Amirah Santos Figueroa

I seem to be the golden strand,

stuck inside Mona Lisa’s hand.

But nobody seems to care

about Mona Lisa’s hair;

all that they care about is her stare.

 

Her stare reaches within the soul,

and everyone does what they are told.

They clean, wash, and work,

but I don’t seem to quirk.

 

I once was told that when I respect my work

others will.

 

But I don’t think they will until,

I raise my voice and stomp real big,

but all I see is a broken twig.

 

All the people that were there,

they seemed to vanish in thin air.

 

Whatever I had to say,

everyone ran away.

They left me in dismay.

 

No one gave me a single thought,

even though I gave it all I got.

 

I have this poem stuck in my head,

and I don’t even care if it goes unread.

Amirah Santos Figueroa, Photography & Graphics Editor
My name is Amirah Santos Figueroa, and I'm a sophomore here at iUniversity Prep. This is my 3rd year at iUP and this year I will be your Photography & Graphics Editor at iHoot! I am extremely excited to start this job as I thoroughly enjoy creating graphics and collaborating with other students. Some more things I love include photography/cinematography, reading/writing, cars, and collecting vinyl records. Outside of school you'll probably find me working out, traveling, and listening to music! I'm happy to be a part of iHoot this year as the Photography & Graphics Editor and can’t wait to read and assist you guys with your graphics and articles :)
