I don't even recall what year I wrote this but it has been a while cuz I actually posted it on my FB account when I had access to it so many years ago. I don't even recall my password to login..lol, but I used a pseudonym of Jessie Echevarria cuz I didn't want to be known on there..but time is passing and I can see it on my skin and face..but I still have one more poem. I just randomly chose a year but it has been a long time ago.
