Growing Old

By Hunter Woosley

I used to be young,

Running around Harlem having fun.

But now I grow old,

And the angels are calling.

Time to go home,

Time to go home.


Full Grown

By Anna Wolock

I'm old, I tell them,

Older than you.

I tell them I'm old,

I'm full-grown.



I've seen many days,

Lived many years.

I've been many places,

I'm full-grown.


One Word

By Rylee Wilson

One Word

Can make the difference.

Guilty? or Not?



It doesn’t matter what I think.

It only matters what the jury believes.

I am nothing but a name in a story.


Black

By Gage Oshman

I wish more things were black.

Watch the depression stack

Bury the emotion in a deep sack

Take all the hate and give it back

The whip of remorse has a thundering crack

I wish more things were black.
