Marie Couvins can’t bake cookies to save her life.
But I can’t tell her that, it would break her heart. So every two days when she comes into the dry cleaners place where I work, I take the burnt cookies with a smile.
Today was different. Today Marie brought no cookies. Just a terrifying silence. I attempted to make any sort of communication but was met with a dry response.
Okay then. Sounds good ...
I kick at the small pebble in front of me, it scatters down the street. As I make my way into work, my friend Avery walks by. Her preppy smile and joyful expression attempt to break through the shield of my frown. She waves.
I nod.
Far different from our usual giggles and squealing routine.
I brace myself and walk through the doorway of the tall office building. Immediately when I walk in I’m shov...
I would be anything for you
I would change my personality
My mind
My ideas
My soul
I would do anything for you
If you asked me to I would
If you needed me to listen I would
Even if you can’t listen to me
I would give everything for you
If you wanted, needed or loved
It’s yours
Even if it’s mine
I would be anything for you
Even if i didn’t want to
Even if I couldn’t
I would find a way
Even i...
I know I shouldn’t do this.
My family stares me in the eyes. Disbelief shines on their faces.
“Casandra. If you climb that wall, we will never take you back.”
Tribe leader’s powerful voice carries over the crowd.
“I’m tired of the lies! I saw that thing in the sky… I need to know the truth mother!”
My heart shatters. I love this place, it’s my everything. I love the nightly fires, I love the te...
“Bri! What is this!”
“What’s what?” I call back to my friend
“This just might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“I really have no idea what you are talking about.”
Ever since I came back from my outer space travels I have been stuck with Aria. An alien from a very distant planet.
I can hear her in the other room and have not a clue what she is talking about.
Until I hear the ...
My world is sinking. My home is this ship. And I’m all alone. My stories sit on these shelfs.
I grew up on this fishing boat. Just me and my dad. My entire childhood are these books. They were my world when I couldn’t get to the one on land. And now we are sinking.
This is no time to be woeful. The water seeping in through the wood is no help and the fact that the only light is flickering like ...
Priya sat with her legs crossed. She was sitting in the living room writing cards for her boyfriends birthday, a small get together with friends, but Priya loved to write and thought traditional cards would be appreciated.
On the subject of her boyfriend, he was a simple man, but perfect for Priya’s chaotic character. His name was Lucas.
They adored each other and their easy routine. ...
Sometimes healing
Takes a different shape
Mine is the stars
Where I can escape
I lean my head back
The worries drift away
Because what hurts me
Stays in the day
At night is my home
Where I drift in space
Not a thing matters
Pain has no place
I trace the lines
In between the stars
And the hurt in my heart
Drifts more and more far
As my eyes close
The stress can’t spread
For I sleep in the star...
The world has forgotten my name.
The name they once sold their voices just to scream.
I once was told I was the best actress in the world. At least that’s what the man handing me the award said.
As a child, I wanted to be the best at something.
No matter what I did there was always someone better.
So I stand here. Small drops of tears fall. As person after person walks by without a second look....
I stare at the lump of a human on my couch. A part of me wants to laugh but the other half knows it’s wrong. I pull up a chair and tap my best friends shoulder.
“Hey Juli?”
“Nooooooooo”
“Ok then” I say with a stare at the floor
When Juli burst into my apartment in tears I jumped to the conclusion that her boyfriend broke up with her. The slight problem is that said boyfriend is my cousin, who ma...
