Let It Go, Ms. Curves: A Poetry Collection

By Bianca L. Patterson

I heard someone once say that we are a generation of excuses. There is some truth in that I cannot deny. If you ask me, I believe we are a generation of fear, and thats why we make excuses. This collection is to show the progress of letting go of things that hold us back from being individuals. Whether we want to admit it or not, it is fear that keeps us from rising to our potential. We are scared to take a chance and be bold; I have come to learn that it doesnt make a difference whether you are like everyone else or the mix- matched color in the crowd. People are always going to have something to say. If you ask me, I would much rather be talked about for being the odd one than to disappear in a crowd. Plus its much more fun! This collection is made up of snapshots of different situations that may occur and that will have you second-guessing yourself. I want nothing more than for it to be guidance for some young girl or even a boy. Realize that you may fall a couple of times, maybe more than some, but no matter what keep pushing along. Dont give up! Let it go and move forward. Of course it wont be easy, and tomorrow is not promised for another chance, but that doesnt mean you cant think positive. At the end of the day, everyone has the advantage.

Bianca L. Patterson

She was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and at a young age moved to Houston, Texas. She graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, with a bachelor’s of arts degree in journalism, with a minor in creative writing. Just like most young adults, she is experiencing the norms of life: the struggle to stay in school, watching as friends and lovers come and go, and trying to find where she belongs. Although unsure for what’s coming next, she know she is going somewhere that will be worth her while. Get inspired by the small things in the life—the things what we tend to overlook as humans. Life has taught her that the key to finding yourself is easy; just step out of the box that has confined and molded you and watch everything that went wrong go right. Though the past has taken its toll on who she is today, she is looking forward to what the future has on reserve for her.
