Do I terrify?
You may kill me with your hatefulness.
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I think I know enough of hate.
Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
But I, with silent tread,
I celebrate myself.

Emmanuela Eneh is a third-year English Major at University Park. She writes: “My hobbies include gaming when I should probably be asleep, scrolling through fanfiction, and wishing that the bending from Avatar: The Last Airbender existed. When I write poetry, I try to use tidbits of my own experiences as a jumping off point for all the words.”
