The image is a poem inside of a flower-like structure. Each portion is separated by some text. The text reads (going from left to right) 1. There lies a seed in the musky water. A seed that will grow to become a beautiful flower. The seed crawls its way from the bottom to top, much like people.… Continue reading Jasmine Lerma

Tatianya Montano They say that happiness will find you but I think sadness finds you too It sneaks up on you in darkness Just when you think you’re made it through It’s open holes in what was solid ground the kind you never knew are there Until you go to take another step and find… Continue reading “They say that happiness…”
The Life of a Wrestler

Paulina Salazar I hadn’t seen him all day. Not in the morning or after school. Not at all, well almost at all. I didn’t think much about it, because it was a regular thing that he’d just be gone for a day or two. After school I got on the bus home, and I sat… Continue reading February 5, 2019
Mi Cambio
Jabdiel Rivera I am not staying with my mom anymore. I do not see my brothers, I wonder why? I miss them, miss the chaos of children screaming and playing. I do not hear or feel in my skin the footsteps big and little of kids running and my mom running after them. I remember… Continue reading Mi Cambio
