Innocent People
By: Ali Tallat, grade 9
My friends please think…
These innocent people who died
Who died in Louisiana
Who died in Pakistan
They were all our friends
They were a our brother and sisters
Some of them were children
Some of them were innocent
Look at this child, his mother is dead
Look at this mother, her child is dead
They are calling for help
They are calling for shelter
We can help them with money
We can help them with love.

Abuse
Anonymous
Glass broken on the floor
Still I don't know why, but I go for more
Blood that stained my shirt and skin
While dealing with the pain within
I am trying to find something to hold on to
Looking for something to love about you
I am scared of you today and was scared yesterday
Now I know that I must runaway
You then look at me with those blue eyes
There I see your compassion with the lies
I am already emotionally scarred and bruised
Don't wanna be physically forced and abused
When I saw you for the first time in love I fell
Now I see you and I scream and yell
Afraid of the forth coming blood and screams
Life isn't always what it seems
I don't say I love you without being truthfully
I don't cry when I am hurt so deeply
I don't do that and I don't do this
I don't even ask for a hug or even a kiss

Respect
By: La Nuit Sombre
Look into my eyes
Who am I?
A shy little girl, in this crazy world?
Or a strong woman… Powerful and brave.
When you speak to me,
Look at me.
Not through me…
I am here.. I am real
I deserve respect,
Just like everyone else
Give me respect,
And maybe, just maybe
You’ll gain respect for yourself! |

A poem by Shaina Belot in remembrance of her life.
24 Hours
Imagine for a moment…
You have 24 hours to live
Only 24 that’s it, no more
What would you do?
How could you do everything in just 1 day?
All the things you planned for your lifetime
Now your lifetime is down to a day
1 day no more no less
You put everything off you were planning to do
Now everything you put off will never come true.
Now your left with only empty wishes
Now you will have no memories of life
Before this happens to you
Remember
Live your dreams before they cannot come true.
