I wanna be like them

In my reading group, we were asked to research a topic and write a poem about it. Something that is meaningful & something that we are passionate about, I chose to write about society & how it affects our generation. Keep on reading if you would like to see my piece of writing!

I wanna be like them - Spoken word

Scrolling down your feed, comparing yourself to all these girls

“I want her figure, I want her dimples, I’m in love with her curls”

We all know how the media works

Telling us to love ourselves yet they criticize our quirks

& it somehow all comes back to our looks.

I wanna be like them

Society is constantly telling us that you have to look a certain way to be considered ‘pretty’

Right ?

Your dress has to be extra tight, show off your curves, a little bit of lipstick wouldn’t hurt

Thinking that if you don’t have the newest gears, or up with the latest trends

That’s an automatic red flag

Being defined & categorized by the label or amount on your price tag

I wanna be like them

We’re so caught up in what social media has to say

We compare ourselves to so many of these ‘instagram models’

We all wish for that ‘perfect figure’ but disappointed the next day

When realizing that it doesn’t work that way.

Filters, editing apps, we are all put under the influence

That beauty is all that matters, because if we depend on our looks

There’s no way we have to worry about our intelligence

I wanna be like them

Everybody thinks that beauty is purely physical

Yet we never thought about the beauty that comes within

So take a moment too realise that

And just let it sink into your skin

I know you hear me, but you don’t want to listen

I’m sure you hate this poem, & you have your own opinion

But know that I meant what I said

So get it through your head

You don’t have to be like them

I hope you enjoyed reading my poem, be sure to come back tomorrow for another blog post!

Sea Wall

Every Monday in class, we do quick write. We write a little 4 to 6 sentence story about an image that we are given by the teacher then 3 students or so will read their piece of work to the class, here's one of my writing pieces.

He was the last one standing, the rest of the sailors were already 5 feet under water. He was shivering, he only felt the cold breeze flowing throughout his uniform .. unsure of what to do only thinking about how much time he had left before the ship would of been completely under water. The sea was still, complete silence the seawater began to rise & it wouldn’t stop. All fell down, the ship as well as all of the sailors did not survive.

Hopefully you enjoyed reading my quick write, & surely you'll be inspired to write your own. Come back tomorrow for another blog post!

I am poem

In class we had the choice to either create an I am poem, or a bio poem. I chose to make an I am poem, here it is :)

I am Anaysha Puaga

I wonder what career i'm going to have after i attend college

I see children in my future

I want to try my best since it’s my last year in intermediate so i have options for college

I hear my parents everyday telling me to prioritize my learning

I am Anaysha Puaga

I pretend i like math *i really don’t*

I feel joy when i get over 80 answers right in my spelling test

I touch the rugby ball when im playing ‘held’

I worry that i will struggle throughout college

I cry when someone so smart decides to leave the littlest amount of milk
back in the bottle once their done :(

I am Anaysha Puaga

I understand that not everything is going to go my way

I say i would rather do writing all day instead of doing math for one block

I dream about what i’m going to eat for breakfast the following day

I hope camp is fun

I am Anaysha Puaga

Hopefully this inspired you to make your own,
& come back tomorrow for another blog post! Have a good day :)
