Entonces surgió una oportunidad innegable Algo diferente e interesante Música Los nervios se alimentan de posibilidades Las ideas corren Aunque yo solo quiero conversar Bailar... Escribir... Quiero ser plena y sin reparos Sin rompeolas Que me alimenten las neuronas Quizás no quiero nada Mejor no limitarme a las expectativas La única es la vida Vivirla... … Continue reading Vivirla
