"A Place Called Home" by Justin Williams



The place I call home is grandma's space

Just down the road from Centerwood

Where we eat, sleep, play and say

How we are thankful each day that we are living

Where I can finally say I found safe haven

You smell food like a strong fragrance from down the street

A hello and great big hug is how we greet

We open our arms open wide 

So that you feel homey, nice and warm inside

You smell the gumbo cooking on a pot 

I'm sure that once you eat it 'll hit the spot

The place I call home is grandma's space

Where you can find a smile on my face

 Its saddens me when we all have to leave

But the feeling is not sour but very sweet

We always stay together its just how we do 

A good morning from grandma a 

Goodnight to that she gives to me 

And now to you 

So this is grandma's space so sit and relax

The weight will be all off your shoulders

Where you can find love as big as a boulder 

This is a place that i call home

For me and everyone in my family 

Love is what holds us together

Together we are home.

"The Evolution of J" by Anonymous

Stemming from being most hated to most loved uttering nothing but pain and destruction by the          sound of her lips to speaking                            nothing other than            life into others Burning bridges and getting hurt, never fearing the consequences Always learning from your mistakes because that's the only way you knew how to grow Fighting to stay alive through all the trials and obstacles You almost gave up until your 3 reasons to live came to save your life I have been blessed to interact with a lot of great people  in my life but none can compare to you The presence you have in a room to command attention, your ability  to vibrate your lips at a speed where sound penetrates the air and people stop to listen, or the confidence you carr...

"Covid Thoughts" by Anonymous

It’s interesting being a senior in high school during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a time of great uncertainty. Something no one can control. Sure, the President of the United States, the Governor of NY, and even local politicians have put in policies to help fight the spread of coronavirus, however, it’s inevitable. The Kansas Governor has suspended the school year for all high school students, does that mean NY could be announcing a similar directive in the near future? The prom and graduation we’ve been looking forward to for our entire educational careers. It’s not fair. As President of the Class of 2020, I feel powerless, I try to keep the class informed, but there is only so much I can tell them. Why? Because I don’t know, I don’t think anyone does. I do know that school administrators are not worried about prom or graduation, they’re worried about handing out chromebooks, setting up wifi hotspots, and feeding children that qualify for free or reduced lunch. I completely understa...

"I’m Stressed" by DeAsia McCorvey

I’m stressed  The month of May has just begun One thing after the next thing is flung into the mix I don’t have time to dwell, only to progress I have to assess each step  The overdramatic feeling of everything being ruined has long passed The next chapter is coming, and coming fast The past feel so far, and the future too near  I’m not ready, I fear School hasn’t prepared me well enough to go from teen to young adult in the course of 2 months  I feel like a lamb to slaughter, unprepared and unaware The best year has turned into our worst year  I’m questioning if where I’m going is right  Despite never having doubts before  Cold feet, and sweaty palms  These qualms are heavier than imagined These qualms make my brain overactive when I’m suppose to be inactive  These qualms cause hot flashes of anxiety  These qualms make mood shoot south when dwelling too much  I would have never predicted how much I would struggle as a senior  ...
