There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.

I am Hannah, The Devi'ls Arithmetic

So, Here's the rundown. For literature we are reading a book called The Devil's Arithmetic. This book is about the Holocaust. I wanted to write a poem about the main character, Hannah.

I am fearless, and determined.
I wonder if I will die in the camps.
I hear the screams of all of the other Jews in the camps.
I see flashes of my life, back in New Rochelle.
I want to get out of the camps, and be back home.
I dream of my life back home.
I worry that I will be stuck in these camps until the day I die.
I am Hannah, strong and brave.
