Let’s Combine Our Verses
Let’s combine our verses,
Instead of “me versus you.”
Let’s combine our verses,
For in this poem
Our words will be true.
And what we share appeals to me
As much as it does to you,
For we’re all alike in that we’re human,
And feeling each other’s pain
Is what we must do.
Like how we must burn our mouths
To taste the stew.
Oh, now you know I’m joking,
But it still rings true:
Let’s combine our verses,
Instead of “me versus you.”

Lauren is a senior at Freehold High School, eager to be entering her third year as a writer for The Colonial's literary magazine and her second year as an editor. An avid reader, she is also a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys knitting when she can find the time. Despite her place in the Medical Sciences program, she foresees a career in neither medicine nor science - and would rather study English, creative writing, and music in college. If she wrote a novel that one day became a widely beloved classic, that would be pretty nice too.
