People lurk in shadows as well. Not willingly, not because of spite, but because there is no room. They aren’t told this, that is the point, no one tells them.

Someone looked in my direction, and I thought I would cry, so I walked over to him. We sat in a dim lit room and chattered until it was time to go. And I was once again invisible....

It’d been years and Peter had always wondered where the ship had sailed. Years of traveling over open waters—chanting sea-shanties had all taken them to this. It was futile. The men he knew behaved as though they were gods. It seemed to Peter that they were the brawniest and the wittiest men who’d ever lived…all for this.

Peter had walked the plank hundreds of years ago. Every one of his crew ma...

On Tuesday evenings I go to the chapel

I stand and sing and I miss you

I gaze upon the moon that seeps through the glass window-

And ponder upon my existence.

Your tidal hair

pulls back your lashes-

but you are shadowed

cornered by enigma.

I don’t know you-

not really

my thoughts tug you into the mystery of the night

sitting you in the far pews of the chapel

I can’t see you-

no,

but time is non...

Death comes to grab us

Sometimes unexpectedly

Or we call death ourselves

when broken and lonely

And other times we know,

when death is coming

So it’s another birthday for you

You’re excited to grow old

What have you done?

You’re growing

No adventure has been stamped upon your soul

You’re blinded by the norms of society—

like most

I don’t want you to die,

With an unlived life.

Anyway enjoy ...

I didn’t believe. How in the world would we make it up there, to an infinite dimension. He told me to believe, that’s all I had to do. Deep breath in, deep breath out, believe. It was us, him and I, together as one. We had the power within us to fly. Two people of another kind. Inside of a field our foreheads touched, our eyes closed, our hearts began to beat as we took off.

No one looks at the rain

like she does

Every drop of water

has a soul

Every roar of thunder

declares it’s power

To her

the ocean is a brother—

the wind is a friend

If you look deep into her eyes,

you won’t miss the beauty of

nature

Everything indicated “small”

she perceives as “everything”

There is no

In between

And she’s never fallen in love

because her spirit is unlike

any other

Her brain’...

We were a paradox, connected and separated in one heart. Our love gleeful yet unsatisfying. We were together and alone. When I hated him, he loved me. When he hated me, I loved him. I’ve always wondered how we lasted so long in our maze. My friends would always say, “Opposites attract,” but we weren’t opposite. We were both merely similar in our differences. The two of us, walking self-contradicti...

It was exactly 5 o’clock when Lucas Daniels and I walked to the park. The stop was only a few blocks away from our school, by the kindergarten classes. It wasn’t our first time, everyday we’d venture to the giant willow tree to chew on snacks, jam to our own trashy music, write stories, and create dreams. We sucked at reality, so we created our own. Him and I were complete nerds who ran around in ...
