My name is Edelia Morales Martinez, most know me by Dede. My first poem I ever wrote was in August of 1986 when I was just 16 years old, my beloved sister Molly had just been killed. I have been writing on and off ever since then. These are just a few things that happen to a lot of people every day of our lives. We just don't always talk about them. Like: birth, friends, love, and of course death. There are also things like anger and the one no one likes to talk about, cries for HELP. Simple me, with words to be heard and let people know they are not alone. Other people feel the same but we are too sad to say out loud. A few of my titles are: Any one there? , Butterfly Release, Silent Cries, Sisters, Enemies, and My Beloved Molly.
