To be me
Julie K. ----- 7th Grade
To be me is
To be *Gay*
To fall for girls way too fast
and way too hard
To speak two languages
To speak Hebrew at home
To have all my family in Israel
To have a great-grandma who escaped from a concentration camp
To be a reader
I want to read all the books
I want to take all the feelings and feel them
I want the book to hug me tight and not let go
I want to understand
To have school friends
Neighborhood friends
Israel friends
And family friends
To be impatient
To hate too many people
But to truly love the people I love
To wish on 11:11
To say if I make this shot she’ll like me back
To wish on a dandelion’s puff in the wind
To have a cat that died
To have a cat who meant more than anything else
And she’s gone
And she won’t come back
And you want to cry
To doodle everything on anything
People, eyes, cats, abstract
To draw hearts with my eraser
To be creative
To love myself
To be able to be Me

Something Lost but Never Found
Once there was an electric eel. He was living inside an old man’s head. He was giving electricity to the man’s brain to keep him alive. The old man opened up his head and put the eel in a fish tank. He was still alive. One day, someone took the eel out of the fish tank, so the old man lost his eel. The old man said, “Oh no! The eel is lost now. Oh great, my eel is gone.”
