Mi Tesoro: A Poetic Reflection

Mi Tesoro Maya Simone

These ears will listen when you need to be heard, A refuge where your voice is free as a bird. From judgment, you’ll be freed, Before you even speak—indeed.

Estos ojos te ven como un todo, You hold more power than you know, mi tesoro. Do not let the dark space of your mind Dictate where you should go or how you spend time.

You must hurt—the heart must break, To mend, to learn, to rise awake. And when all is done, remember this— Trust, Nothing will ever be the same, But neither will you remain.
