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.
Let's be honest. Some words are better left unsaid, these..these are my words that shouldn't have been said. Some of these I know are not perfect, but they are mine. My thoughts and pain I have been though, I will not apologize for speaking my truth. And I advise you don't either, it's what makes us who we are.
