Nancy Reyes: Queen In Jeans, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This collection of poems defines and analyzes the deep-rooted and crushing impact of a dysfunctional and traumatic childhood. The aftermath and affects continue and carry into adulthood.

There's a guilt I carry locked up like a prison cell. It's embedded in my soul and keeps me in hate with myself. --excerpt from, SEDIMENT

Believing your past defines you is an imprisonment. Thinking you must address it obstructs you. Questioning your claim to your happiness is exhausting. Trying to decipher the events overtake and overwhelm.

Sometimes, the best I do is breathe as the silence drowns my screams. Periodically, all I can do is stare, searching for the oxygen in the air. --excerpt from, IN THE BEAT OF TIME

When you harness your power of choice, you accept and authorize every step going forward. You choose to get passed the past and find your truth. You discover a new meaning and take your future back.

No matter my trauma... ...uncovered, disguised... it's not for me to carry as I leave the past behind. --excerpt from, PASSED THE PAST

This is a journey to freedom, truth and empowerment.
