    INVISIBLE

    Poetry Category Winner
    INVISIBLE
    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.

    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 :)
