Notes
Façade
Inspiration taken from a quote found on Pinterest (author unknown), cited in the first stanza of the poem.
Subway Girl
In 2019, I went on vacation in Virginia. One of the cities I visited was Washington D.C., where I took the subway a few times. This poem recalls a brief interaction I had one time at the subway. A stranger's hair was so captivating to me that I had to compliment it. A few kind words go a long way.
drifting
Wrote this as I was falling asleep one night. It's exactly as you might think: a poem about falling asleep. I wrote what I was feeling as I was fading out of consciousness. However, it is welcome to personal interpretation.
Not a Perfect Daughter
Teenage rant. This note pertains to the overwhelming pressure of a mother expecting her daughter to be like her. Sometimes the expectations put upon us by our parents are a reflection of the ones their parents had for them, too. Be the one that breaks the cycle.
Isla Querida
As a bicultural individual with dual citizenship, it is easy to feel homesick for my mother's homeland. The last time I was able to visit Las Palmas was almost ten years ago. I miss it every day.
