Estela: Poem

Other
2019
My sister, brother and I, like many other friends and family around us, made the decision to leave Venezuela. We all migrated to different countries, and our parents stayed back home. Any expectations we had about our future, clear or not, were immediately replaced with an uncertainty that has stayed constant to this day, as we each deal with the unpredictability of our migration status, financial stability and mental health. I made these poems to reflect the passage into that relentless unpredictability, and the ebb and flow of our certainty in regards to our individual or shared futures.
