She was a child with a naive mind. A little girl who saw no cruelty. Didn’t suspect bad in a single soul. Trusted everyone she’d meet. She was nine years old, still a kid. She was picked on by older girls. She was scared and cried every day. But she still had faith in the world. In fifth grade, she was more grown up. She crawled back up the social rope. Her teacher…
When I first met him there was a daisy tattooed on his neck. It screamed the beauty that I wish I could emit. He told me, tan hands wrapping around mine, that “the sun and the moon are one in perfect balance. Those that destroy have been destroyed in the past.” He would whisper in my ear the secrets of the light. The roses swooned for him, the clouds bowed to him with familiarity. The…
When I was a child, I was always fascinated by the water. My mom tells me that even as far back as when I was a baby, that I would stare, transfixed, into the swirling reflective liquid. Occasionally I even reached out my chubby little baby hand to touch the water, swirling it around and making eddies that rippled away to the other end of the bathtub.

When I first met him I was happy, I defined myself as content in the eyes of myself and others, I was content. I will say honestly that my life without him would not have changed drastically but he changed me, I was breathing before him, blinking, I was living before him. I don’t want to be the type of person to claim indifference, in fact I’m minimalist, without the desperate need for people like…
Bursting flames, explosions of sparks; Reborn. Every day is a new color, reds, greens, blues. Nobody knows who I am. Ashes and smoke cloud my features, nobody knows who I am. They fill my lungs and distort my voice, nobody knows who I am. Thousands of steps, millions of words, 14 years and the only thing that stayed the same are my eyes. Beautiful, Beautiful eyes. They say they’re beautiful because over the noise of…
Inspired by ‘When a Boy Tells You He Loves You’ by Edwin When she falls, she’ll hope someone – perhaps something, will care enough to answer her plead It’s two a.m., and she’s the only one awake, soaking her thoughts in her puddle of hopelessness as her pillow falls damp. Her voice falls short as she can’t even breathe out her words of expression: she is lonesome But when around other, she…

String lights lining one wall and a strobe light were the only forms of light in the room, transforming the cafeteria into an atmosphere of…
