Left of Center

By Teen Writers Guild of Piscataway

Left of Center - Left of expectations, left of society, left of the fabrications sewn into our youth that we are not to speak about our dreams, that we are not to write about our tragedies, that we are not to conquer the voices that told us, "no", "You can't do that", "You can't say that." But we did. Through "Left of Center," we broke those expectations, and shattered societal norms as we debunk the stigma. And so we speak. We write. We conquer the repression of our inner voice. We are left of center.~ Writers Guild Member - Siv BjorgeTeenagers bound by a society that dictates their wellbeing, as to tell them who to be, who not to be, what to say, and what not to say, we've grown tired. A liar at heart, a pretender in the flesh, has grown tired of surrounding herself in lies that forces people to see her as someone she's not. Told to hide her vulnerability by society and herself, it's grown to be a burden. But now, she colored herself the color of honesty, to tell the world that it's okay to not be smiling all the time and that it's okay to say what you're truly feeling. A book filled with joy, grief, rage, and pleasure, blending together into a book of pure and nonconforming honesty.~ Writers Guild Member - Aliya Kazi
