Let It Shine by Jayla L.

When you're having a bad day
With a dark, gloomy rain pouring cloud over your head,
Remember to let it shine.

When you're having a breath-taking day, and
You feel like you can say no more,
Remember to let it shine.

When you're having a sad day and you feel
Like you just can't let out a cry anymore,
Remember to let it shine.

Whether you're having a mad, sad, breath-taking
or stressful day,
Don't let all that's been going on get in your way.
Look past it all because life's too short
To be living that way-
All you gotta do is let it shine your way.

The Unknown by dahzmyoine

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate-
Our deepest fear is not knowing the unknown.
My deepest fear is not knowing what's going to happen next-
My deepest fear is loving you.

I hate when people say they love me,
Simply because everyone who has ever said they love me
Winded up leaving me.
I hate that most things are out of my hands-
If I could describe one word about myself it would be disoriented
I never know what I want.

My deepest fear is not me misunderstanding myself-
My deepest fear is being powerful beyond my own measures.

Coming Soon

We are a group of seven eighth grade girls and one outrageous teacher. We're starting this blog to express our feelings and share them with the larger world. Our hope is that people can better understand the life of a teenage girl, and that teen girls can be inspired to achieve.

Introducing the girls...

Ty'Shea - holds us up; she's our backbone

Lexus - the mama of the group, nurturing but firm

Dahzimyione - bubbly, giggly goofball

Jayla L. - passionate poet

Destony - wide-eyed and expressive

Aesha - our newest member, but not shy

Jayla S. - outspoken, emotional and...loud.

Ms. Yost - artistic, caring and a bit nerdy

One thing about all of us girls is that we're never afraid to speak our minds and let you know what we think.

Subscribe to our blog - you won't be disappointed with what we have to offer.
