1. "I hope" by
This poem was... beautiful. It made us tear up--and honestly, it was just so important. This is what everyone needs to hear in their lives--feel free to find this poem in the comments of the previous contest, or in her book by the same title as the poem (it's in our winner's reading list, which you should just in general check out to be honest) because it.is.amazing. :)
2. "Ode to Myself" by
Also amazing! In this poem, we loved... just everything about it. The lines flowed together so well, there weren't any parts that weren't necessary, and it's clear you'd put a lot of work into the poem--both technically and artistically, it was amazing. (Plus also being really impactful and moving.)
3. and
Okay, we loved both of these poems so much that we had to give you a tie. Because we're soft like that. If you wrote "migration" we loved how you wrote about an important issue. It wasn't what we were expecting in terms of how people would interpret the prompt, but in a good way--it took us by surprise, and it made us feel something, and it shone light on something that the world really needs to remember. And if you wrote "Paper Birds" you are an amazing human being who deserves to be smushed in a hug for eternity—this poem was beautiful and moving. Both of these poems were so well-done!
All of these entries were literally so good and choosing was SO hard. Ideally, we would have a place for all of you so we could just shout your amazingness out into oblivion because seriously, you're awesome. There was not a single entry in this contest that wasn't amazing. We can't stress enough how good writers you all are--and we mean all

This is a My Hero Academia fan fiction. This character is not in the anime she is of my own creation. I wanted to create something original so I came up with this. A girl, not knowing what here past wakes up in a unfamiliar place. A brother who she never has met and a world she never knew Existed. With many twist and turns she finds out the truth about her forgotten past that she never would have thought of. Also there is a little abuse and drinking involved with the plot so be aware of that and also there is a death too. Little Manga Spoilers if MHA too. ☺️
