We are off to a great start! We have written Where I am From poems, created visual images of who we are and spent time mining our stories for gold with author, Kelly Starling Lyons.
Today we wrote in response to James Baldwin's poem "Some Days". Below you will find some of our favorite lines we write today about "Some Days"
Some days I wish I had a time traveler to go back in time and change my mistakes.
Some days my fears and thoughts crawl up into my head and I know I've lost the battle when I'm curled up in a puddle of my own rain drops. (Maria P.P.)
Some days I fear the end is near.
Some days the world feels like it's not turning.
Some days the world can be your worst enemy. (Paala)
Some days you need a break from all the stress and headaches. (Mikayla B.)
Some days you'll be forced to stand alone. (Priscah)
Some days I feel like I'm unworthy of anyone's love. But other days I feel I deserve all the love in the world. (Kelli F.)
Some days I wonder when my life will truly be my life. (Kyesha C.)
Some days energy makes me lazy. (Trey)
Some days you reminisce the past things you have done, things to be proud of. (Cruz)
Some days are upsetting, forcing me to persevere through them. (Akin)
Some days you are faced with different things which come along with different emotions. (Shanika)
Some days aren't like others. (Ty)
Some days I want to skip through a bed of flowers and lay in it with a blank mind. (Itzel)
