Inhaltsangabe

Intimate and sometimes shocking, EXPOSED is a compilation of poetry from the rising generation, exploring themes such as heartbreak, friendship, rebellion, self-esteem, loneliness, family, and more. Sixteen authors between 18 and 24 years old have left their voice on the page for you to hear. At an age when deep emotion is often buried, these authors have used this book as a creative space to be real, genuine, and exposed.

Chapter One

Amir Lewis

Age:

20 years old

Location:

Los Angeles, California

3 Words I Embody:

Fly, Anti-Haters, Focused

My Life Vision:

I see myself later on in life, providing opportunities for urban youth through my own successes.

This Sycamore Won't Budge This sycamore won't budge Winds blow as hard as the collapse of towers Tragedy Strikes louder than thunder Whether Or not those trees move does not matter This sycamore won't budge How could I stand above a million feet And wonder the dangers of defeat As the soil beneath me moistens Still This sycamore won't budge Chop my branches Steal all the dirt to garden many plants Keep my water enough to fill ten pools Still This sycamore won't budge In the forest of eternity I stand very firmly Their mistakes do not concern me Why so much hatred towards me? How long will this forest stay green Only time will tell but still This sycamore won't budge Just Leave Just leave Please Just leave Emotions wrinkle your sleeve I put on your shirt ... Missing a button So I wear the hurt As if it were mine As love pushed in decline I am no longer your angel My halo without batteries Shoes now red I walk faster I walk I walk further I walk curiously I walk away ... The scale tippin' Off the brink of forever Flushing itself into the depths Of never ... Love's home destroyed Neighbors moved away Now its time I pay Please Just leave ...

Escape Beneath my own worst visions Above their expectations Furious with my own good decisions Women Now figments of a fairy tale Told through the voice of lies Deception greed and selfishness North of present Is of most relevance Not a gift to anyone or anything Just here Bitter is too vague for description Sweet would be of too much reception Escape seems near Seems as if I'm nearin' the end Want to start over but I can't start till I end Thoughts just breeze with the wind Now I need home in mind to win I will win!

Christian Le Salazar

23 years old

Location:

Salt Lake City, Utah

3 Words I Embody:

Believer, Transparent, Cheesy

My Life Vision:

To let Jesus be who He so yearns to be in my life, thereby letting others see the unconditional liberation He can bring, in every way, to their own lives.

I am but dust Christian Le Salazar ... I am but dust. I am woman, I am simple & I am hardly any makeup. I am life-true & exquisite. Beauty-amazing & authentic. I am ashes, I am broken & I am gold. I am above & not below. I am now-a moment, eternity. I am rare, Treasure, and yes, even heaven. I am life, I am delicate, & I am strong and able. I am then-from before-from the past. I am desire & desired by Him, - a rushing song inside His heart. I am love, faith, & I am hope. I am victor. Alive- new &- growing evermore. I am captivating. Hidden. A mystery-feminine. I am free a fire illuminating a prayer rising a hiding whisper a tearful heart a timeless journey I AM- You are immortal- and in this moment, I am mortal. I am, The fragile grains being held by One palm, The poor offering from an empty hand, The created, voyaging her Creator. I am not lost. I am not fear. I...
