The Attack

by Rebekah Rivera-Torres • January 18, 2020

Fragmented heart
Fractured mind
Faults down to the soul’s last line
Snapped
Secretive
Self beating out of time
Choking
Crushing
Calamities stretching seconds into eons
Dissolving
Disintegrating
Dying to try and take one more step
Forward

I've always been fascinated with words. As a Boricua and a descendant of peoples with a strong oral tradition, I suppose it was only natural that I fell into writing. My poetry is inspired by whatever strikes me, and my stories are all fantasy.
