- A poem by: Jennie Camile
Disenchanted

Vertical in body
Horizontal in spirit
Overuse the word “Sorry”
No one will believe you when they hear it
Yet again
Invisible on the highway
Hugging curves you’ve been dealt
Weekend quickly became Monday
Today, feeling things you’ve never felt
Yet again
You see images that bring you straight to tears
Power over anything outside of oneself seems so wrong
To take any being’s life is an action laden with fear
To take a life, well it doesn't make one strong
Innocence is threatened when your scope of view is expanded
It's a daily struggle, but don't ever let yourself become disenchanted
Loving in heart
Misunderstood in body
They will pick you apart
If you refuse to be a carbon copy
In the end
Bright and vivid distraction
Swatted away like a fly buzzing
No acceptance and no compassion
Pegged the ugly duckling
In the end
You see past human form and into souls
You see value in the darkness, void of light
Willing to pull anyone out of their self dug holes
Still no one’s here to help dig you out tonight
We cannot expect what we are willing to give
But don’t you dare let that leave you disenchanted
Hold on tight to that amazing spark
You will need it when days go dark
Remember those hands that have lifted you when you thought you were stranded
There are many more like them, just believe in humanity and never become disenchanted
