I know I just posted an SU, but I've got a few things I want to share.
First, this is a good list of songs you should listen to (some of them have swears, just a heads-up):
Spoilerskin - acoustic by Jessica Baio
Emergency Contact by Haley Joelle
Just Fine by Em Beihold
Not Who We Were by Em Beihold
Can't Wait to Be Pretty by Cate
broke & lonely by Alexa Cappelli
Remember That Night? by Sara Kays
Devil by Sophie Pecora
Fingers Crossed by Lauren Spencer Smith
Flowers by Lauren Spencer Smith
Second thing:
In English, we're writing remembrance poems (free verse) for real children from the Holocaust (specifically Terezin). I just finished mine and wanted to share them. They contain sensitive topics, so just throwing that out there. They're short, but yeah. You can read their stories here: Reva Gabe Eduard Hornemann
Reva Gabe's poem--titled "Stronger":
SpoilerLife was happy, even bright
Until you came along
Took our homes and took our pride
Burned our Torah scrolls
You killed me at fifteen but
Ended my life three years before
But as long as you're remembered,
So will I be
As a girl who was murdered
At Hitler's mercy--of which there is none
So my swan song is this:
Let my legacy shine while yours tarnishes
I may be broken, but you are shattered
Because I am stronger than you ever were.Eduard Hornemann's poem--titled "Took it All but Got Nothing"
SpoilerTake away my mother
Take me and my brother
Prod us with needles
Necklace of rope
Strangle our hope
Strip us to the bone
But you will not win
We will not give in
If it's good versus evil,
We already know who prevails
If you win this battle,
You won't win the next.
And if they're my very last words,
I'll promise you that.Because of how intense and gruesome Eduard's story is, I wanted to be more vague with his poem. If I went into detail, I'm not sure it would be necessarily school-appropriate.
Which poem do you guys like better?
