I Am Here and You Are Here with Me, by Kimberly B. Rosa

Prose, chapbook, 20 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

This chapbook is about being in the present moment. It talks about what this character sees in their surroundings, what they are feeling, who they interact with and what's going on in their mind. Kimberly invites the reader to be with this character while they are experiencing these moments in life and the things they do in order to escape their reality. I remember when I stopped picking up your phone calls. I became the version of myself I didn’t want to become. Sad, unattractive, and unbothered.

This character shows signs of depression and isn’t afraid to express it. The characters stays true to itself being honest with the reader on what’s happening what their ambitions are and how to move forward in this lifetime.
