She Could Be You

She Could Be You
By: Margaret Joeline Brinson


We all have feelings that we may or may not take time to assess. These poems were written to express and convey these feelings. Even though actions speak louder than words; words help us face the challenges we are dealing with in our lives: time, racism, inequality, injustice, independence, as well as peace, love, and mortality.
