Ode to My Sister

1. O Corrina
2. You’re the peanut butter to my jelly
3. Without you, I’d be all alone
4. Your hugs are like hot summer days, they keep me warm
5. I’m grateful to have you in my life
6. Tik toks with other people are just not the same, it’s better with you
7. I wouldn’t want to get in trouble with anyone else
8. You make me laugh like no other
9. New Netflix series are the best when you’re around
10. You make the best smoothies
11. Your late night snaps make me beyond happy
12. I’m glad you’re my sister
13. Oh Corrina, I love you

I decided to write the Ode Poem about my little sister. Her and I get along really well together but we tend to get on each others bad side as well. I wanted a poem to look back at whenever her and I aren't on good terms.

9. Who would like to see their uncle Daniel, handsome grandpa, and YOU

The reason I decided to put the Bio Poem in this anthology is because I feel like it's important for my family to see how I view myself. Everyone is different and I want them to see all of my differences. I know that in the end of the day, my family loves me for me and all they ever want is for me to just be happy being me.

Homework is My Weakness

1. If I was a superhero, homework would be my weakness it is very stressful
2. But if I do it, I’ll be more successful
3. Homework makes me want to claw my eyes out, I really dislike it
4. That’s why I quit;
5. School is dreadful!!

I feel like it's very important for my family to know my weaknesses so that they can help me make them strengths. My family loves me and all they want is for me to be happy and strong. We're all in this together.

Step Inside My Mind

I am a high schooler, that struggles

I wonder when the pain will go away

I hear my mind tell me that I’m not good enough, ears ring throughout the day, then it goes away

I see the internet and wish I looked like those girls

I want to see my friends, even though I don’t have many

I am pretty in eyes that aren’t mine

I pretend to be happy when I’m not

I feel guilt when I step on a scale

I worry that I’ll never be good enough

I cry and it streams down my face like a river

I am enough but then I’m not

I understand everyone feels this way, I’m not alone

I say I hate my life, but then I’m glad I stay

I dream of someone who will understand

I try to be positive around people, but no one truly knows how I feel

I hope this pain will go away 

I am bipolar, trying to find my way

My family already knows that my anxiety is a lot higher than the average person. They know that I struggle everyday. Everyone one has anxiety, some people handle it better than others. Everyone has depression, some people handle it better than others. I want my family to know that even though I have a disorder, I battle each and every day to still be here. I want them to know that I'm proud of where I am and who I've become. They should be proud too.

1. Trapped: [trap]
2. Prevent (someone) from escaping from a place
3. Every other weekend I see him
4. Friday afternoon’s let to demeaning behavior and dreadful times
5. I beg my mom to let me stay, that never works out
6. Packing is always the worst part
7. Leaving my family and friends to visit a stranger
8. His home is like a circus with 9 kids
9. Lost hours for someone that doesn’t care
10. I miss my mom

I liked this poem and I wanted to share it with my family. It's a very touchy subject but I feel like it needs to be talked about. I love my father but he needs to understand that what he does hurts his kids. I know he "loves" us but, he needs to show it in a better way.
