Projection

Greetings everyone,

How are you all doing? I hope you are having a Merry Christmas, because by God’s grace I am. Now I wanted to share my poetry to all of you, because I feel like I owe it to all of you to get to know me a little better. I am going to open my sharing of my poetry to you with a poem I’ve made nearly a year ago. It is the first poem I published in this blog at the time I decided to make the contents of this blog about my poetry. This poem is the closest to my heart because it sums up everything that I am, and I’d like to think of it as my coming of age poem. So here it goes:

Projection

I built up walls around me

Made of bricks

And it cannot be easily penetrated

By anyone

Sometimes when I feel better

About myself

I took some bricks out to let

People see

What is really hidden in the

Insides of me

I hope you enjoyed reading this poem as much as I enjoyed writing it. It is literally Christmas, so Merry Christmas to all of you.

Love,

Niña Liza
