I am the girl wearing the green scarf. I hide behind a disguise due to my insecurities. It acts as my protective layer. To be wrapped in warmth to hide my scars. An introvert who is shy. People tend to underestimate me. One who has a big heart, with hope so bright. She does not want to be taking advantage of. I root for peace day and night. Family has a special place. In my heart, where love and loyalty pace.
I am a creative soul with art and design. A love for music with a beat so fine. Gaming is my escape with tech at my fingertips. And humor is my guide through life’s twists and trips.
With a spirit strong, and a heart so true I am a unique gem shining bright, and made for more too. In Alexandria where I reside, my light shines bright and my heart abides.

I Was A Little Girl
Attitude is everything. You need to have the right attitude in life. Just hold on tight cus that means we gotta put up a fight. I believe in you and you believe in me. Shining brighter than the stars on a summer night. My personal attitude is to have joy in life and have no regrets. If I could go back, I wouldn’t change a thing. I think back to when I was sixteen. Dad gave a girl everything it is. I believe that joy is what we see beyond these clouds with your painter night sky falls. With every heartbeat, let happiness be our creed. I can remember the times I felt like this when we were so innocent but at least in need being in a world where I was incomplete.

What the Fire, the Body, and the Earth Remember:
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This poem centers on witness and endurance — the emotional steadiness of holding historical truth without spectacle or release. It feels calm but heavy. It is not trying to feel anything. It is trying to hold something relevant through another storm.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
