Feel so flushed also displaced,
loose control of my own space,
slowly shift, balance my weight.
hear all emotions debate.
My face falls fast on the ground,
nervously I look around,
can not help but to stare down,
anxious smile becomes a frown.
So embarrassed, forced to see,
what your mind must think of me,
look at you to quickly find,
all the doubts I hold inside.
The floor transforms to quicksand,
suddenly notice your hand,
showing me you understand,
ease my tremble, love expands.
Sweat beads swiftly spread throughout,
water moistens my dry mouth.
Inner strength appears to sprout,
confidence chases all doubts.
Stable forces grasp my feet,
with no room left for defeat.
Stand so solid on concrete,
self assured, whole and complete.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

Grace, Grace, Grace… Your thoughts are so deep for such a young lady. I think you are an old soul with deep reflections on life. Family name “Estevez ? Habla espanol Grace ? Yo hablo espanol pero yo hablo poquito espanol para cinco anyos. Yo vivo in California mucho anyos, pero ahora yo vivo in Polynesie Francaise.
Yo trabajo con much Latinos y Latinas para mucho anyos. Sensitive people like yourself are sometimes in depression. I speak from experience. Strive to be happy. The whole world and your future is in front of you. Your talent of writing and poetry can take you anywhere. Run at the future.
Your future looks quite bright to me. Don’t worry, Be happy Grace. You deserve it.

Thanks so much, Marcos. Truly appreciate your kindness and encouragement. I am pretty happy with my life.
