Conscious
Middle school is a horrible place
Many watch themselves
Compare to others
Lie to fit in
No one wants to be the only oneNo one wants to stand out
No one wants to do the right thing

The holiday season
During the holidays
I find the most joy in
Baking cookies
Knowing that my family will smile when they try them
Making and buying presents
Knowing that my family will smile when they open them

Confused
My teacher tells me
Write an ode
Use the format I give you
?
I am not sure what to write about
Somehow I decide on watermelon
I randomly type something about the texture -

Alone
I do what I’m told
I have friends
I try my best
But it isn’t enough
I ninety feels bad
A failure
But for some people it’s a win
I don’t want to squash their victory
I don’t know how to feel

I Am Angry
I am angry at the world
I am angry at it’s injustice
I am angry at America
I am angry that we let this happen
I am angry at everyone

Who I want to be
“Stop being a nerd”
“You’re the smartest kid in the grade”
“You’re a child prodigy”
“You’re an academic weapon”
Okay.
Fine.
Maybe I am.
But
My grades
or winning a kahoot

Dear America

i want you to sit and stare at the glistening horizon.

Forgotten
Whisked away,
In a dark unknown.
Long fingers pull us out.
Scrutinize.
We’re unlaced,
Laced again,
Step by step we thud against the ground.
White turns to gray,
Soles become worn,
