I wrote a little note on my phone to remind myself that I needed to have this conversation with my mom. All the kids at school were doing it and I almost did it. It freaked me out, I was scared, shaking, and shivering. Something about seeing a private part made me fearful and I needed to know why.

“Hey, mom can I ask you something,” I said looking at the window playing with my fingers, and turni...

If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?

Would you call me crazy because of the dark it has been through, or would you call me lazy because a storm came through?

Because everybody has a past and I just haven’t gotten to the finish line yet, I’m still trying to fight to find the passion through that. When the storm came through it froze me, and there was really not m...

The last phrases we had were FUCK YOU to each other, exactly how it sounds is exactly how we said it, and I haven’t spoken to Fatima since. She did some things to me that I never thought she would, since then my heart hasn’t been beating properly. It’s an unbearable pain that has left a wound in my heart that I’m afraid may not heal. Before I get to the story of what happened between us here’s a l...

It had been a normal day, and that terrified her more than anything. The house was quiet, the blinds were pulled back to let the sunshine in and it was squeaky clean. Leading to years before peace was something she could only dream of, wishing for better days, sleep was the only thing that she was prepared to do.

Normal was an understatement, nothing was normal for her. She was the weird chick a...

”Okay. I’ll start,” said Pam. It was one blazing hot day, and I couldn’t find my dog. I kept yelling his name from the window, but I heard nothing, so I went out to look for him; it was around 2:30 in the afternoon, and I worked a double at work the night before, so I was exhausted, my feet got so swollen, and my eyes are so puffy that I couldn't see out of them. Not panicking, I put warm water ov...

I’ve been sitting here for days. Numb from the neck down, drowning in my sorrow. Everything scares me, I'm starting to feel like there might be something wrong, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. When I get nervous, I bite my nails down until there isn't anymore, and my head slowly goes into my lap; the car doors outside sound like bombs, and the voices in my head are making the footsteps so...

High above the city is where I landed

It’s all so simple it’s because I had planned it.

It’s never too late to dream big and reach for the sky. You wouldn’t want to die with all that on your mind.

High above the city is where I belong, that’s where all my strong highs are and where my lows aren’t so strong.

Take this ride with me and you’ll see, this is ultimately where you and I are supposed ...
