‘Who am I?”
Born as a butterfly
After so many things in my early life
Absorbing so many negative beliefs
Hearing all of these and believing
I realized
I was hidden
In a cocoon
Then, on a very difficult night
CoDA came into my life
Finally a relief
I was in the dark
Dying through the minutes
Through the pain
Through my mind.
Expecting too much
Living too less
Hoping nothing
One speaking voice
And I found myself petrified
Hearing my life
Through other lives
I could shout at that moment
But I didn´t
So I heard all my life
In pieces, in each voice
As a puzzle
Feeling belonging
It made me feel stronger
it made me choose the steps
I stopped running
Running my mind, my body
My soul
And start to walk
Step by Step
And here I am
A butterfly again
