The aching feeling of being deserted 

by one through distance and displacement  

Belonging to two is a twoness felt 

deeply. My identity flows within

both and none. Poetry is like 

breathing life into words that have the 

ability to heal and cope and survive

and

overcome. 

Self-actualization 

and freedom is found within it.

Oswego '23

Carla is a Creative Writing major and a Journalism minor at SUNY Oswego. She was born and raised in the Bronx and considers books and tv shows her best friends. From reading books like Percy Jackson and the Maze Runner Trilogy to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and more, her love for writing blossomed from there. She wants to become an author but as she grows older, what she wants to do became blurry like her glasses on a rainy day. So here she is, with a kitten named Minnie and glasses wipers, trying to find her way.
