Inspired by the theme ‘Celebrating Our Roots’, St Catherine’s student Jessica Greenhough came second in the 9–12 year group of Seventh Annual Poetry Competition to celebrate National Poetry Day.
Poetry winner
You don't bother me
When I see you looking at my face I know what you're thinking Half cast or mixed race?
Well I'll tell now I'm no half of anything
You ask me silly questions about my race
There you are again looking at my face
Your nasty laughs echo through my brain
Through one ear and out again
See what you don't know
Is that I realise that your silly laughs and tormenting eyes
Are just a cover that you shall keep
Because really you don't know anything
About my colour and me!!!
