Always questioned the reason for my existence, and that of this world full of lies, overwhelmed by the misunderstanding and indolence of society repressing my anger, but the hours go by and I feel that the feelings that arise and my heart pierce, devour him, while in silence I cry, feeling the emotion that deplores me and the dream I longs for. Without hope I wanted to leave this world, end it all in a few seconds, but was stopped by a deep feeling that calmed my angry thought, and I decided to fight to be able to change this seedy place that is nourished with fear, regret, and evil and that rots with hate all goodness. It does not matter if I am alone with my dreams, I have to change the world with determination, I will leave my name engraved in history, no matter how strong my inflexible trajectory is and without taking a step back I will give my existence to bring peace in this world without mercy.

Just something motivational.

A new door,
A new path,
A new chance.
Maybe this is how I can escape,
Maybe this is how I can be the fittest,
the strongest.
Maybe this is how I find the answers to the questions,
to the questions that were never asked.

Bianca, Hush
Today I’ll remain silent because when I roar you can’t take it. When we stand and scream for our rights you can’t take it. Rather that you tell me I don’t belong. You read your scriptures over my head and tell me I’m a sin. Discards me like rubbish and believes I have nothing good to bring. You tell me man to man and woman to woman is wrong but who told you that? Remember when it was you’re free to love who you want until it’s the same gender huh? Must of forgot I bleed the same blood, I am human too. Imagine being so excited for your wedding day just to be denied a cake because of the type of relationship you’re in or having the fear of losing your privilege to marry who you love. Y’all don’t seem to care or understand unless it happens to you and if the tables were turned you would want us to stand with you.

There are many things that bug me

It bugs me when there is no talking

When people are dull and boring

When I’m alone for too long

When someone says I’m wrong, when I know I’m not

When people break a promise

When I struggle and can’t do my work

When people don’t have a freedom of speech

When teachers don’t want to teach

When I don’t feel equal to everyone else

When people don’t do things themselves (sometimes)

When there are limitations

When there are no intellectual conversations

But what really bugs me is when a person does not listen to suggestions and makes a wrong or bad decision

The chocolate smiles at me,

While my taste buds scream with delight,

The sun blasted my hair and made me jump,

And scratches my face with its nails,

But when I get home the water fans me with a nice cool blow.

Sai B., Jamais Vu

I had just seen you yesterday, but yet I already forgot the feeling of your hand within mine. It pains me that it feels like a new start, as if it were a game this whole time. I wanna make you happy, so please help me remember our time together. All these memories feel so distant. It's not the first time this has happened, I can tell by the look on your face. No matter how many times I see you, how many times we come here, I know it'll happen again. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I'm stuck in this  Jamais Vu of mine.

Sorry I didn’t introduce myself or say hello but because of the color of my skin I don’t have time. I can never stay off my family’s mind, can't even really go outside and shine cause being black in America is basically a crime. Another black boy dead, another mama crying. Who would've thought I couldn’t even go outside with my hoodie on to get some skittles. Who would've thought I would've got chokehold for selling some cigars we already know times hard for us black people because check off black for a job application you’re less likely to get the job. Hearing all these slurs like my people aint die for some justice and this is just in we’ve been fighting our whole lives. When i say fight we did peacefully but they didn’t hear us when anger takes over and we start tearing down the land our ancestors built they calls us thugs and ghetto. May 25 George Floyd laid to rest because of the police I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself cause I can't breathe .

Sai B., Secrets

Inside this wall, we used to be just cattle, livestock, food for the ones outside. But now, the story has been revealed, and you can’t help but feel sorry for all those who live out there. The ones who do not have a say in what they became, only hoping they could return to normal one day or die by the hands of a blade to their nape. Who knows how long they’ve been calling out for, trying to find a way to escape the monstrosity of a form they were stuck in for weeks, months, years. One came, he was one of them. He had dug down deep inside the chamber of secrets and discovered the truths, getting memories of another and another. Secrets of another island, secrets of more people like him, secrets of the chamber that were now open to the world. Time could only tell how the truth would form the future, and how he could help us, how he could help them. But it seems though, time caused his mind to change. He wants to help them, the ones stuck, but wants to kill the ones who stuck them inside such terrible forms. How his mind has become corrupted to commit genocide amongst his own race. Time could have only told us so much about what would have happened since we discovered the chamber of secrets.

Sai B., Chocolate Eyes
Whenever you hold me, I can feel our hearts beat together. Who said we had to be lovers to have such synchronization? I get so lost in your scent, reminding me that home doesn’t always have to be a place. The gleam in your chocolate eyes is what makes me realize how beautiful they are, and your smile that makes me lose my breath for a while. Time made me realize that we don’t have to talk everyday, because when we do, we talk as if we’ve been talking for hours non-stop. Your laugh is something I want to listen to on repeat, your voice which soothes me in my dark times. Our paths may differ, and with sparkling eyes my lips can’t help but quiver, thinking that we may separate soon. The feeling of your luxurious curls between my fingers, how relaxed you felt when I ran them through. I’ll always keep in my mind your chocolate eyes, the way they looked into my dark cocoa bean orbs as you told me you love me, with the most passionate yet gentle tone. Your love is so rich with care and dedication that I feel so lucky to just hear my name come out of your mouth. The apple of my eye, the keyholder to my heart, you’re my all, my everything. Never leave me, as I promise to stay by your side till death do us part.

