Poems
Just Because I’m Tall by Hannah Fabiszewski Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I am a model
Or a b-ball coach’s dream come true
I am a regular fourteen-year-old teenage girl. Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I want to be asked my exact height
Or my exact age
I don’t owe it to a stranger to tell them. Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I am five-years older than I look
Or I have graduated from college in seventh grade
I am just tall for my age. Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I can legally drink alcohol
Or I would like a glass of wine at dinner
I can’t drink for another seven years. Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I am lucky
Or you should be jealous of my height
Being tall isn’t as fun as it may seem. Marfan Syndrome by Amy Striker Marfan syndrome is a type of genetic condition That cannot be diagnosed by simply one test. To help make the diagnosis you need a physician Which you hope is one of the best. Of course the most important organ involved is the heart, But one also must study the eye. The cardiac system is a great place to start, And I’m sure that you’re wondering why. The cause is weakened connective tissue, Which may lead to aortic dissection. If rupture occurs it is quite a big issue, And not just a simple imperfection. The are ways to keep healthy and prevent complications, You must limit vigorous activities and take your medications. Poem by Andrea Witte
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will break my heart. Poem by Eric G.
this life is one of the best.
i am not like the rest.
i have a little problem wrong with me.
but i am not afraid for an1 to see.
i have a genetic tissue disorder.
i'm living life on the border.
i will never let this hold me down.
i feel like i'm always running around.
a new doctor here a new doctor there.
i'm always traveling around everwhere.
to find a cure, to find an answer.
just like the people diagnosed with cancer.
i will rise above the rest.
living life to the very best. Poems by Kristal Melendez
Obsession
Curious brown eye
Your sweet scent all around me
Your voice calling my name
The butterflies make themselves known
Brownies made by Andrea
I love everything about him Excitement
Excitement is red
Excitement tastes like sugar sticks
Excitement smells like Italian food
Excitement feels like kissing someone
Excitement looks like a puppy
Excitement sounds like laughter
