Alone I lie upon these shining sands
The echoes of the ocean at my feet
Away from all the beach-adoring fans
The rising sun whispers she’ll stay with me.
Alone I dance with ever rising waves
The salty breeze whips at my sunburnt skin
Internal music running through my veins
A better place my mind has ever been
Alone I sit as people soon arrive
The shrieking children mimic seagulls’ call
I kiss my...
The revelation
Was my condemnation
Was a realization
One I didn’t need
I was somewhat surprised
When I really realized
I could open my eyes
And see
Watched an arrow soar
“You were such a bore,”
Yet maybe you longed for more
More than I longed for thee
My dreams weren’t pretend
When reality ends
My regards I will send
Send it all for free
I’d pay any price
Love will never suffice
But I’d still ...
The world revolves around me
Or so I like to believe
Surely, if I died today
The world would never be the same
The world revolves around you
Something you might believe, too
If you suddenly die tomorrow
The world would fill with sorrow
The world like to play tricks
They leave scars that tend to stick
We think the world revolves around us
“In this world, my life is a must.”
But without humanity,...
Soon my feelings will reach Him somehow, and I dread the day.

It was late September, freshman year of high school, and I was the luckiest girl in the world.
“Maddie, luck is not real. There is no such thing.” My father said, shaking his head at my naivety.
The next day, my English teacher sat me right next to Him. Oh the seating chart… I think it made both him and I want to cry out. (Me out ...
I think you know. I could see it in your eyes. The confusion when I purposefully missed you, multiple times. The fear in mine when you purposefully didn’t miss me, knowing I couldn’t fight back.
Do you know the predicament I’m in?
It’s agonizing, and it’s all your fault.
I think that if my Momma saw what I was doing, she would laugh and laugh. Laugh at my inability to even be a decent villain. La...
We are constantly searching
Searching for a clue
“If I can’t find the answer,
Oh, what will I ever do?”
We are constantly looking
Looking in the past
“The solution isn’t the future,
For it is always called upon last.”
We are constantly growing
Growing out of touch
“Friendship seemed once priceless,
But naivety isn’t worth much.”
We are constantly turning
Turning our heads away
“Becoming a bysta...
I wake with a start.
My Mommy is shaking me, yelling for me to pack my things. Pack, and pack fast.
Instantly, my nerves start to buzz. “Where are we going?” I ask, sitting up.
We have to leave, leave, leave now. She pauses briefly to look at me. Fear.
I don’t get an answer, but I realize that wherever we are going is very important to be packing so urgently. I throw some clothes into a half-fille...
Except for me, of course. I noticed, and I take pride in the fact that you did too.
You walk up to one nearby, peering at it closely. Once you realize that it’s clearly fake, you look around at other tourists, wondering if you’re dreaming. Confused eyes convey unspoken questions. I want to answer them; I want to answer every question you have.
I slink farther into the shadows. For someone who noti...
