Too much
I am 13
I am in 7th grade.
I like school. Most of the time.
I am quite good at school.
I'm in all the advanced classes offered. 3 years ahead in Math, 3 years ahead in my English vocab, and on the hardest History track.

Irony
The irony is not lost on me. The day that Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated, is the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Justice
The justice part of the American justice system has left the building.
You should absolutely not be able to convict someone of a crime and have them suffer zero consequences.
No jail time.
No parole.

My World
How do I see the world? I see a lot of bad things. That’s what the news likes to show us. There’s war, poverty, hunger, death, school shootings, plane crashes, and of course the looming threat of climate change.

When my hair is a halo in the air
I love trampolines.
I love feeling my strong legs push into the balls of my feet push against the resistance of the springs just before they shoot me into the air.
I love the short time where I am flying higher and higher.

2 brothers
I have 2 brothers
One is 11
and one is 3.
My house is never
ever
quiet.
I used to want an older sister.
To borrow clothes from.
To talk to about boys.
To show me how to put on make up.

Most Likely
Most likely to
Trip
While sitting down
Most likely to
Speak
Without making a sound
Most likely to
Laugh
So nobody cries

Real Magic
I sat down
In my seat in the theater.
We waited for the show to start
With anticipation. I loved the book
And now it's on Broadway
And I couldn't wait.
The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

Conflicting
Conflicting feelings in my brain
In my heart
As I lay awake,
Not entirely sane.
Conflicting thoughts, all knotted up.
How do I untangle,
Fix what I've lost?
How do I make sense of it?

Dolls
Dolls, who you dress up in pink and white,
dolls, who you take to the park or on a flight,
dolls, who are made of plastic and cloth,
they are always so girly, never unique or even goth.

Roses and Violets
Roses are red
Violets are blue
We’ve known each other
Since we’ve been in school
We were inseparable
Through elementary and high
