What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Dark

Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Left orphaned and fighting
The suffocating wild.

I am not an animal
To be left whipped in a cage,
A mustang left chained
At a flagpole of hate.

My dreams are haunted
By visions of flying leagues
Past the overcast pall
Of the noose next to my neck.

All this, for I want to be human
A dream I will swallow
And guard in my veins
Though you cut out my heart
The love still remains.

    I like this...was this inspired by McKnight's class?

    Yea definitely. All these movies about slavery and the black struggle are so depressing. Its amazing how strong these people were, for hundreds of years. I can't imagine all of that pain, but I guess that's what I tried to to.
