Black Lace

As a shy, timid black girl on Minneapolis North side, Julia liked to write stories and plays. As a teenager, she became depressed. She began writing poetry as a young adult. By the age of 30, she was diagnosed with mental illness. Through her many hours of seclusion, she wrote many poems. These are just some of them. She doesnt consider herself a poet, but wants to share her thoughts and feelings on a number of subjects.
