Why is it?

Is it the art or the artist

That is not good enough?

Why is it

That I only get praised for my art online?

Why is it

That I only get awards 

When the judges don't know me?

Should I be defined

By how I look and act

When it comes to what I do?

Why is it

That I only get recognition

From the teachers who clearly like me

Even if I have straight As?

But I know why,

It's because of me.

And why is that?

  • stop. drop. roll.

    stop.

    stop running.

    stop worrying.

    stop everything.

    drop. 

    drop to the ground.

    drop your possessions.

    drop everything.

    roll.

    roll anyway from the fire.

    roll away from your fears.

    Looks like a crescent moon, but it's actually the opposite

  • The Snow Falls

    No school today,

    For the first time since December

    It's been five months,

    Almost half a year,

    Yet the snow falls,

    We ripped March off the calendar

    Yet the snow falls,

    The snow melted in February,
