I'm a mother, a girlfriend, a tutor of English, a translator, and then, finally, a writer. I've been a writer since I was capable of forming cohesive sentences on paper.
I like to share stories from my life, which has not been an ordinary one for a woman of 28 living in the US, as well as poetry. The stories, I work at. The poetry... it just is. I cannot write a poem on purpose to save my life. The words are there, or they aren't. They usually like to strike after midnight. Sometimes, they take a while for me to understand where they came from, as if I didn't write them myself.
What could I possibly have to share, at my age? I'm a witness to poverty, to domestic violence, to homelessness, to the counterculture, to at risk youth. Why? I've been all of these things, as well as successful.
I'll share what I can here, and read what I can.

Marks, Scars, and Other Wonders ( A Poem)
-----------------------------
If my face bore the marks
So many have left
On my heart and soul
Everyone would grimace
At the sight of me
Perhaps they would gasp and shudder
But they would know
They would know to tread
With tender footsteps
When they walk on me
To err on the side of
Caution when touching
A thing so easily broken
Fragile, worn, as though
It were more than two decades old
If my eyes bore a scar
From each vision I've seen
That my mind did not want to grasp
I would have little left of an eye
With which to see more
But I would Know
I would know that there is as much
Beauty as their is ugliness
In this mixed up heaven/hell world
That there is nothing worse
Than letting people and things
Break you enough
To make you want to remain broken
