Library of Peace
Here I am
Sitting in my library of peace
Watching the books reside on the shelves
Some of them with different colors
Some of them with funny names
Each one with a different story.
Sitting here
In my library of peace
I decide that the books are people
Forced to exist in the same world
Despite their different colors
And funny names
And different stories
All making the best of their world
That’s what I think
As I’m sitting here
In my library of peace.

I think this is your best poem on TeenInk. You have a message. You have meter. You have flow. You have a beginning, middle and end.
You have a poem.
I think that this should have been printed in the magazine. I think that you should submit this elsewhere, if you haven't already, and I think you should keep submitting it and submitting it and submitting it until it gets the recognition it deserves.
