Poems
Words are my canvas, and storytelling is my passion. I love telling stories through poetry, inspired by the people around me and their emotions. Dive into my collection which showcases some of my personal work as well as school projects.
A Mask of Acceptance
For an 8th grade Language Arts unit, we analyzed the book "Indivisible" by Daniel Aleman, and presented on "What does it mean to belong, and what does it mean to be the other". I wrote this poem as my close.
*The original art was created for this project.
Finding True Belonging
For the same unit and topic "What does it mean to belong, and what does it mean to be the other". I wrote another poem to complement my analysis.
Anxiety
For a summer writing camp between 7th and 8th grades, I chose to write about mental challenges I saw some of my friends face, did research, and tried to capture their feelings and emotions.
Depression
For a same summer writing camp, this is another of the poems I wrote about depression.
Disease, Destruction and Death
For our 7th grade poetry unit, we had to choose a word and write poems in various formats. I chose the longest - "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silica dust.
Expressive
Writing
A curated collection of my expressive writing and rants — pieces that allow me to pour my thoughts and emotions onto the page. The work you'll explore below includes samples from my school assignments, where I've harnessed the power of words to bring stories to life.
An Ode to Hypocrisy
For an 8th grade Language Arts unit, we analyzed the book "Indivisible" by Daniel Aleman, and wrote a "rant" directed at the Statue of Liberty by the protagonist Matt, whose parents were deported.
​
I chose to express Matt's frustrations and anger at the hypocrisy of liberty as represented by the statue, using it's physical attributes as a metaphor for hypocrisy.
