Why so Judgmental? (2016)

I wrote this for a college event for National Coming Out Day.

 

Look here, I’m queer

Don’t steer clear

Have no fear

Embrace this atmosphere

 

I like art

Pretty smart

Have lots of heart

So why depart?

 

Don’t judge with one glance

Just give me a chance

Come on let’s dance

This music has me in a trance

 

You look at me weird

But this is how I’m engineered

I did not volunteer

I just appeared

 

We are not in an exam

I shouldn’t have to draw a diagram

I love who I am

Can you tell me the same fam?

 

 

Time (2010)

This was featured in a student artwork book when I was in middle school.

 

If only we could go back in time.

We could fix all our mistakes, wrong choices, and reactions.

Then we could be perfect.

 

But now that I think about it,

Would it be a good thing to be perfect?

Isn’t it what makes us human - to be imperfect?

 

We will have to

See what time brings us.

Maybe it will bring us the power to time travel,

Maybe not.

Whatever the answer,

I hope it will be good for humanity.
