Writing

Longer than forever

I will love you longer than forever 

The time I've spent alone has convinced me that I am far too old to wait for something more

I've always wanted it

1.

I walked today, amongst several colors of grasses and amidst winds that scraped and soaked my silver face, wet from the morning dew, and sore from the strong pull of the corners of my mouth.

One day, on a dry summers night,

A winged monster swooped in, looking for a fight

It burned and it broke everything it could find,

Then it left, leaving carnage behind
 

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Autumn '24 Writing and Art Contest!

You may not understand

What it is

To look your future in the eye

And have it blink

To not know

If your rights

Will be your rights

Joining my friends in front of the door to my school.

People chanting:

Let us in!!

Let us in!!

Finally they open the door and I walk inside.
