2013 Youth Poetry Contest Perception: From Me There he is The really funny kid, Loves to have fun, Just like a normal boy, Yet he’s not normal, He is special, He is his own person. He thinks he’s weak, But yet, he is strong, He can never break. He is nice, Never the mean, He can always help. The fun one, The scary one The caring one, There he is, As tough as a rock No one can break him. Mitchel Guardado Grade 7, Edison Middle School

Only there are large rocks blocking the stream, creating ripples, letting only a minimum amount of water through. Letting the rest waste away. Desperately waiting to dry up. stream So young children don’t be blinded by the light. be prepared for what really is. There is a overpopulated world out there, A LOT of people share the same dream as you. Life is tough. Take caution in the stream. Meghan Tucker Grade 7, Jackson Middle School
