"Self-Care": A Spoken Word #WorthyVideo Post
Hey, amigis! I hope everyone is doing well. In case you didn't know, I have been doing my Spoken Word #WorthyVideo series where I'm sharing one poem from each section of my poetry collection.

You creep upon me when I least expect you. You poison my mind and drive me to places unknown. To places deep and dark. O Fear, why do you kill my hope, my joy, my future?
