A curated collection of creative voices from our youth

I am a tree.
A green tree.
When fall comes,
a colorful tree.
When winter comes,
there are no leaves.
When spring comes, pink, pink!
Pink like spring, pinky-pink.

When we turn a year older
we expect to feel more mature
or grown up
but
growing up is more of a journey
than a sudden change
growing up is like climbing a giant mountain
even though you have a long way up,
you are still 11 points higher
Each point is you getting a little older each year
And all the hills in between the points
are the months and the weeks and the days
that are passing by
Standing at a new peak
means that you conquered hills of the year,
each day each week
each bad side, each happy side in year
All that memory from the past few years
while you were growing up, makes you, you.
A mountain reminds me or stuff reminds me that
each layer or hill or anything is just me
and what makes me in a journey of mine
Inspired by the story Eleven by Sandra Cisneros And the quote โ but they donโt understand about birthdays and what they donโt tell you is When youโre 11 youโre also 10 and nine and eight and seven and six and five and four and three and two and one. And when you wake up on your 11th birthday, you expect to feel 11 but you donโt.โ

Mom, you say all I can do is play games, right?
Why do you get angry over just that?
Don’t you know my IQ is 100?
Now, Iโm going to hate you, Mom.
Since you said your stomach hurts,
I bring you warm water and kimbap.
so why donโt you smile?
Now you are so annoying. I hate you,
Youโre so mean, I canโt stand you.

Rainbow, rainbow,
a rainbow with clouds,
such a pretty rainbow!
Butterflies flutter, flutter,
happy and glad.
Let’s look at the sky
and feel beautiful.
Even when we’re bored,
let’s cheer up and cheer each other on!

An apple so sweet
A nice tasty treat
With a bright red color
That shines on the tree.
The apple swiftly moves
with the leaves
