Por que me miras asi!?
Para quitarme la calma?!
Por que cada vez que me miras mi corazon salta.
Y te vuelvo a recordar,
Aunque se que me hace mal.
Con tan solo una mirada,
Despues de cien negadas,
Has vuelto hacer que mi corazon lata por ti.
Y eso me enoja.
Por que se que tu no sientes lo mismo por mi.

Que Facil Es Escribirte (spanish poetry)
En un poquito de tiempo,
Te podria escribir cien poemas.
Tan solo cojiendo mi lapiz,
Y escuchando lo que mi corazon te quiere decir.
Lo que no le permito que te diga.
Y se desahoga en un papel,
escribiendo todo lo que siente,
con la esperanza de que algun dia tu lo puedas leer.
Pero yo no lo permito,
Por que se que es en vano
el decirte:
Cuanto you te amo.
Te podria escribir cien poemas.
Tan solo cojiendo mi lapiz,
Y escuchando lo que mi corazon te quiere decir.
Lo que no le permito que te diga.
Y se desahoga en un papel,
escribiendo todo lo que siente,
con la esperanza de que algun dia tu lo puedas leer.
Pero yo no lo permito,
Por que se que es en vano
el decirte:
Cuanto you te amo.
Spanish Poetry.
Me ve y sonrie,
Y se que por mi el vive.
Y en su risa encuentro paz,
Y muchas cosas mas.
Si el supiera que el es mi cura,
y mi unica esperanza.
Si el supiera que mi corazon en el descansa.
Aguanta un poco mas,
Y ya veras,
Que hasta el din de mis dias te voy a amar.
Y se que por mi el vive.
Y en su risa encuentro paz,
Y muchas cosas mas.
Si el supiera que el es mi cura,
y mi unica esperanza.
Si el supiera que mi corazon en el descansa.
Aguanta un poco mas,
Y ya veras,
Que hasta el din de mis dias te voy a amar.

We All Need To Evolve / First Place in an essay contest in Miami Dade :)
Living in Florida, it is easy to find people with stories of how they came to the United States of America empty handed and worked their way up by getting an education. I, like many of those people, migrated to this Country with those same empty hands, but my story is different. When I arrived to the USA, I was devastated. I was ten years old when my mother snatched me from the life I had in my own country, Spain. I was forced to leave everything that mattered to me; my family, my friends, Zar, my dog. Consequently, when I arrived here, I was not about to evolve as a person or let go of my little mindedness anytime soon. I spent most of my time cutting class, abusing the use of alcohol, and blaming everyone for my failures. Instead of moving foward, I was walking backwards.
Because I was cutting class so much, my mother became disappointed. She expected me to take advantage of the chance she did not get when she was a young lady. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jimenez, did not give her the opportunity to go to school because they were very poor. Her biggest dream was that I could go to college so that I may have a better life style; but I did not see it that way at that moment. I was blind by sadness.
As I grew up and became a teenager, instead of grabbing books, I was grabbing bad habits. Looking for myself, I started abusing the use of alcohol. One glass of vodka turned into two, and two turned into three until I lost myself in the dark world of alcohol and drugs. The last thing in my mind was school. Little did I know of the surprise that the future had for me.
Meanwhile, I became a bitter person. I was lost; I did not know who I was anymore or why I was placed in this earth. I was bored of life and blamed everyone for my mistakes. Until one hot sunny afternoon, I decided to go to the beach and let the powerful sound of the waves take my stress away to the bottom of the ocean. I laid down on the sand and as the rays of the sun forced my eyes to be closed, it suddenly hit me; the light bull in my head turned on. "If there is something that can take me out of this misery is knowledge," I thought to myself.
I walked home that day pleased of my discovery. The next day, I registered in Miami Dade Community College. Three years have passed since then, and I'm a different person now. I was right; knowledge was my salvation! As I let go of my little mindedness, I realize that the world is a beautiful and extremely interesting place. There are so many things to learn and so little time to waste, that my only regret is not to have registered sooner.
