My Story

"Viviana Guzmán gave a stellar performance not only awing the crowd with her sublime musical talent, but also with the sensitivity and mastery in which she expressed the beauty of so many diverse cultures from around the world."
~Beverly Hills Outlook

Veil of Thorns
My veil of thorns
has lifted,

The wounds
are healing
as the scars fade,

Gone are
the bleeding torments
of my soul.

The pains
have been deafening,

The holes
in my heart
seem un-mendable,

The scars
and incisions
on my hips
almost destroyed me.


The darkness
feels incomprehensible
to all around me/

Only perhaps Mother
and Frida Kahlo
truly understand
this level
of pain.


I have had
to endure years
of feeling trapped
inside a
malfunctioning body
