isn't there
I grew up
Mexican and having to prove it.
I took my mother’s maiden name,
And had to explain why
To kids with fathers.
And I never lost my mother,
She just isn’t there anymore.
Because I learned to walk on water
Like Jesus:
Propped up on what is spineless.
I know suicide means something
Because we only break
When we have become
Strong enough.
