    Karla, I adore this! While I may not consider it poetry as much as a unique biography - it's quite intriguing and hard not to appreciate. In fact, in seems such a good exercise in self-examination I want to write one myself ;) At first glance it seems almost surface-level and fun, but it's much more than that.

    I love that in your "Personal Experiences" section you started off with a reserved, hidden nature - expanding as time goes on; more guts and knowledge of oneself and the world, even when it hurt. The latest "personal experience" I thought was especially well put as a cap on the journey thus far. Beautiful images and word choice in that section; you managed to describe and sum up a girl's (continuous) journey into finding herself with imaginative quips that really don't leave anything to desire.

    Other favorite bits:
    " .. English to cure the past."
    "I work with my eyes closed and my heart in my mouth."

    Beautiful! So much depth in here. This is an instant vote, everyone ought to read this. :)

    Karla, you never cease to amaze me. I find it extremely hard to comment on your poems after reading them, because I always think I should re-read them at a later date and comment. But, I can't seem to leave/think of a proper comment.
    Beautiful, as always. Keep writing. I love your work
