by Iveliana Diaz (Author)
"Me vs. You (but mostly me)", is an ode to those that are battling with the need to compare their life with others. Throughout the course of my life, I wrote this collection of poems, starting at the age of 14 and still going in my mid-30s. "Me vs. You (but mostly me)", expresses various stages of my life and how I was able to overcome my struggles with self-esteem and anxiety, ultimately leading to recognizing my self-worth.
At an early age, I was surrounded by poetry and music. My father would write poems and songs about my mother and I, which influenced me to start writing. I kept a journal of poems to express my thoughts. The collection of poems would show my evolution and what I hoped to aspire to in life. Throughout the course of everyone's lives, we tend to compare ourselves and our upbringings to others, which hinders our growth. Ultimately, the only person we should be in competition with is our past selves in hopes of bettering our lives. With this book, I hope to share with you my continued love of poetry, rooted in me by my favorite person, my father.
