SELF PORTRAIT SERIES / NOLA
By Akrum Salem
"New Orleans is my one true love
She feeds me good things
Shows my soul how to love
She gives my imagination no boundaries
Exposes impossibles
Can give you a fairy-tale and a nightmare in the same day
A true bitch I can’t walk away from
I try and try and every time she wins
She shows
She loves
She makes me giggle and burst out laughing
Scared, I hide
I like to think I’m her favorite bear cub she never wants to stop holding or show all sides of life..."
