Clarissa Ramos, a high school student still finding her place in the world, gives us a glimpse into her world through her meaningful poetry.
I write poetry because prose doesn’t satisfy me

Poetry is loud, devastatingly silent, love, hate, sadness, joy, and always alive
Poetry is emotion
Prose is someone’s take on emotions
Prose is cold-hard facts
Poetry is the human condition
“Poetry is the human condition”
