What’s on the other side of suffering?
How do we hold hope
when our hands are tired
and our hearts are broken
when we feel misunderstood
judged
carrying the burden of someone else’s ignorance
what can be seen when you look up ahead
do you see the light
do you feel it
are you scared to take a step
I am too
but we see it
we know it’s there
the energy pulls us forward
first hands
arms
heart and feet
now steady
electrified
with the star brilliant light
guiding us
pretending to be the nightsky – Lori Lux Fearless Writers Intern 2020 – 2021

Let’s walk to the edge of the forest
I know it’s dark out here
follow me
there is a golden path
deep among the trees
that will pull us in
will draw out the light
and shine upon our faces
then let’s gather it up
take it along
and spread it behind
leaving stepping stones of light
for others to follow – Lori Lux – Fearless Writers Intern 2020 – 2021

As a human thinketh
Be as one in your mind with a positive mindset. Go beyond the clouds, strive to be the best, believe that all things can be done through Christ that strengthens you. As a human thinketh in their heart, so are they. Meaning a human being is literally what they think they are because of their thoughts. Amariano Williams Rogers High School 2020-2021
Discrimination
The world would be perfect without discrimination. If people weren’t always judging others I think that discrimination has a major effect on humans. Discrimination is a negative way to bring down on a person’s way of looking at themselves. If people begin uplifting each other than everyone wouldn’t need to worry about discrimination.

youth is speeding past me
quicker with each white hair
that sprouts on my head
I’m not ready
and yet
I’ve always been an old soul
one who prefers a quiet solitude
to trampoline jumps and squeals
I worry about dying
I’m not ready
and yet
each day I age
there is no fountain of youth
but remember that life is a rendezvous
I tell myself
and I’ve got somewhere to be – Lori Lux Fearless Writers Intern 2020 – 2021

Close your eyes
settle your feet on the ground
and straighten your spine
lift your face to the source of light near you
slowly breathe through your nose
what do you smell and where does it take you?
let the breath out slowly
bring your awareness to your ears
what do you hear and where does it take you?
notice your skin
what do you feel and where does it take you?
release your tongue from the roof of your mouth
what do you taste and where does it take you?
Again, slow deep breath through your nose
open your eyes anew
what do you see and where will it take you? – Lori Lux Fearless Writers Intern 2020 – 2021

It hurts to acknowledge the truth. Truth makes us uncomfortable and it brings things to the light , that we wished didn’t exist. Is it better to unknown or known to the truth? How do we accept the truth when our whole life was based on on a lie. Is it bad to not want to know the truth and just continue on with false reality that was once built in us? Where do we go now from here , with the truth just in my face. Dai’Ja Banks- Fearless Writers Intern 2020-2021
What do you see?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What do you see in your heart? How does the world view us? What do we actually see inside of each other? What are you looking for? How will you know that you found it? Dai’Ja Banks- Fearless Writers Intern 2020-2021
One day we will all be together. All for one,one for all. We will stand together and no hate will live here. It will be nothing but love and happiness. Hugs and smiles to greet each other. There is no place for hate,only love. Dai’Ja Banks- Fearless Writers Intern 2020-2021
the truth fell from the cosmos
landed with a glittering crash
on the sidewalks of subsidized housing
in the schoolyards
on the backs of immigrant workers
they felt the impact
grabbed jars and ran
scooped up what remained
holding in clutched hands
jars of sparkling truth
wondering
who let it go
and how do we find all the pieces – Lori Lux Fearless Writers Intern 2020 – 2021
