For how long
Will I keep screaming without being heard?
For how many years will I sing my song
Before it turns their heads?
When will I get the prestige
Of all brave things I've done?
In this poetry, when will I break my invisible siege?
When will my visibility shine bright like the sun?
When will my deserted voice reach the city?
When will I get the potential I'm looking for?
When will my image change from dirty?
Is it until I'm thirty-four?
When will life recognize my story?
When will my roar stop being a whisper?
When will I reach my wanted glory?
When will I get my joy forever?
When will life stop abandoning my voice?
When will my poems see love and stop being alone?
When will life choose me as an irresistible choice?
In this game of poetry, when will I win?
