My father was
the first to
show me
that real men
cry.

My father is
my father
and at times
also a mother
because
she was locked
herself away
like a tea cup
in cupboard

and love
love is his
superpower
and for that
he was
he is
and will always
be my superman
constantly surviving

He never really
strayed
from his plan
happiness

La vida es sencilla
life is simple
he tells me
to this day.
You’re only wasting
your time
worrying
away
none of your problems
are here to stay.

I was born on Father’s Day,
fate sealing our bond
strength
is his legacy
that I’ll always carry on

I am my father’s daughter
revolutionary
rebel attitude
how many people
get kicked out of seminary school?

He showed me
that weird is cool
He sees me
as my truth
encouraging
believing
in all my dreams
I pursue.
