Imperfection

By Dennis Rothwell

Subject to your knees,

Yet you ask nothing of them,

For every person sees,

That you are perfect.


Ordinary School Girl

By Hridya Kakumanu

and I have tests.


Different

By Sophie Slusher

Talking with others

feeling so very different

never quite the same



Jokes at my expense

The others laughing so hard

Try and fail to smile


Crown of Daisies

By Lauren Hassan

I am but a girl with scars,

I am but a girl with a dream,

Like any other you will see,

I am unique,

But still like any other,

I’ve been thrown,

And hit,
