Queer as Folk

Kameran Rogers | Grade 8 Commodore John Rodgers

When he walks by I feel a sensation My eyes light up like Sirius I can’t decipher what makes him unique Let me not let my mind wander

I will always be an Also-ran Cause at the end of the day He will choose her over me I can’t make him what he’s not

I feel like a clown with a painted face All I can do is just watch from afar As he falls in love in with someone Who isn’t me

I’m pleading for his attention But he’s blinded by her fake charisma Being lured in by a beautiful siren I hate her for leaving me in last place

I always try to go in depth with him Showing parts of me I show to no other Yet it’s not the enough I’m not enough

I’m just torturing myself Having to face the prince and cinderella Knowing there's nothing I can do or change To make him fall in love with me

My love will always be unrequited All I can do is watch him shine from afar And surrender myself to isolated Which leaves me a loose leaf

The History of Love

Chazzy | Grade 7 The New Century School

Love originated over 200 million years ago,during the Triassic and the earliest Jurassic periods. Love back then was meant for food. The word love originated from the European root which means desire.

Now, love means that you like someone more than a friend. Love is a good thing and a bad thing. The ups about love some people find love and first sight others dating apps etc. The downs now people don’t ask people if they like them or if they feel the same about them because if they do or they don’t like them they will either get mad or sad with the person. Love can be a good feeling when another person feels the same you feel.

Extra facts: Different variations of love

Two brothers can love each other like family like how a lot of families love each other.

A mother and son can love each other with affection at the same time.

A cat and a dog can love each other as best friends and spend time together.

Love is a strong bond between two people. When my mom lost her dad near Christmas he died in his house and she never let him go. She always says that she feels his spirit in our house and everywhere we go and I believe her. According to Christine Tran from Factinate,

“When Queen Victoria of England was widowed, she was utterly convinced that her beloved Albert didn’t truly leave her. For 30 years, Victoria would hold seances to get in touch with her consort’s spirit. The queen even wanted to publish the notes on their conversations, but her secretary had to put his foot down and stop that potential PR nightmare.”
