la primera vez / the first time

La primera vez que escribi poesia
Se lo presente a mi padre
El se echo a reir y me dijo
Apoco estas enamorada?
Solo los enamorados escriben esto.
Una niña de 10años lloro esa noche.
Humillada.

Pero era cierto. Ya que lo miro.
Eso de estar enamorada
Por que me enamore de palabras
escritas
Ojala que alguien lea esto
y se enamora el o ella misma.

English translation:

The first time I wrote poetry
I presented it to my father
He laughed and said to me
“must you be in love?
only those in love write this—”
A 10yr old girl cried that night,
Humiliated.

But it was true. Now that I look at it.
That of being in love.
Because I fell in love with written words
Hopefully someone reads this
And falls in love as well.
