She Said He Said

She said I should get help.
He said I should stop crying.
She said I needed a bigger bra.
He said I was too young.
She said face my fears.
He said Let’s go this way.
She said that I was heavy.
But she said I was perfect
She said I was lucky .
But my thoughts tell me something other.
She said I’m a nasty pig .
I’m beautiful said my mother.
She said I’m confused.
I say I was moved.
He said I need to listen.
I say I need to relax.
I say leave me alone!

Always You and Me

by Saoirse Chen aged 9

This poem is from me to you,
And it is something very new.
I hope we will stay together,
And that our time lasts forever.

Through the sky and in the sea,
It is always just us: you and me!
Everywhere we spin and twirl,
We are dancing as we whirl.

You are the best,
Better than all the rest.
I love you,
As you can see.
Forever, it is just you and me.

Respect for Everyone

by Fatima aged 12

let the respect be made
the actions you choose
are sharper than a blade

injury, misery
are all part of victory
you are a part of history
when it will end is still a
mystery

day, night or afternoon
be respectful it’s never
too soon

be the person to heal the wound
boy, girl, man or woman
in the end it’s just a human

poor, rich hungry or thirsty
for what it matters
it doesn’t concern me

They Won’t Understand

2
by Nina aged 10

They won’t understand
They just can’t feel the pain
They’ve heard the shouting, the screaming, the cries
They’ve heard them all, the fibs, the lies
They don’t understand what goes on in my home
They don’t understand why I want to be alone
They don’t understand why I’m scared of men
They don’t understand why I draw on myself in pen
They don’t understand the scissors and tape
They don’t understand I’m scared of rape
They don’t understand what I feel
They don’t understand because what is real?
Is this a dream, a vision, a lie?
Will I reincarnate once I die?
Will I be judged by what I am?
Or will I be judged on who I am?
They don’t understand I’m not ok
I don’t want them to say that they’ll stay
It’s all lies not the truth
Maybe I shall just jump off my roof
They read these poems and confront
Why can’t they read and understand?
Poetry is how I open up

School

It’s so long,
And I can barely handle it,
If it wasn’t for my friends
Then school would be the end of it.
So a huge thanks to them
Because without them,
I wouldn’t know who I truly am
It’s been a hell of a rollercoaster,
But with you guys by my side
It’ll all be fine.

I love mud
I like it on my clothes
I like it on my toes

Snowflake

like a beautiful snowflake
you’re one of a kind
a miracle from heaven
an exceptional find
here’s one hoping
your Christmas is extraordinary too
great and wonderful and special
just like you

Merry Christmas!

My Trip to London

2
by Veer Sorout aged 10

My trip to London
Was full of fun
We went all over the city
Into bookstores
And onto the Cutty Sark
We saw Saturn from the royal observatory
We went into the 02
We took pictures of Big Ben
And we went on the London Bridge.
We saw the Natural History Museum
And the British History Museum
We saw the biggest M&M store in Leicester square
And a Lego Big Ben in the Lego store
We saw the London Eye watching all over the city
From across the River Thames.

Iron Bru

Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
Join the crew
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I’ll have a sip too
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
It makes me go to the loo
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I knew it was true
Iron Bru, Iron Bru,
I’ll get myself some Iron Bru.

Winter Freezy

The winds blowing strongly about the place,
Imagine like freezing.
Although the temperature is less than 10
I wear my warm cozy jacket but it’s still cold.

Also in Los Angeles now
There are deadly wildfires
