1 for Maria Perez

i know myself

as i know who you are

for we both count misfortunes

as blessings

We swim in our tears

bathe under the rainfall of salt

to cleanse our soul

We grind in our angst

crush them like stones

upon our bleeding palms

And revel with vanity and pride

@ small victories

from somewhat, invisible wars...

We parade our battle scars

i know myself

as i know who you are

for we both exist

on a pen and paper world...
