Staring into the eyes of my brother, all I could feel was hatred. Our Father was an amazing King and ruler, and he had to give his crown to this pretentious, good-for-nothing, boy! At this point I can’t wait to be courted, just so I could leave this cold-hearted pig behind.

“These people are just taking up space on the sides of our roads. If they weren’t killed by our soldiers, they would hav...

There was a collective gasp of dread and concern.

“I’m fine. It’s not my blood,” but I wasn’t really fine. I watched a suicided during our own homecoming football game. I couldn’t stop it. I was only six feet away when the gun went off, and I couldn’t do anything. I was useless.

I walked away from the front door. Leaving my parents behind with their jaws dropped, as I headed straight for the show...

The weight of the world

Carried by a hero.

With a sword by their side

And their alter ego.

They stand tall and proud

Fighting by day and night.

For us and the whole world

Based on what they think is right.

A long, hard journey is traveled by far,

Having left friends and loved ones for gone.

A tear slips, the attacker pierced their heart,

And yet their legacy still lives on....

I grab my sister’s hand, and pull her to the cliffs edge with me. She nods slowly in my direction. Then we jump. Taking in as much air as possible, we fall faster and faster. We are picking up speed as we watch the waves below us, crashing into the shore. The white wave tops fading back into the water, like stars in the night sky.

As we get closer and closer to the thrashing waves below, I start ...

There were so many things that happened on my birthday last year. I couldn’t for the life of me tell you what happened that was worse over everything else. I was turning fifteen and I’ve never had luck, so the beginning of my day started off as such.

My mom’s god awful singing woke me up, and it was to the tune of happy birthday. Mom made me a wonderful breakfast. It was buttermilk pancakes, with...

“What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve believed?” was the hardest question I’ve ever had to answer for a quiz grade. We had to right a five paragraph essay about it, and today my mind was messing with me because I couldn’t focus on anything. Today was not the day to have my focus else where. The essay the next day, and I wrote about four to six sentences. I’ve always been an over thinker, so it ...

It’s the last time I’m able to visit my best friend. At least that was our label the last time we talked. I never told him I loved him when we were kids, because I’ve never had an opportunity. I wanted to tell him at a time I felt was right, but so far I haven’t found the right one.

It’s upsetting because I was a coward. I never told him because I was afraid of what he would think. I never thought...

Just any normal day of high school right? Wrong! It just so happens that I’m in the 3rd floor bathroom, having my second anxiety attack today, and it’s only fourth period. I need to get over it, but it’s hard knowing that the person you cared for the most killed them selves the day before their birthday. Who would think this was all my fault too.

My best friend Alice was the most well rounded pers...
