All I Ask / Todo lo que Pido




All
I
Ask
Is to be embraced
As
I
Am
Accepted 


Few things
Are more valuable
Than someone
Who listens
Who loves the bravery
You show
When sharing words
You fear to speak
Hearing the love
In every syllable
Understanding
Encouraging
Sowing seeds of strength.


But instead
Hearts clotted
Cluttered
Choked
By the pollution
Of presumptions
Of prejudice
Of pride
Of course I stay silent
Often wearing the mask
Of contentment
Offering myself safely to avoid
Offense.


All
I
Ask
Is to unmask
And
Be
Seen
Hidden
Nevermore.





Todo 
Yo
Pregunte
Se debe abrazar
Como
Yo
Son
Aceptado

Pocas cosas
Son más valiosos
Que alguien
Quien escucha
Quien ama la valentía
Muestra
Compartiendo palabras
Teme hablar
La audiencia del amor
En cada sílaba
Entendimiento Animar
La siembra de semillas de fuerza.

Pero en cambio
Los corazones coagularon
Desordenado
Atascado
Por la contaminación
De presunciones
De prejuicio
De orgullo
Por supuesto me quedo silencioso
A menudo llevando la máscara
De alegría
El ofrecimiento de mí sin peligro para evitar
Ofensa.

Todo
Yo
Pregunte
Debe desenmascarar
Y
Esté 
Visto
Escondido
Nunca más.

    1. No, my artistic ability is sorely lacking.

      Acceptance is as elusive as Ahab's white whale for me.
