Leibour Law Poem
Leaves red like my hair
Harsh winds blow with the season's start
Scarves tighten around necks

Leibour Law Poem
For hours I sit sealed away in my room
Free from the world if only temporarily
These four walls know me better than I know myself
my mirror always a silent observer but a constant reminder of my solitude.
I look out my window and am greeted by the world I want to escape from
A dull town that knows no progression
knows nothing of nourishing the life of the party
I close the blinds as I fall back to my bed with disdain
I experience moments of unconsciousness as I long for the places I'd rather be
I look out my window and remind myself why I love to be alone
Seclusion is my keeper yet my worst enemy

Leibour Law Poem
I Am
By Leila Bourne, grade 12
I am Leila
I am melancholy and empowered
I wonder about the dreams of suffering refugees
I hear the twinkling of pixie dust over a young child’s fading innocence
I see atmospheric potions and elixirs
I want everlasting freedom and the power to grant it
I am melancholy and empowered
I pretend that all of the world can find peace, even though people like Donald Trump exist
I feel the dancing souls of those who dared to stand out
I touch the thoughts of those deterred from following their dreams
I worry about the intentions that America has for those it has tried to smother
I cry for all the young people sent to war to fight a battle their elders started
I am melancholy and empowered
I understand that freedom is not real and some children will never look up at the sky and find serenity
I say that the idea that we are all the same is poisonous because everyone deserves to be seen as an individual and unique
I dream that little kids who look like me can one day see me and feel like they have someone to look up to.
I try to think of ways I can be the change that those babies need to see in the world
I hope for a meaningful life that will be able to soothe the aches of the ones I chose to love
I am melancholy and empowered
I am Leila

Leibour Law Poem
It's hard to find sweetness,
In a world so bitter.
Unforgettable pain and violence.
Tarnishing the lives of many,
To satisfy the power pangs of a few.
It's hard to find warmth,
From a heart so cold.
Indescribable loneliness and hopelessness.
Guarding the wronged,
To protect from further corruption.
It's hard to find any nutrients,
In a land so forgotten.
Unwarranted destruction and degradation.
Excavating to discover anew,
To achieve a bigger coin.
It's hard to find love,
In a soul so unforgiving.
Life changing heartbreak and heartache.
Unreliable feelings toward man,
To take heed and see if you can still feel.

Leibour Law Poem
When I dream, I dream of the Open Sea.
The multiple ecosystems harboring of all forms of life.
The freezing temperatures as one descends further and further.
No one will truly know all of the Sea's secrets
They are as vast as the sea itself.
Every cave, every crevice, and every pocket holds a new tale
never to be told.
We all know this, yet we continue to search for the key.
We search for anything to tell us the Sea's story.
Every now and then the waters will part and a story is told
Each new development leaving those in wonder of the next
We will never know the Sea's true beauty.
However that in itself is beautiful alone.