Melody D., The Feelings
My feelings are secret,
My feelings are deep,
My feelings are private, So I keep them to me,
Because we all know how dumb feelings can be.

My feelings are hard to hide, so that no one can see,
But people still know, just by looking at me,
That there is something wrong, so I got a stress ball to get me through the grief,
Because we all know how dumb feelings can be.

The stress ball helps me hide how dumb feelings can be,
Now my feelings are calm, and stay stuck to me,
Good thing to or someone get hurt,
Because we all know how dumb feelings can be.

Sai B., A New Hope
It's so scary to see how quickly time went on. Everyday it felt as if I was trying to outrun a heavy cloud of rain that always seemed to loom over my head. I met with pain many times but it was the pain that somehow propelled me. I can't wait to have the last dance with my sorrow at the last day, to welcome a new partner into the new year. I wish it would dance with me now. This year started off sweet but quickly spiraled into something so bitter. Gently take my soul and caress my eyes close so that I'm met with someone new, let me give out a silent cry for this silent night. All I wanted this year was life upon my throne, but things took such a evil turn. I watched as lives slipped through my fingers, bodies of strangers and loved ones. I wanted to be higher than the top, I wanted to be with my best but I traveled down to my lowest after noticing how lonely she was. Along this year, our eyes were kept wide open as issue after issue came and settled into our hands, yet it's sad to see some just let it fall through. It's all so messy, so chaotic, this piece I wrote just like how this year was. We saw who people were, we saw the true heroes of our time, we saw who really cared and who to split off from. Selfish, I wanted more chances, more time, more attention. I hope my mind will answer when I'm calling or else I'll be fading even deeper. This year caused me to bleed, slowly patched by the ones I love. I can only hope for a better year, to see a new hope in the horizon. Lights Out and watch the clock continue to tick into a new year.

Calming, peaceful, hopeful eyes,

Glistening of hope and wonder,

Floating along the clouds in the high skies,

Days with unexpected thunder

Chaos, misfortune, all the blues,

Darkened, fogged views,

Camera on, lenses placed,

Memories made, pain fades

My favorite colored lenses,

Rose-colored realities,

Nothing short of a walk with the sea breeze,

Beauty in the sunrise as much as sunsets

Trapped within dark pits,

Why not become your own light?

Innocence, promises, and selfless hearts,

A gift not well cherished,

But one’s favorite present

It's finally our time to rise. We will not hide away the truth from our kids. We tell them what they need to know to give them their youth. We will encourage others to use their voice. They can't stop us all for it's a revolution. We will not leave this as moment in life, no. This will continue to be the movement we need, the movement that changes the world. We will continue to fight back, even into the future where they'll call US, Freedom.

Engel G., From me to you, thank you.
To a life shrouded in highs and lows,
You remained steady, never to be toppled

To the life you helped create,
No reward suffices, but I’ll give you the best of me

To a life blind of what is before it,
You illuminate what is to come, just a little

To a life with poor ties,
You strengthened its knot, lengthening its coming undone

To a life savouring of intangible souvenirs,
You gifted me with new ones, better ones

From a life that gives it its all to cope,
Thank you.

Aaryan M., Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves

The wind blows ever so gracefully

Yet vigorously

Carried with the wind

Drifting through time

Struggling to find

My peace of mind

No longer here

Left to stray

Unable to find our way

Where we once were

We no longer remain

Leaving

Where we once were

Through time we gain

Unable to maintain

The space around us

So sweeping

Yet

Traveling

With the wind

Keeping us adrift

As this is how we

Exist

Time really does wait for no one.
It gives us a constant reminder.
We are always reminded about the inevitability of death. All we can really do is achieve for the greater beyond. I'm grateful to say I was there from the start, all the way to the end. I'm glad to carry the memories and talk about the meanings you left behind. November 13th, 2020 PST.

Engel G., Swaying Lullaby
In this rapidly changing moment, I yearn for it to be as long-lasting as this cycle, of countless millenniums...
I am present, so I'll express myself clearly because, under the watchful eye of the moon, uncertainty thrives
Dancing with your shadow to a magical melody on this infinite night, until the sun rays engulf my absent existence
My imagination is a reflection of my wishes
In my head, there is a world, one where it, is not just a desire but our reality
Come! Let the moon be witness to the first of our infinite nights!
Because once the moonlight is overtaken by a distinctive blinding light, I can no longer guarantee the continuation of us...
In our current state,
As we dance to this swaying lullaby, tears slide down a smooth familiar path
And as the night fades, a way is paved for a dream-less world
Rays of light enter the room, slowly enveloping my deprived body
This dancing melody slowly disappears into the day, hand in hand with the parallel world that exists solely in my imagination
I've already told you!
In my imagination exists a special place, a world where our bodies endlessly sway, to a melody stained blue, and the night everlasting as the stars
So why don't we start anew in a blank canvas? Together!
This night of a million stars is infinite
After all, I am made of what accompanies me at night
As infinite as the remaining stardust of departing stars...

Seline Y., Time Again

Time again I found myself in Sadness

Time in motion, Like a commotion

Contained By the walls of life, a slow wheel

Contained through a string, with a lying smile

“Me”? I questioned, why is it always me?
