Gary laughed awkwardly, looking around at the strange collection of people from all walks of life. He did not recognize anyone, nor did he remember how he got there. An Asian man nearby spoke to him in a launguage Gary didn’t recognize. He heard a dark skinned woman call out in Spanish, but he couldn’t understand what she said.
Then, a platform raised from the ground with a lone figure standing o...
My grandmother always told me
If you aren’t learning you are dying
It’s something I’m always applying
So continued growth is a guarantee
My grandmother always told me
That we have to be kind to others
Of all orientations sizes and colors
So of ignorance I would be free
My grandmother told me
That you had to have fun
Without it life hasn’t begun
Which I’ve found to be key
My grandmother told...
Two glowing red eyes peered out from beneath the bed. They watched as two kids ran around the small bedroom, toys in hand, pretending they were airplane pilots. Narrowing, the red eyes glowered until a voice called for the kids from outside the room.
Dropping their toys, both children giggled and ran out of the room. They seemed blissfully unaware of the eyes watching their every move. The instan...
I would be anything for you
You can feel it’s true
When you were a baby I was a bed
Rocking you to sleep and kissing your head
I would be anything for you
You can see it’s true
When you were a toddler I was a horse
Carrying you on my back through a set course
I would be anything for you
You can hear it’s true
When you were a kid I was an example
Telling you to say thank you and giving you a samp...
Destined to be forever alone
Trapped in a prison I’ve grown
From a single seed of doubt
I prepared to just go without
Because the mistakes in my past,
I assume, will make me an outcast
Nobody could care for me it’s true
But you say the same about you
You don’t know all I’ve done wrong
Terrible history that is sad and long
Decisions I have made like a fool
Building a reputation that is cruel
As ...

Melissa stroked the grey hair of the elderly woman shivering in the bed in front of her. “I don’t remember…” she muttered as her eyes blinked twice and closed.
“Get some rest, Hellen,” Melissa cooed as the ...
I’m so glad that works for you
But I’m here too…
It’s nice that your having the time of your life
But mine is filled with strife.
Wow I guess that’s really really cool
But for me it’s cruel!
What do you mean you didn’t even know?
You have me feeling so low…
I wasn’t silent I just didn’t shout!
How could you be in doubt?
Is it too much to ask you to be able to see?
Can you hear me?...
Your past casts a shadow dark and tall,
But are you alone or is that common to us all?
You think if someone finds out they will run,
But why abandon a story that has barely begun?
Foolishly to everyone you start to compare
Rating your self against others causes dispair
No one like you has ever done enough,
But could you be that Diamond in the rough?...
She wants to know his secret. He hasn’t decided what it is yet. All he knows is what he told her: he has a secret that will change everything.
Of course, this secret can explain all of the recent changes in Mike’s physical appearance, his relationship with Sarah and can’t be discussed over the phone. The truth already hasn’t worked. It’s simply too unbelievable.
Telling—or even showing—Sarah t...
Our relationship was not transparent and clean
We never worked like a well oiled machine
Rather, we were like an organized mess
But it was beautiful nonetheless
An assortment of colors and shapes
Formed through trials and scrapes
That makes something breathtaking
An intentional design there is no mistaking
With just one common thread
Something that went unsaid
That we both put in the work
Wit...
