This blog is a collection of my poetry, song lyrics, and certain other written works. I will try to upload at least one new poem per week. My dream to be published started all the way in 2nd grade, so I'm here to just get some of my stuff out there. Enjoy! (: This is the P.O.V. Better yet, this is me.

Dread Omen

Poster Child
Always in the shadow
Blown away as nothing important
Compared against one another always
Described as mediocre and insufficient
Everything seems to be wrong
For we are never going to be
Good enough for them
High expectations and norms set
Instead of praising that done well
Just simply critiques all that’s not
Knowing that somebody somewhere
Lies a bit higher up on that scale
Matching up qualities and activities
Not once beating them to come up on top
Only coming close, but that is not enough
Poster child, poster child
Queen and king of a perfect world
Ruling unknowingly
Suspecting naught of all the criticisms
They bring upon those striving for that perfection
Utopia unattainable when constantly,
Violently berated for all
We have done that does not please
Xenophobic hypocrites
Yielding their power and words to tear down
Zealous individuals until they doubt all
