I want you to share in my experience of growing up and being a young woman. These poems explore a variety of emotions, including love, joy, sadness, and perplexity. Find yourself in my tears.
There are poems I’ve been wanting to scrap off from this book
I feel like I have let you see parts of me that I hate looking at
Parts of me I sometimes don’t want to be associated with
Parts of me I don’t want in my legacy
Parts I don’t want my child to know,
The sad thing is, I’m a storyteller and these are not my stories
These are your stories
Find yourself in them
