If the words are memories of love, then I write to awaken the love within me. Poetry is the tender embrace on the other side, a kindness preserved in the eyes of a lover. And if it is not the poet who translates the silences, and if poetry is a collection of endless possibilities, then who am I?

I am a woman who resides in every line I write, even if they never find me, they reveal the essence of my being through each word. Even if I cannot be fully unveiled in each verse, I exist in a kingdom of my own understanding, where I can confess what I know, even if it eludes me in what remains: the infinite.

Poetry dwells beyond the eyes, and it truly touches us when we realize that we are merely the reflection of its letters. Each line carries a fragment of my soul, a piece of my essence that I offer to the world. I am the poet and the poem, the words and the silence, the love, and the longing.

In every verse, I find myself, and in every stanza, I lose and rediscover myself. I am the woman who lives within the lines, and through my poetry, I am unveiled, layer by layer, until I am laid bare in the beauty of my own truth. For poetry is not just a collection of words, but a mirror that reflects the depths of my soul.
