First of creation
“According to him [Plato], at the beginning of creation, men and women were not as they are now; there was just one being, who was rather short, with a body and a neck, but his head had two faces, looking in different directions. It was as if two creatures had been glued back to back, with two sets of sex organs, four legs and four arms.
“The Greek gods, however, were jealous, because this creature with four arms work harder; with its two faces, it was always vigilant and could not be taken by surprise; and its four legs meant that it could stand or walk for long periods at a time without tiring. Even more dangerous was the fact that the creature had two different sets of sex organs and so needed no one else in order to continue reproducing.
“Zeus, the supreme lord of Olympus, said: ‘I have a plan to make these mortals lose some of their strength.’
“And he cut the creature in two with a lightning bolt, thus creating man and woman. This greatly increased the population of the world, and, at the same time, disoriented and weakened its inhabitants, because now they had to search for their lost half and embrace it and, in that embrace, regain their former strength, their ability to avoid betrayal and the stamina to walk for long periods of time and to withstand hard work. That embrace in which the two bodies re-fuse to become one again is what we call sex.”

One Obligation.
A poem called One Obligation:
"Along the way of duties and responsibilities,
We lost a side of living.
What reality demands,
We shall attribute.
We crumble upon its requests,
Therefore we are confined within the walls it bestowed around us.
Harsh and cruel,
Yet,
An obligation was made for us,
Demanding that we live our lives surrounded by rules and social status.
We are fond of what people think,
Deluding ourselves into opinions contracted from jealousy and hypocrisy.
.
.
.
Enough...
Enough...
No more manipulating.
No more of your useless comments.
No more of your jealousy and hypocrisy.
I have one and only one obligation,
And it's toward myself.
Mi vida es mía.
I...I say enough."M.A.H

A coincidence
M.A.HAs calm as the night sky,
As deep as the ocean floor,
As shy as an innocent kid's soul,
As brief as watching your favorite show,
But as reoccurring as life itself,
The strange sensation that followed,
Could not be described,
And as weird as it seems,
We glanced more than once,
And then we both went our separate ways.

And then we both went our separate ways.

Struggling
Do we ever stop? Or take a rest?
What happens when we slack off?
Should we consider ourselves within the norm?
Or are we the ones who are meant to ramble the spectrum?
We are not alone in this deed,
But we are the ones who have chosen to proceed,
What happens when we feel stuck?
What happens when we do not know what is next?
For us the future is not set,
For every day is a struggle,
Trying to find a meaning,
Trying to make a change,
Feeling down when we fail,
But never giving up,
Cause it is not about us anymore,
What we want to achieve grows bigger than our needs,
Exceeds to affect worlds,
For what we consider simple for us,
Could mean a whole for others.
