We’re honored, Carmen that you chose to share such powerful work on Per.spec.tive:
CAN YOU SEE ME??
A girl gets in the car,
Her mother just picked her up from Juvenile.
No hugs, no kisses, no talking.
Silence fills the car.
The girl gently turns on the radio,
Wanting to get attention.
She ran away from home, trying to escape her fears, not wanting to face the facts,
She was going to jail.
People told her how to act,
She wanted to be herself, do what she wanted.
So she ran, the ride home is quiet.
She asks her mom, “Can you see me, suffering,
Crying for help, Mom, can you see me?”

Wow–sad, yet expressed poignantly. It seems you are able to express yourself through words–I hope beyond hope that this helps you manage your feelings. Keep writing–a writer with your courage and passion will make it far! ‘Oh the places you’ll go!’…
