Imagine being 22 and having everything to look forward to.........then imagine NOTHING! Imagine being found in a dumpster like some unwanted garbage. Imagine the pain that those left behind must endure for ever. IMAGINE!
wow this is such a eloquent and insightful essay ! You pose very powerful questions about the whole humanity that I believe we should all think about. I love all the literary references and I love your writing style. I read all your other publishings and I was simply blown away. In all of them you present very deep and astute thesis. Thank you for these !
I just wanted to say, thanks for writing this. I found your words to be very evocative and I felt like I could get a sense of the individual person behind the words. In particular, the image of it being like a party where everyone is loud, you're never having fun, and the party guests never leave made me smile—it was a humorous way to describe it, and also painful, because you said "imagine" and I was like, "Yes, I can imagine that, and it sounds awful!" As someone who has never been incarcerated, but who really likes quiet and privacy, your words really hit home to me as I imagined how the lack of privacy, peace, and quiet would affect me.
It sounds like it would be challenging to anyone to find mental space to think one's own thoughts in your environment. I hope for you that you are able to find moments of peace and tranquility despite your surroundings. I believe that moments of quiet and reflection are so important to all of us, to allow us to grow and be in possession of ourselves, regardless of our circumstances. I wish the best for you!
I transcribed your poetry “Survive” on “between the bars” website. I had already transcribed a poetry of yours entitled “Sonrie” a few months back. In fact I read your thank you message, you are welcome, it is a pleasure for me to transcribe and comment poetries. I am Italian and live in Italy and like poetries.
The poetry “Survive” was sad but I appreciated how you can express your sadness with appropriated comparisons. It was excellent the second verse of your poetry, where you smartly mix two languages (English and Spanish): “My heart has become empty like the stomach of a nino de las calles”.
I imagine how difficult it is to live in a cold cell “when the lights are dead”.
It is a good poetry. Well done!
I am sorry if my English is not perfect, as you know it is difficult for an Italian to speak English properly.
I will try to transcribe and comment other poetries of yours.

Thank you for these !
"I am light
but one that's unwelcome"
I thought these two lines were especially powerful.
Also, you have really beautiful handwriting. Is that something you have practiced, or have you just always had nice handwriting?
Best wishes,

It's been a while hearing from you. Did you get my letter on your blog here?
I didn't get a response though. So,I wondered?
Tell me how you are doing? What are you busy with?
I will write more as soon I hear you.
