Mundelein High School - Voices Magazine - 2020
This magazine is the culmination of hundreds of submissions from the students of Mundelein High School. Our editing staff spent the entire year choosing pieces to be published. Normally, we would also be publishing some of our school's phenomenal artwork as well, but due to the COVID-19 closure, we were not able to gather the artwork to vote on.

“This is a Photograph of Me”
Colin Nacion
sometimes it feels as though it was just yesterday.
other times it feels like forever ago.
seeing myself in the reflection of the crystal-like body.
how hard it is to hold that cute yet cool pose without grinning,
until i get lost in the beauty of the water.
the wind blows my hair and covers my face synced to the camera’s shutter.
and despite their annoyance,
i can’t help but break character.
it feels as though it was just yesterday.
seeing our smiles in the photo.
the beautiful second attempt.
seeing the gorgeous sunset in the background;
lilac married to a glowing tangerine,
with lines of crimson echoing throughout.
the same crimson that our eyes reflected with pure happiness.
the most fun day ever.
it feels like forever ago.
(then i got that dreaded phone call.
the one i was supposed to be distracting myself from.)
it feels like forever ago,
when the sun finally set and i plunged into darkness.
but when i close my eyes on this bed,
i see a similar light.
Like before the sun had set.
it feels as though it was just yesterday,
when i finally got up,
and walked towards that light.
and the angels took me home.
