Student Poets at Gilbert High School

The students at Gilbert High School express themselves through art and poetry. Here’s a poem from a anonymous student writer.

Realism

I used to think 

I couldn’t be a poet 

Because a poem is soulful and tempestuous

In one moment your distress, sorrowful even jocular

Unveiling your inner self

Or your outer happiness

Into the ears of whom care to listen 

Who will suddenly understand 

My feelings and many others 

Of the guilt we’ve had.
