But once life is breathed into words written (at times in &#8216;real time&#8217; as the events unfolded) with music, with imagery (I cried&#8230;the ugly cry while stitching together the parts to create whole music videos) what do you call it? Will my muse recognize himself? Not likely. Will I tell him? Probably not. Like a true Aquarius, I look forward not back into the past except to heal from trauma. So in my limited time, I share with you, my SECRETS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-804bee23ce068cac5243e4fcf609c8da\">     SECRETS is a book of poems turned into song lyrics.  I have included song and album art covers and it is intertwined with stories about the origins of the poems\/lyrics. Some stories will surprise you. Some stories will feel raw. As in the poem\/song &#8220;Sink or Swim &#8211; I choose to live an authentic life&#8221;. There will also be a QR code for each poem directing you to the album, song sample, and art posters for you to feel closer to what I felt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-dark-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-fa59f4c3b63d12c44e8fae07912f5677\"><strong>Maria A.
