Shane Volt Poem
change
is all so sudden
like a caterpillar
in their cocoon
wondering if
they will emerge as a beautiful butterfly
or suffocate in its
supposed coffin
or brand new
space to grow and learn

Shane Volt Poem
why do people fear
the arabic language?
the dense, complicated
sweet, athletic tounge language
that many people around the world
speak in
pray in
love in
what is there to
hate
fear
distrust
i don't understand.

Shane Volt Poem
i didn't like living in the house of my parents. i hated the constant stress and worrying that lay on my back as i fulfilled the duties of being their only son. i tried to make myself different from them, to distinguish that i was my own person, i wasn't the same people who judged, the loud persona holding people they were.
but then i looked into the family bathroom mirror. i looked at my hair- thick and curly. my father's bald now, but in his childhood pictures, he had the thickest, curliest hair to exist. i have my mother's temper and her eyes. me and my brother share the same sway back.
i'm just like my family.
