The Secret Beautiful
written by: Ximena Escobar
@laximenin
to swim in the centre of wholeness,
wrapped by Being,
hugged by deafness,
to Be
the secret beautiful,
secret wonderful
One day they will find me,
One day I will shoot up to the sky where smiles
aren’t Blades,
I will shine in those eyes,
Moist
Opened
Slapped, by the Treasure
they discover,
Me
My Beauty,
Untamed,
my Mermaid hair Streaming,
Screaming,
I Exist
