Your too skinny
You can’t be that fat
You need to fit in
Don’t do that your being too loud
You need to be neat
A lady
You need to cut away that part
Make yourself perfect
No mistakes ever
You need to be pleasing to the eye
But don’t ask for it or you will just become a
“Distraction”
You need to smooth out all mistakes
You are ugly
You need makeup
You should smile more
Why should I smile in ...
This is not the prompt.
I never had the desire to be a hero, you see. I'd rather take a step back and let someone else take the spotlight unless it concerned my family. The Fairlights were known for loving rarely, but we loved for a lifetime when we did. That day, I woke up to a cobalt blue sky and my mother's whistling. The brisk knock on our door interrupted our breakfast. My father stood up t...
We knew we were different
We lived in a city
The quilt we called it
Patches of this
The parks were still green
And the building like steel
But everything was a jumble
Hospitals in parks
And schools in hospitals
It was like a fake broken world
But we loved it all the same
We lived our quilt
We loved the patches
We loved being different...
“Lucy, I was the one who spread that horid rumor about you,” The second the words came out of my mouth I regretted it.
“Zoe it was you.” The way she hissed you broke my heart.
“Yes. I’m sorry I was angry, I made a mistake.” Lucy glared at me and I shrank inside myself.
“Mistake?!? You have been my best friend for 5 years. 5 years! This last year has been pure torture because of you and your nast...
Arabella-
The dress was beautiful and it seemed wrong. The dress was black with flowers embroidered in black thead.
“Arabella are you ready.” I hadn’t even put the dress on. Wearing the dress would mean accepting the death. It would mean saying it happened.
Kira-
I got the phone call late at night so I knew something was wrong.
“Kir.”
“Anna? Whats wrong”
“Mom.”
“Is she ok”
“Moms dead Kir ...
“If we get caught, Lizzie, we tell them the truth.” Lizzie looked at me.
“But we agreed to lie.” I turned the car into the graveled driveway and looked at her.
“What you ever d do .” My sister looked at me with her big blue eyes. I can see the confusion written on her face.
“Lizzie, they have a way to see if we are lying. If we get caught don’t lie.” I whispered.
I grab my belt of daggers and ha...
I stood on the beach my hand in yours
My heart synced
To the beat of
I am yours
You never really loved me like I did
Now I see but before I was naive
I smiled looking at you
Your brown windswept hair and your eyes
Oh so blue
We have to go you said
No, I must stay
Then you turned and we fought some more
A silly thing now I see
But it seemed so prominent
I needed to stay safe in your arms

Many people visit museums to be dazzled by many exhibits on display. They come to breathe in the scent of thousands of artists. However, my museum is different. Despite having only one painting and one room, people still line up around the block to visit it. Once inside, they gaze at the painting of my grandmother, who is depicted wearing a black mourning gown. She looks at the viewer with a raw e...
