“Me vs. You (…but mostly me)” by Iveliana Diaz has been released worldwide. This 182-page poetry collection captures a range of human experiences, conveying tender self-examination, a willingness to make space for emotional highs and lows, and the importance of resilience in the face of hardship. Diaz’s writing celebrates self-love, yet doesn’t shy away from candidly sharing feelings of loneliness, heartbreak, and unworthiness.
By writing about her full spectrum of experiences – whether feeling loved and connected or isolated and insignificant – Diaz shows a process of healing rooted in confronting pain and acknowledging moments of contentment. Inspired by her father, who wrote songs and poems throughout her childhood, the author’s passion for self-expression through language is palpable in each piece.
Organized in three phases titled Past, Present, and Future, the poetry contained in this collection shows the transformative nature of deep reflection and the inherent human ability to grow. The poems were written over two decades, from age 14 to the author’s mid-30s, and the evolution of their style and subject matter are emblematic of Diaz’s journey through life.
Readers accompany the author as she learns to cope with anxiety and self-esteem issues, seeing both her trials and triumphs as she becomes the resilient woman she is today. This powerful poetry collection is intimate and inspiring, beautifully exploring the vivid emotion that makes us human.
Me vs. You (…but mostly me) (ISBN: 9781965340271) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The paperback retails for $15.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request.
From the back cover:

Throughout the course of my life, I wrote this collection of poems, starting at the age of 14 and still going in my mid-30s. "Me vs. You (but mostly me)", expresses various stages of my life and how I was able to overcome my struggles with self-esteem and anxiety, ultimately leading to recognizing my self-worth.
About the author:
At an early age, I was surrounded by poetry and music. My father would write poems and songs about my mother and I, which influenced me to start writing. I kept a journal of poems to express my thoughts. The collection of poems would show my evolution and what I hoped to aspire to in life. Throughout the course of everyone's lives, we tend to compare ourselves and our upbringings to others, which hinders our growth. Ultimately, the only person we should be in competition with is our past selves in hopes of bettering our lives. With this book, I hope to share with you my continued love of poetry, rooted in me by my favorite person, my father.
