They Say

They say

Don’t judge a book by its cover but,

“ you look ridiculous”

They say don’t make assumptions but,

“That kid looks nice”

They say get to know someone but,

“This kid looks like a trouble maker”

They say learn each others story

“Whose parents would let them do that?”

I guess to them

We’re just a mess

Our generation is a disgrace

No modesty

Inappropriate

Why can't they see

That we are

Progressive

Diverse

Understanding

Talented

We say 

Don’t judge a book by its cover

And stay true to our word

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
