Lyrics:
Excuse me
I’m sorry
But I’d like
To slip away

Yesika Salgado, also known as Yesika Starr, has the honor of being one of the few poets that can actually fuck me up with words. With the recent release of “Corazón,” her first book, I wanted to look back on other works from Salgado. “Sentimental Boss Bitch,” a chapbook, was self-published this year. It’s eighteen pages long. In those eighteen pages there’s love, joy, longing, pain, heartbreak and of course, learning how to be a sentimental boss bitch.
Sometimes I feel doomed or as though I’ve betrayed myself in wanting a career in writing and overall only feeling happy when I can utilize my creativity. And other times I feel as though despite all my yelling that no one listens to me regardless. I get discouraged by my lack of popularity, the lack of ‘likes’ and attention I receive for my music, and it makes me ask myself the question of why I keep going. To be honest, I’m not sure why. But I push myself to keep yelling in hopes that one person like me can hear me and that I inspire them to yell, too.
