There were always in me, two women at least,
one woman desperate and bewildered,
who felt she was drowning and another who
would leap into a scene, as upon a stage,
conceal her true emotions because they
were weaknesses, helplessness, despair,
and present to the world only a smile,
an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.

Siempre hubo en mí, al menos, dos mujeres
una mujer desesperada y perpleja
que siente que se está ahogando y otra que
salta a la acción, como si fuera un escenario,
disimulando sus verdaderas emociones porque ellas
son la debilidad, la impotencia, la desesperación
y presenta al mundo sólo una sonrisa,
impetu, curiosidad, entusiasmo, interés.
