My friends and mentors begging me to rest,

They keep talking about something called burnout.

Can you give it a rest?

My brothers asking me to ground myself,

Mami ‘ta diciéndome,

“Mija, ponte las pilas.”

Papi diciéndome,

“In sori, mi amor, así es la vida.”

These stupid-ass men asking me to prioritize them,

Stop playing on my phone,

Because I’m getting offended.

I just miss my abuelitas,

Nobody gets me like them. 👵🏼💕
