Dancing skeletons

Rubi Sotelo

I swear with every glass of wine I drink I see skeletons in my glass.
They cry and they laugh,
Make me reminisce my past,
They even swear I’m not over what you did to me.
And I know they live there,
And I know it’s not fair
But I fall under their spell
Every time.

Rubi Sotelo

My name is Rubi, I’ve been writing since I was 13 years old. Writing has been a form of therapy for me while going through traumatic experiences. Most of my poems speak of substance abuse, relationship abuse, thoughts of suicide, and self worth. My darkest moments were when my poetry blossomed. I hope that they are enjoyed with anyone who has ever been hurt before and can relate to the somber music in my heart that I pour into your cup. Cheers!
