The advice I would give is
to end segregation because it’s not fair.
Also not to cheat on tests.

Birds in the City
We hear birds in the city.
A bird chirps when singing a song.
When birds chirp, it is harmony.
El sonido de los pájaros es el sonido de la naturaleza.

The Galaxy of Earth: Full of Joy
Black hole,
dots,
colors.
White dots with blue scribbles
it’s like a spinning circle.
A galaxy, it’s oval and colorful,
tastes like yogurt and feels like a foggy day.
It smells like air or sugar.
It smells like cake.
Active and excited
Happy, happiness
Small.
Full of joy.
It’s like a fruit salad,
a unicorn,
a star,
And a Cake of infinity bites

Love is a fallacy
Ethos is credible
I like eating
Girls like me
He is weird
Too much food
Only 12
Not funny
These all describe me
I’m Leighton

Good Hope
In the grass
A brass band
Plays
I’m kneeling
And I hear the music singing
From my hand. Continue reading “Good Hope”

What it’s like to be Aleyahna (for those of you who aren’t)
First of all I’m tall
Face strong
Real different huh
Speak my mind
But that ain’t how they want me to be
Stressin’ but ain’t nothing progressing
But that ain’t how life’s supposed to be
Everybody wants me to be this, be that
But that’s not what it’s gonna be!

He destroyed his cage

My White Lie
My white lie got bigger and
bigger. My white lie was that I
ate the last cookie and said that
somebody ate it. I was 8 years
old. The lie was at my house. When
I lied the house looked like it
was not safe.
I told the lie to my mom
and dad. I said, “I didn’t
eat the cookie my brother did!”
I lied because I didn’t
want my mom and dad to
ground me. I felt
unhappy because I was lieing
to my mom and dad. My mom
and dad still grounded me
because it was what I got for
lieing. I feel good right now. Now
I feel safe in my house.
