They only see the outside: poems

Introducing a new me

Don't tell me

On the day my dog died

Talking to the mirror in the bathroom

We giggle the same

The fight

Goodbye Grandma

Ode to my stress ball

Something splendid

I heard you when you lied

If you have to say goodbye

J. T. never will be ten

Were you ever fat like me?

Even me

Countdown to recess

Homework

I called my teacher Mommy

A fire drill in my underwear

They put a band aid on my head

When they call me bad names

I will never crumble

When a friend moves away

I cannot leave on the last day of school

The shark on the playground

The most important time

Four wishes

The book that made Danny cry

Why I'm late for school

Looking in the mirror at Didn't Do

They only see the outside.
