This is a poem about racism. It was inspired by my school's magazine from a few years back and I read a short story about an Indian boy who was bullied by other students of different race, not just Whites, but Hispanics and African-Americans too. He wrote about how he would walk down the hall and other kids would call him, a "terrorist" because of how he looked and what race he was. In anger, I wrote this poem to express my thoughts on his situation and what I believe. I, myself, am Hispanic and am ashamed to read about such behavior from people who look like me. If I could talk to that boy, I'd tell him that I was sorry. Not for him but for the situation he was plagued with everyday.

She Dreams of Paradise
"She writes, Moving along with the flow, As the words show up on the screen, The faster her fingers go, Eager to get it all down, And she is lost, To a world, All of her own." -Lose Yourself, By Allyteration (Because I'm not going to quote someone else's poetry as a description for my own.)

The American (BWWM)
"What?" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep, rude voice. Ethan has pitch-black hair, is 6 feet tall, with a solid build. His deep grey eyes are glaring at me right now. His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside.

It'll also have more characters and hopefully be more in depth as well as be longer and have a different ending. He thought he was a bad boy. She thought she was a psychopath. He was bad news. She was worse. He was angry at the world. She just wanted to have fun in it.

After all his hall is only for the 'Class A' dangerous students, as the teachers and guards put it anyway. However when she gets there and he finds out that she's a she he's kinda annoyed that they class her as a 'Class A +' which is more dangerous than him. _______________________________ A lot of colourful language and not the rainbow kind. started this when i was young so it's not the best. but i still put my heart into it so don't copy please i'm sick of it.

Invisible Scars
**** I'd like to make it known that I was 14 when I wrote this. here is a BIG TRIGGER WARNING. It deals heavily with abuse among other things when I thought It was cool as a edgy teen filled with anxiety and despair. It's a wild ride and It is not even that good and I would change A LOT of the words in there cause some might be offensive or triggering to others. So, yeah, just read at your own risk. **** I stared into the brown eyes of the boy I've grown to love. "Jake, A lady could be mentally ill on the inside, but be a supermodel on the outside. You have to understand that not all scars are visible. But it doesn't mean those scars won't heal." He stared at me before closing the distance between us with his lips. 2014 copyright.

...He approached me and firmly grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards one of the cabins. In a rather brutal manner, he pushed me inside, blocking the door behind him.
