2009 Poetry Contest Winner
Reflections
I look in the mirror and look around,
I don’t like the way this sounds,
There are people that always hate,
They Don’t have a productive fate.

I look in the mirror and look around,
There are many cultures I have found,
Spanish, Italian, and Asian,
Or even French, African, and Caucasian.

I look in the mirror and look around,
We have things in common like the way we sound,
When people think color matters,
All dreams start to shatter.

No matter what raises your head high,
As you gaze into the faithful sky,
All that matters is that you are you,
When worst comes to worst, be true.

by Diana Sciancalepore
