Journey
Gentle waves curl over themselves
Like blue and white ribbons
Twirling together to captivate the eyes
The sky is in flames
Shades of orange and red
Reach through the blue

Remember
Remember
Even though the world is in a giant knot
Tightening and restricting
Coiling and controlling
We still have flowers
We still have beaches
We still smile and laugh

Me
I am not you, I am me
We are different
Sometimes I like the rain
Sometimes it makes me sad
lonely
You've always hated the rain
Sometimes I am angry and
Sometimes I erupt like a shaken soda

Risky
Life is like the marshmallow in the s’more
First you have to take one out of the bag
Then stab it on a stick
If you do it wrong
The marshmallow drops into eager flames
You can start over

Before
I had dreams
I had compassion
I didn’t care what anyone thought
I laughed more often than not
I cried over things that mattered to me

Life, Freedom, Joy
For every woman being raped.
For every trans made illegal.
For every Native forced out of their home.
For every black person called “lesser.”

Acted like a boy
Was a boy
Would we get farther
In life
Would we be respected
If every woman
Was a man
Would we be valued
Would we be able

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
