I feel as though my feelings are muted
Covered under the brightest of flowers
Tangled in a mess of pitch black hair
A piercing scream
It stabbed my ears
I turn to a pile of drawings
It fumes at me.
“Your mothers tears”
“Your fathers back”
“Two disappointed eyes”
I cut them off
With a lighter
The drawings
quietly burn
the whispers
slipping I
waited and
watched confused
I have never ...
His gaze is uncertain
Is he looking at me or the board?
Soft voices whisper in my head
“Perhaps you look over and check?”
Right, and be creepy
Eternity stretches out to
Timeless space
The teachers voice fades out
Yet I will make sure my
Eyes never leave the board
You don't know how fast the
End of class
Slips into view...
But It was my rock
It wasn’t the kind
You’d get in your sock
Or something you could find
Anytime anywhere
I should’ve protected it
Not leave it on a chair
Right where my sister would sit
Down on my dear friend
A murder before my very eyes
Cracks too deep to mend
This was the worst birthday surprise
(It was a child grieving over the death of his pet rock 😀👍 Idk why I write stuff li...
I was on my merry way to deliver some goodies to my (although wonderful) deathly sick grandmother.
Prancing through the forest and letting my red cloak brush against my legs, I had heard a low menacing growl behind me, I was so surprised I dodged and jumped right off the pathway and rolled into a dark and damp sink hole! It must’ve been deep because I fell for a long while.
I had some time to ...
“One marigold please.”
The voice startled Jane, she looked up from the flowers she was tending to the man. He came every single day with an almost blinding crooked grin.
“Welcome to the cattail boutique and also, hello again sir.” She answered him with a laugh and picked out his flower from the assortment of bright colors with a flourish. “One quarter for the marigold, I’ll have one ready for y...
Rupert was so wonderfully kind and very very big for a goldfish. So the tears that he cried every single day would be almost the size of her head!
His tears were made of glass and so they sunk to the bottom of the tank making a pile of ‘Prince Rupert’s Tears.’
That’s why he was named Rupert.
She always felt very bad when she saw him because of how sad he must be everyday.
So she decided to che...
My friend and I
We sat in summer
Right in the middle of July
We race all day, it's usually a tie
Sometimes I’m faster
Our tans darkened from the clear sky
We played in trees way up high
Small shiny bugs we’d discover
Shooting stars we watched as we lie
In my hands I held a firefly
Glowing with a pretty color
‘It's the last night’ we sigh...
There was no rain, no dramatic music in the background, just the hushed whispers of the cafeteria’s hungry onlookers. It had started as a dare, a cute little game with my friends, but as I stood there, my heart racing, it was anything but “fun”. I could feel my face burn as I struggled to form the words.
“I know we haven’t talked much, but I felt a… spark,” My voice slowed down and wavered with e...
I can’t look at you straight
My eyes are just lumps of coal
They meet yours so my pupils dilate
Just like a blackhole
But you held them still
Leaving me bewildered
Maybe this hole you could fill
I never thought you’d like me unfiltered
Yet you’re still here I suppose
I should really stop waiting
When I feel I’m too close
Will I start leaving?...
They couldn't see or hear me, no matter how violently I screamed. My voice echoed through the chaos as the ship plummeted from the sky, a fiery comet of despair. I screamed as the flames roared to life, an inferno consuming our hope, and I continued to scream as they slowly flickered out, leaving us stranded in the unforgiving snow.
I stared at the wreckage before me, a colossal monstrosity that ...
