When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, and then sit back and let the world wonder how on earth you did it.


I don’t like the mirror in the corner.


When I look in the mirror,
All I see is
A better, version
Of myself.
What I am
Supposed to be.
They don’t get it.
It’s hard for me
To just keep
With the flow.
Because I’m not
Good at anything
Except my writing
And my music


Tomorrow, I’m going
To try again
I’ll show my poems
(Except this one)
And I’ll keep playing
Because when I
Sit down at the piano,
My worries disappear
But I don’t have
A piano in here
I just have a
Stupid mirror

Tomorrow I will
Smash that mirror

This is about expectations at a school for the gifted that I'm not sure I can live up to.
