    About this ebook

    My name is Katherine Alcaire. I'm an afro latina born and raised in america with bi-lingual family members. I'm bisexual, still a teenager, and female. Everyone has known pain in their life and poetry is one of the only ways I've ever learned to make pain beautiful. These are all the words I could never find the courage to say.
