Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks

poems. whatever mood you're in. they're here. that's am you need to know. enjoy. THE POEMS GET BETTER AS IT GETS INTO THE BOOK I PROMISE.

Welcome to the inside of my mind. In a way, this collection of poems will tell my story and while I may not be a knight in shinning armor on a quest to rescue a princess from a tower, I do have a long epic to tell. In a way, these poems are a bildungsroman, or a coming of age story. I delve into many conversations: childhood, innocence, youthfulness, aging, detachment, Chicanx & Latinx identities, etc. There are some political-leaning poems, but for the most part; the collection is very vulnerable and honest. Anyways, this is me; keep me company on my hero's journey. All are welcome.

my life, told through a series of poems, a cautionary tale with a happy ending
