      June 6, 2014QuestionsSavion Harris

      Written while homeless
      with his mom

      Who am I?
      Where do I belong?
      Do I have a home?
      What color are my
      eyes? What color
      is my hair?
      Do I even
      have hair?
      What type of
      color clothes
      do I wear?
      Am I a boy or a girl?
      I’m not sure, you tell
      me. Or can you? ’Cause
      I’m not even sure if
      I exist.

      from 2014 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because it gives the reader something to think about. I write not to give the reader my opinion, but to fit their opinion in, and they can take it for themselves. It is not for me to tell what the meaning is. My poems are meant to give meaning to each individual reader, for the mind of a reader is wondrous.”
