Veronica Ortiz

Me in my teens trying to live alone,
Trying to survive alone,
Thinking I could get everybody out of my way,
That I could do it alone.
I lived in this room through good and bad times.
The good ones came when I got to meet good people.
The bad ones came when I had to meet bad people.
I learned from all these people,
I fed myself,
I Isolated myself, as if I were imprisoned.
