With everyone’s eyes on you, what can you do?
Every corner like vultures waiting on you,
waiting for you to fail,
waiting for you to rebuttal so you may be
cleansed.
Purified of common sense, the conscious
mind eradicated,
the lens condenses as melting ice zooming in
closely.
To the degree of an atom on your behavior,
making you exposed, as a newborn dropped
into the safari desert.
Being confined by the eyes of the country,
though not confined by the wall of a building.
Protecting our laws that free us with walls,
Speaking of a civil and peaceful world through
having the eye of a tyrant in the form of a
camera lens.

THE DAY I MET MY BROTHER
On February 16, 2014
by ROSALEEN
My life is not perfect…Nothing is perfect but I try to keep my head up everyday. Most of the Time I’m not really happy. I mean yeah, there’s a smile on my face, but that doesn’t mean i’m happy.
But ever since I’ve met my brother I’ve cheered up a lot more. There is not only a smile on my face, but its a real smile with a lot more feeling.
I thought that was the only thing that could get better in my life, but like always, i was wrong.
Before I met my brother I met the most amazing guy in the world. I still remember the day 8/05/13 like it was yesterday. Ever sine I met him I knew I would start having feelings for him. But I just kept these feelings to myself.
Once I officially knew that I had feelings for him I told him. After a while he found out that he felt the same, but we still stayed as best friends. I thought we would never be together so I was about to throw these feelings away until…It happened.
I didn’t see it coming, but it just did…So I have two amazing guys in my life: my brother and my best friend. They are the reason why I’m happy.

I CAN’T BELIEVE
On February 16, 2014
by JAMMONICA
I can’t believe that this angel came back, because at first I was stuck in a big hole. Like I was in hell or something. But this wonderful angel came back to protect me from all the demons. That had me stuck into this deep dark hole. I was scared that I wouldn’t be saved. I was scared that an angel would save me. I couldn’t believe it. The angel has a halo and wings. The angel was miraculous, the greatest one ever. I thought I would have been stuck in the dark still but a light struck me out of nowhere. I’ve been struck by a beautiful bright light. I actually thought I wouldn’t be saved. I thought I would have been taken away. But I wasn’t. This angel protected me from this dark force. This angel didn’t want me to be destroyed or taken by this dark force. The angel wanted me to stay because I was a good addition to this earth. She wanted me to shine so bright. I shone so bright. It felt like I was on top of the world.

HOW I TRY TO HATE YOU
On February 16, 2014
by EMILY
I hate how much I love you & I love how much I hate you.
At night you make me smile & cry. In the morning you make me get out of bed & bring me down the rest of the day.
I want you to stay & leave at the same time. I want to look at you while waiting to forget you were even there.
I want us to be together & I want you to do something to make me hate you.
I love you & I can’t stand it. I want you to notice my existence & I want to ignore yours.
I want you to feel how I feel & not be able to do anything about it!
