My name is Awilda Aponte. I draw a little, play a little guitar and write a lot of poetry. This site is for all of us poets, who are waiting for the world to realize our talents. And until then, let's give each other hope, inspiration and our creative poetry.
"Alyssa"-a flower...
I used to hate my name.
Then I learned to use what I was given.
And I blossomed.
I wished to be the same.
Then I realized I could be who I was.
And I flowered.
I thought that I could tell.
Then I noticed I didn't know who I was.
And I reached for the sun.
I tried to find myself.
Then I saw at last that I was there all along.
And I wilted.
