Best Poems Written by Andrea Barajas

Slowly Now, Its Time

I always thought I was a good person.
Thought I was thought-full.

Empathetic but just.
Kind but careful.

But you showed me the monster,
That hears screams but wears blinders.

Where pragmatism grinds against the degradation of a dream.
And where time lost creates a river too wide to cross.

I live here now with her, with me.
And bury a fire slowly with coals and sand.
