A Perfect Picture

by BK, Santa Cruz

I would take a picture of me and my friend, my little brother and stepdad (AKA Ramon) while the background’s a beautiful sunset with an owl in the background. And aguachile as the food. My fave book is “Charlotte’s Web.” 

My fave view was being in the mountains and the view was the sun in the middle of the woods and it was yellow, pink. My journey’s crazy. I’d met people I never think I’ll stop talking to. My mom doesn’t really care about anyone, so I just had to learn to not care. My dad taught me that in a way. She doesn’t hit up my dad unless she needs a car to sleep in. She doesn’t care to check up on my little brother but I’m not trippin’. I think I got the whole mother role in hand even though he misses her. 

Anyways I’m happy. I’m just tryna bring what’s around me to be happy, too. What I think about my picture, I think it’s reasonable, I think it’s a pretty good picture. I don’t know how else to explain it. Words can’t explain it at all, but it’s perfect.
