"What Do You Think?" by Anonymous

What we think we become, and my family is known to think big

What we think we become, what happens if you THINK about losing your home

How do you find it, what do you look for 

I can always find my way back because its where the people I love are


What we think we become, what happens when you think for home

I engulf myself with the smell of cucumber melon incense 

The overwhelming floating fragrant smell of soul food


What we think we become, and my family is known to think big

Yeah we laugh, yeah we joke

We are also mass communications specialists

We are PR representatives and diversity and inclusion managers


What we think we become, and my family is known to think big

Only as a result of necessity to survive

Discrimination not only plagues my family but everyone that looks like me

My own people not having the state of mind to invest in themselves so they take from each other 

Our only way out is to think and to think big


10pm is an orchestral performance that beings of the night 

As the creatures of the air that sing throughout the day begin to go to sleep

The things that creep and hop upon the earth begin their selection

My house is like a theater room for talent from all around to perform 

From chirping to strangulating

From peace to insanity

My home is my 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  ...
