I used to be wonderful moist squishy mud. A beautiful dark brown color. Now I’m a dull color, slowly crumbling away. I am starving for some water.

I am rather parched....

Rhymes and riddles

Thoughts that belittle

Overthinking simple things.

I thought so hard that my think stopped thunking.

It’s too deep, too deep.

Just take a step back....

We were visiting a family friend on his farm.

I remember running through the cornfield, towards the forest behind the farm.

We entered the woods, stepping over the rocks on the ledge.

Green floura grew through the cracks of the rocks reaching towards the warm golden sun. Yellow flowers began to bloom, dotting the ground how crystals sparkle in granite.

We follow the lightly tread dirt path.

The key swings loosely from his neck. He wanders further down the hall. Red splatters dot the floor. The faint sound of children echoes in the dark empty space. Their voices haunting him, he remembers the horrors they displayed.

The chicken nuggets thrown across the room, and ketchup packets thrown on the floor. He uses the key to unlock the janitor closet.

I will have my revenge. He thinks to hi...

Spinning of the carousel

The pendulum of the swings

The confusion in my mind

The clowns jeering faces

I hope I’m gonna make it.

The red and white tent

I’m way too stressed

In the hall of mirrors

Trapped in the circus of my mind...

She grinned, the cold air rushing through her tangled brown hair. The horse, steadily increasing speed. She crouches on the saddle feeling the rythm of the hooves, feeling the familiar sensation of her horse koda. her bare feet cool against the leather.The audience watches intently, children watching in anticipation. Slowly the girl extends her legs standing on the white speckled horse. She drops ...

The candles flickered yellow against my dining room wall. My sister, hair adorned with pink scrunchies and a cheesy grin watches as I blow out the 6 candles. We giggle and squeal in excitement when my parents bring a gift to the table.

12 years later I find myself sitting in the same chair. My sister once so young now sits arms crossed, those ripped jeans we used to make fun of and plain hair. M...

The old gieser walks into the door led by his tween granddaughter.

She struts up to the counter, quickly reapplying her summer friday lip gloss, before spitting out her order.

“I’d like a carmel macchiato with extra carmel and whipped cream.”

The cashier nods and totals the purchase.

“My name is Nova.”

She says before the cashier asks.

“Ok, and for you sir?”

“Get me a coffee.”

Nova stares a...

“YEEEEE HAAAAWW!!!!!! I’m a cowboy baby!”

Cornelius galloped through the desert, his companion, Fred not far behind.

“Corneeeeeelious!!!!!” He whines.

Cornelius rolled his eyes. And steers his pony round.

“Yes Fred?”

“when are we gonna take a break?” He whines.

“We take no such breaks.” Cornelius puffed out his chest.

“Listen Cornelius… I didn’t think it would have to come to this but we’ve been ...

Isamu clasps his hands together in a final gesture of greeting.

I copy him bowing my head.

His figure is tall and looming, powerful from years of training.

From now on he will join the king’s ranks in his army, I can only hope my training has prepared him enough for what is to come.

“Goodbye, Master Riku, I shall carry your wisdom the rest of my days.”

The young warrior proclaims

“I have no doubt...
