I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I have lived all over the US since my dad was in the Army and now reside in the border city of El Paso, Texas. Although I do not have a long time writing poetry, I really love it and hope to grow as much as I can as a poet. I am currently studying English at El Paso Community College. I also aspire to have my work published. Most of the stuff I write is on the political spectrum.
Between these walls lie hope
Countless nights spent studying for English exams
Hoping to gather enough knowledge to pass
Flipping through...
I close my eyes
And call out your name
“Jesus!”
And there I am
Lost in blur
A dark abyss of nothingness
Everything around me is oblivious...
Between these walls lie hope
A special place
Hope of one day achieving a dream
Perhaps a piece of paper with your name on it
Stating that...
When the ships starts to tremble amid the threatening waves of the ocean
As the sky turns into giant puffs of blackness
Hold on
Hold on...
Materialism
A word descriptive of our current society
A generation that's become submissive to this culture.
Numb to everyone else's...
