Roxana Amed

You were born different
with these bones of your own
different ghosts pleading
for a different song and a different home.

We were born different
skin unread, cursed or charmed
different truth whispering
from a different God and a different heart.

Different is free from the past
different is the flag of the brave
different is one and alone
like the thrill of a star.

Diferente naciste
de ese vientre infernal
sangre huérfana y libre
de las sangres malditas o santas que traes.

Vinimos diferentes
engañosa igualdad
ni siquiera en la muerte
caeremos igual.

Diferentes puertas que abrir
diferentes pies para andar
diferente cuna al nacer
diferente la tumba también.
