Auset Caceres

                                              Resilient


Her body is fighting.

To stay alive

Living in poverty

Has destroyed her life.

Different diseases are taking over her life.

No food in the fridge

With four little kids

A single mother

They don’t know where their father is.

He comes and goes.

Leaves one more kid

Now she’s on to five.

With nowhere to live

Her mother is dead.

Her father is dead.

Her brother is dead.

There’s only one left.

He can help a bit.

But the problem is:

Her

Addiction kicks in.

Alcohol,

You smell it on her skin.

Fighting the demons in her head

After years of struggle,

She goes to college.

Gets her bachelors

A home of her own

With six kids

Still a single mother

Still fighting
