Nobody Asks You

Life is difficult for all of us. It has many plot twists and turns. It offers plenty of surprises and upheavals. I know how that feels. I was a Bosnian refugee and immigrant. I had an extremely mentally abusive father who blamed me for everything. I was ferociously bullied in school. The only person I could rely on was my Mom. As a result of these traumatic experiences, I became extremely ambitious, driven, analytical, and observant. I notice every single detail. Sometimes I notice things that most people don't see or can't connect. That is a powerful yet painful skill. "Nobody Asks You" is a poetry book that describes things that people go through in life ands how they deal with problems. It is partly autobiographical. May it inspire you to be loud and public about discrimination and to never back down, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles that promise to offer defeat.
