Most girls want a prince to be a princess, I’m a queen who needs a king. Most girls want to learn how to use makeup, I want to learn how to use complex machines. Most girls want to be pretty. I want to be smart. Most girls want to be cool. I want to be kind. Most girls are artificial. I want...

I like to read, It’s as simple as that, Some people even say That I’m good at that. The words curve and shape Like never before I transform with them In all their galore. Books are out keepers of Stories, our tellers of Tales. Book are our friends, And never fail. They never abandon...

The words glide off the page, The letters curving in ways I didn’t think possible. Is it possible to have Such wonderful things at the Tips of your fingers? The words glide off the page And into my mind, Transporting adventures Into the depths of my mind. I lose myself, submerging Into the...

Insecurities are only in your head Insecurities are lies Insecurities will make you doubt yourself We always think about appearances and hope people like us “Will they like my clothes and my hair?” “No one really likes me, I’m only here out of pity.” “Will someone ever truly ...

Masks
Alex Mertes, Guest Poet, 8th Grade
May 14, 2020
I don't know what to do. I’m alone with hundreds around me, my Mask, my facade. The weight of a thousand stars pulls me down. This mask, so clever, no one else can see it, not as clearly as me. Everyone has their mask, mine black as night, those places not even the bright lights can light...
Being a Girl
Muna Mohamud, Guest Poet, 8th Grade
May 14, 2020
What does it mean to be a girl in society? To live in a man's world being scolded for sitting slantingly To see countless ads screaming at her to lose the weight Or telling her to gain it like she didn’t just puke the meals that she ate It’s heartbreaking To see videos of you...
Dear Grandma

Take care of yourself, Don’t overwork, Take care of yourself, Eat well, You’re a wise owl, A blessing bird. Time flies by really fast To know that it was 4 years ago When I said goodbye, Crying as I let go of you. I remembered when you used to cook for me You always put ag...

Butterfly Effect of Us
Amy Tong, Guest Poet, 8th Grade
May 14, 2020
I look over the prairie, Yet shocked at what I see, There is nothing in sight, in less it’s imaginary. No animals to watch carefree. No flowers to smell. The beautiful fields had to bid farewell. How did this happen, out of the blue, Just how did everything dispel. Where ...
To Fit In
Katie Jovanovic, Guest Writer
May 7, 2020
Katrina let her thoughts control her, drag her down to the depths of an ocean swarming with insecurities and issues. She let the torrents drown out the gleeful chatter of Delana, her best friend. Images of herself, a thin pasty white otter, with a smile plastered on her face swam in the ocean of thoug...
