“i drag myself out of nightmares and there’s no relief in waking up. But, it’s better not to give into it. It takes ten times longer to put yourself back together then it does to fall apart.” - Finnick Odair

I sat next to Theo on the benches in front of our school. The sun was shining and my hair was tossled in the wind. He glanced at me. My breath hitched. He looks up at the sky seemingly lost in his thoughts. After a minute passes he breaks the silence.
“You really are so sweet and gentle. I feel like if i touch you, you will just crumble in my fingers.”
My heart stutters.
“Sonya, you really are jus...
‘Twas the night before Christmas,
While some children snuggled up tight in their bed, sleeping soundly.
Parents leaving a plate of milk and cookies for the jolly man himself.
But in reality,
Not everyone’s Christmas Eve was that great,
Somewhere out there, their are poor children laboring away to make toys,
At night,
They are shackled to the cold hard ground.
They sleep with one eye open, becaus...
My calloused hands..
Broken from the intense work that I do.
They’re not soft like you would think.
But I wonder, if these rough hands could be held by another.
Hands trailing up my sides,
Holding my chin,
Hands patting my head for comfort,
Fingertips grazing up and down my back to soothe my hot tears.
It’s the best feeling,
To know that someone’s there.
Even they just quickly squeeze my hand,
A...
What would I do if I was forced to leave it all behind,
If I was forced to leave weightlifting,
I would have no way to settle down the restless demons inside me,
They would devour me whole if I had no way to comfort them.
I wouldn’t be able to feel that high after an intense session.
The pride that rushes through me would never be the same.
I couldn’t feel the adrenaline that pumps through me as ...
Winter is dull, but comforting.
Like walking to the bus stop numbed by the cold air breathing on your skin,
Seeing your breath form a cloud,
That cloud drifts away from you.
Time seems to stop.
Your brain travels elsewhere as you stare up at the stars.
You hear someone talking to you,
But your distracted by the dullness,
The numbness,
The coldness,
The whiteness.
Winter traces its slender fingers ...
Behind a star, is the bleakness of the dark universe,
But the bleakness holds a secret story,
One so shameful,
Filled with hardship,
But also is the story of how the star was created.
But no one ever seems to care how a star was created,
They only care about the brightness that catches one’s eye.
So as she stepped up to the podium,
She remembered the story of the star.
And amidst the roaring of a...
I wouldn’t say I particularly like birthdays.
Because it’s a day where I change.
But you need to change to grow,
And you need it to succeed.
And sometimes change gives you a wake up call,
To that fantasy you were living.
I wouldn’t say I particularly like birthdays
Because it’s a day to remind myself that it only gets tougher from here,
Because your older and you can take more challenges, but ...
Black.
I’m sitting underneath the stars listening to how the stars talk to me.
They tell me I like the color of your sweater, and i tell them I do too,
Because the stars home is black.
I found comfort in the darkness that’s lit by stars that are so far away.
I thought all my worries would dissipate in the darkness.
I didn’t feel real in the dark, like I was detached from the rest of the world.
Wh...
Beyond the maps, where legends dwell, i ventured into the unknown.
Away from the busy life, full of negatives, I dove into the positives.
I ran swiftly through empty deserts finding the oasis.
I run across mountains peaks some i come across mean and vile
But no matter, because my adventure is to fly away from the troubles of my life
So I’m not afraid to adventure into the unknown because I’m not ...
