The Mask

She wears the mask to hide the pain
She wears this mask not being herself
Hiding the pain inside it burns
What does she do?
She wears the mask

Once she's alone she screams in pain
Once you see her she'll smile again
Do you know that pain?
No you dont
She wears her mask to hide the pain

She has childhood background
She was raised by her mother
Daddy left her 9 years ago, what a looser no?
All she does is wear that mask
Give everyone a smile to hide her pain

People may think she's perfect or judge her actions
But do they know who she is or do they know the mask?
She will never take of that mask'
Never ever will you see tears rolling down'
Never ever will you know who she is
She wears her mask

She's not the person everyone thinks
She's suffering inside
Not letting anyone see
The pain is killing her
She cries everyday
She wears that mask
To hide the pain

Me Myself & I

I am Mexican
& that's my raza
I am from my mother
I am one proud daughter
I'm from a single mother
But that doesn't matter ether way
I am her daughter
I'm from the Mexican pride
Where is all about man kind
Were we die with dignity
I am from the real Mexican Pride

Gone but Never Forgatten

Que onda tio!
I miss you man!
Come back & scream at me if I'm bad
Laugh like a monster like when you were alive
I remember your stinky smell of Tequila when you were drunk
& the smell of that cologne god dayum it smell good
Remember when I use to stare at the tattoos on your arms?
The name of my aunty on your chest?
Tio I miss you
come back man
& lets ride all over Mexico with your daughter and son
My cousins and I want you back
Why did you leave us behind?
I will never judge what you did
I'm never going to judge you come on
Fix your mistakes and come back!

~In the lovely memory of Alberto Luna! I love you tio
