There are so many things left unsaid
I wish I could take a moment to
Stop and understand myself
Must keep going
Don’t skip a beat
A new dawn indicates a new beginning
A way to start over
And not think about the past
In the flurry that is my life
I have forgotten myself
A way to hide behind the masks
A way to block out my heart
It sings to me at night
When all is left is the truth of darkness
This pain eats away at me
I don’t understand it
I don’t know how to live with it
It’s easier to just ignore it.

Who I Am & My Beliefs
- Risa del Mar
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- I’m a 30ish year old Latina born and raised in Los Angeles. I consider myself bi-cultural because I have my roots firmly planted in my Mexican heritage and yet I love my American lifestyle and the opportunities it has given me. My two vices are music and coffee. The way I see it if those are my only two vices then I am in pretty good shape as far as life is concerned. To me my friends are my family that I created for myself. I'm authentic, honest, funny, sarcastic, opinionated, intelligent, artsy & fun. I'm told I have a contagious laugh & a beautiful smile. I'm spiritual not religious. I have a great respect for people & their lives. I have an unending thirst for knowledge. I love to read. I love languages. I love learning & experiencing different cultures. I love to travel! I'm close to the family I was born into & I find that the older I get the more I understand them and how different we are.
