Lady Valencia . . . Bared

By Sonia Valencia Singh

PrefaceI sat for many nights, wondering how to word the preface for this book. There were many starts, many of them discarded because none of them said what I wanted. So here goes... I started writing poetry as a teen. I did create an anthology, but eventually left it in Jamaica when I migrated to the USA. For many years I felt as if I was enclosed and empty. Feeling like I was in a little box...afraid to venture...not knowing how to be me. There were so many things that I felt capable of and wanted to do, but was just not ready. Well, finally in early 2008, I was... free. Being free was so... freaking free. It was great. It was awesome. It was... freedom at last... And I took wings like a phoenix, continually rising and soaring to new adventures, new territories, no longer afraid to be me...I wrote these during the last five years. In which time I also wrote a book, took care of my kids and still worked the nine to five grind. The only thing that was missing from my life was the ever so elusive...love; which I eventually found. But... that's another book. Sonia Valencia Singh
