  • I do not understand

    I do not understand how some people choose to live in ignorance of the world around them

    Ignorance is not bliss

    It is deciding that you do not care to know about the struggles of others

  • WTH, world

    Black and white

    The conflict the world can't seem to get over

    Why can't we all just be people?

    This is no difficult task, to accept others

  • Every Single One

    The sky is not falling

    Chicken Little went home

    I wish this corrupted land was not my home

    The politicians flew too close to the sun

    I have now learned how a cheeto can run

    The sky is falling 

  • A long time

    It's been a long time since I have felt truly at ease with my friends

    Since I've been able to laugh freely, smile easily, and be unapologetically myself

    But now I have found people who make me feel accepted and celebrated

Loves

  • Confession

    When I think about tomorrow, 

    I see the calculus test I have not studied for 

    and the five overdue assignments with long-received 

  • Before

    I miss the days 

    When we would run through the fields 

    And swim in the pond all day 

    Smiling and using kayaks 

     

    I miss the nights 

  • Silent Warriors - Like Us

    “Your grades don’t matter,” they say. But when you get a B, they yell at you. 

    “You’re so healthy,” they say. But when you touch one potato chip, you need to stop eating so much. 

  • Margins

    Stay in the margins

    Don’t speak up, stay quiet, the adults are talking

    What are we supposed to do?

    Stay in the margins

    Be yourself, but not if society doesn’t like it

  • Time Slip

    My leisure was over 
    quicker than expected. 
    Now I'm back to doing homework 
    but keep getting distracted. 
    Another glance at the clock 
    Another 30 minutes gone. 

  • War

    Every story I've ever been told has held a spot in my life, 

    The goodest of hero's and foulest of foes did share with me the night.
