leave her for a better future.

in this world we cannot have something to make us really happy,

because we must always sacrifice a piece of our happiness

feeling that  you can never find all pieces of the puzzle.

Careers in mexico aren’t worth as much as the U.S

and your loved ones can’t be here in the U.S

it comes down to the moment when you decide to live a life without happiness

but full of material things or live a life of happiness without many luxuries,

that is the most important stage of my life with the decisions...

It is so painful to leave her for a better future.

in this world we cannot have something to make us really happy,

because we must always sacrifice a piece of our happiness

feeling that  you can never find all pieces of the puzzle.

and your loved ones can’t be here in the U.S

it comes down to the moment when you decide to live a life without happiness

but full of material things or live a life of happiness without many luxuries,

that is the most important stage of my life with the decisions...
