why world?
i have so many why's to ask of the world
why i must wear a bra
when men walk around
chests bare
why i must scream
to have my voice heard
when men whisper
heard by the whole room
why we must kill everything -

The time is now
This is a poem I wrote during my time at The Governor's Institute of Vermont for The Youth Action and Global Issues week. I wrote this with Josslyn, Josie, Reese, Fiona, Sadie, and Ellie.

Favorite things
One of my favorite things
is watching the little ants
hustle and bustle
doing the things ants do
One of my favorite things
is hearing the birds sing
dew still damp
on every blade of grass
every leaf
every stump -
Ocean
Sand beneath my feet,
waves pulling back,
creating a ripple,
when they hit,
salt,
stinging my cuts,
making me feel alive,
my breathing matches,
the soothing sounds,
of the ocean.
The sky turns purple, -
Rock to rock
Maybe I was just born
with the skill,
hop,
hop,
rock to rock,
bare feet,
curling,
to fit the curves,
of the rocks,
below my feet.
Up,
hands searching,
little edges,
that happen to be,
