make opportunities for my life to shine.

...it is strange to me that a color means something
by itself, it elicits memories and experiences
orange is my go-to color, not blue or pink
yet did they dress me in orange when I was a baby?

Angelica
...I didn't get to know her, not even her name.
She asked for money, and I only had a quarter.
She was a young lady with eyes of hunger
whose face was hidden behind what
seemed to be weeks of dirt.

Failure first
Makes you humble.
The deeper the sting,
The greater the revelation.
Release the need
To assign someone blame.
Accept it as your own
To expunge your searing shame.
