Love

The thing about a broken heart
The pieces never stay
They leave in parts
One thing I’ve learned from falling in love
Is that it’s all heartbreak and none of the above

If Only

If I was skinny and wasn’t fat
If I was beautiful and not a rat
If I was white and wasn’t brown
If I was happy without a frown
If I had perfect teeth and a great smile
Then liking him could be worthwhile
If I played volleyball and didn’t dance
Then maybe I might have had a chance
If I was short and wasn’t tall
I could have been the prettiest of them all

If you’re reading this and relate to it
Just know someone loves you every bit
If you feel that you are not enough
Just remind yourself you’re beautiful and tough
If you find yourself covering your face
Or want to be a different race
Just know you are loved ❤️

Pink Christmas

by Sarah Sharma aged 11

Dreams come true on Christmas eve’s night.
Oh, how my spirit was so bright.
The night before Christmas was an amazing day,
Everyone decorated without a delay.

Awaiting the moment, the grandest show,
With Santa’s sleigh that would slowly but gracefully flow.
A sack full of gifts,
Is what he lifts.

He will soon appear
Spreading laughter and cheer.
In the shade of pink is where the snowflake danced,
Where couples in the snow also pranced.

In this land of wonder, oh very sweet and bright,
A pink Christmas night, such a neat delight.
Christmas is a place where it snows
And love and warmth in the air it flows.

If I Was at War

If I was at war
Oh, I would be such a bore
Fallen in love
Love heart eyes
Daydreaming about you
Wishful sighs
Boys in uniform
There’s nothing as good
*Cough cough get with me bud *
Enemy to lover
Your the father, I’m the mother

The Pain of Life

0
by Hanan Abikar aged 11

What is life?
How do you live life?

People have their ways
Some are lost and confused
Others know the path of heart
While some go with the flow.

But I’m not sure how to do it
Does it come with a manual or do you do it yourself

It’s like I’ve been left in the dark
Too lost and too scared to find out where I am

Life gets me worried
I don’t know where to start
I’ve had loads of advice
But I don’t understand any of it

The path is not there
I just need a sign to lead me
A vision, an instruction

Life is too hard for me to understand

Life makes me cry in lonely nights

Life a word that makes me scream from the deepest pits of my heart

Why, why?
Why do we live like this with the pain and confusion?

It’s like a knife through my heart to blocked to remove
That is my type of life.

Pretend?

Pretend?
How could I pretend it never happened?
Pretend we never met,
pretend you’ve never held me in your arms
or that I never laid my eyes on yours and surrendered to their charms.

It sounds so simple to pretend.
Surely you must think it would be easy for me,
to live through such a dense lie,
but I am haunted when I rest
and once I rise by the fact that we never Actually said goodbye.

Once my pretending is over am I to just forget?
Forget our memories,
forget our laughs,
our adventures and our ridiculous inside jokes.
But to think one day we may forget each other’s voices is what really hurts me most.

And upon forgetting will our world not crumble?!
If you and I
both remove the same memory from our heads,
for it to never be remembered again.
Will we continue to live our lives satisfied with the presence of another in our lives

They tell me life goes on,
And, perhaps it does.
But,
Perhaps it doesn’t,
for how am I to breathe air which you haven’t exhaled.
How am I to read harmonic love stories,
knowing that our love hadn’t prevailed?

How am I to ever stop loving you.
Missing you, wanting you, hating you,
wishing you had died.
For perhaps if you had left this world,
Missing you would be much more reasonable,
with there being no chance of you again being by my side.
I wish it was so easy to simply Pretend.

Bestie

A bestie is what you need
a bestie is life
if they go you will too
but if you go they won’t be heart broken
they will be devastated
if you cry they will comfort you
if they cry you should help
you can only get one bestie that is like them

Trying to Escape

0
by Lilly-Jane Shutz aged 12

Lots of noise all around,
Crashing, screaming all the sounds.
Silhouettes in the burning sky,
Out of reach like a bird in the night.
Trapped underground no food or water,
Trying to escape the above slaughter.

Crashing waves pull me under,
Lightning and the sounds of thunder,
I see red and I see blue,
I hold to my hope like glue.
I step aboard and I take flight,
Trying to escape the below fight.

Mother’s dead, father too,
Fire, bombs, oh who knew?
Brother, sister no one left,
I want to fight and avenge this theft.
Fire burning all around,
Trying to escape safe and sound.

Death, destruction, still the planes
The flame, still burning and then it rains.
Death surrounds me, blood in every corner,
No more escaping this torture.
Burying remains and somehow,
Trying to escape, no more, not now.

Pick up a sword and fight till death!
I fight with those who still have breath!
Words I say and things I do,
Its all for you and you and you.
Trying to escape what we used to be,
But now they are running across the sea!

I used to love. I used to care,
I used to fear the wind in my hair.
I was a boy. But since the Russian ban,
I gave up the used to be and became a man.
