I wrote this poem as a gesture of sisterhood in a number of ways: an ode to the changing population in my community from predominately black to predominately latino and to my sisters, who are half mexican.
Depicts my everyday battle with temptation...
Please darling, stop.
March 21, 2004- I wrote this the day I had my interview for work in an NGO, I guess I was getting HIGH on LIFE. c",) ~jerlin
Lately I've come to realize that once you learn to love yourself again everything seems right. This poem is about falling love with who you are again.
