THE MYSTERY IN ME.......

The mystery in me,
You haven't yet figured it out.
I'm as difficult to figure out as a foreign equation.
When you meet me you'll stick by me like static electricity.
But there are certain things inside me, that in a way, define me.
The leader in me covers up the weak in me.
The follower in me covers up the control freak in me.
The boriqua in me creates the heritage in me.
The Jennifer in me creates the Jesse in me
and the Jesse in me creates the Salas in me.

The God i serve creates the
Life in me,
The love in me,
The faith in me,
The trust in me,
The air i breathe,
In and out of me, faithfully, and constantly.
You see, i'm like a soldier in God's army.
There's also the jerk in me.
The singer in me.
The writer in me.
The poet in me.
The sanctified troublemaker in me.
The hater in me.
The hated in me.
The nerd in me.
The paranoia in me.
The melodramatic in me.
The New York City sky scrapers in me.
The the subway stations in me.
The sound of Hector Lavoe in me.
A little bit of east river in me.
The sound of street performers in me.
The 7:00 am rush hour in me.
The taste of juniors cheescake in Times Square in me.
The encourager in me.
The music in me.
The pop, rock, soul, and opera in me.
The R&B, hip-hop, Gospel in me.
Did you know that there's an artist in me??
A voice in me.
A light in me
That will shine bright eventually.
I'm like Monet taking the roll of Vango.
I'm the start of a new generation filled with Picasso's and Da Vinci's.
I blend in like camouflage, but i stand out of the stereo-typical Puerto Rican.
But there's still that little bit of punk in me.
That little bit of junk in me that i lock away.
That little bit of soul in me.
That little piece of heaven in me.
These things define and create whats inside of me.
And even still ya don't know the mystery in me.
