My breathing is heavy.
Unsteady.
I feel small,
Begging myself to not bawl.
Something in my chest coils around me,
And I can’t see.
My vision blurs
Something inside me stirs.
I reach
Feeling each…
Each wall
Each hall.
Each forestall.
Everything pressing in
Smashing into my skin.
I fall.
Needing to be small.
Curl up
Don’t look up
Don’t reach up
For the sun isn’t there.
For the people don’t care.
I ...
Does the sun get lonely
In the bright blue sky, the only.
It looks down on us bellow,
Not letting its feelings show.
The sun shines brightly,
Fading softly nightly,
Only to rise again,
Wondering when-
Will these men
Ever learn?
The sun stands alone,
The weight of time, a heavy stone,
Wandering the only path it’s ever known,
Across the sky it calls its own....
Sylia sat on her chair, legs crossed, staring out the window. It was rainy, quiet, peaceful… perfect for reading. People around her were doing just that, reading. She was meant to be supervising, simply making sure nothing got out of hand. What were they expecting to happen? Sylia chuckled to herself, they probably just needed her to shush people. Though, what if something else happened?
A cat got...
10 minutes before Alyssa’s life collapsed, a bus barreled down the road. It was filled with excited chatter, since the octopus’ had won their game.
“Do you think we’ll be able to win the tournament?” Cadence asked, balancing a soccer ball in her hand.
Niomi didn’t answer. She didn’t care if she won or not. As long as she got enough games in. As long as she scored goal after goal. That’s all she ...
I looked to Ruby, who was curled up on the ground. Crying. She’s always been so soft hearted. Too soft hearted.
I squat down next to her. “Get up.”
She whimpers. Of course. She’s too weak. I shove her. Ruby should have gotten up.
She’s just not worth it. She’s too traumatized to be useful. I take a step in the opposite direction, only pausing to give her another chance. She doesn’t take it.
I...
I ran like my life depended on it. On getting to the airport to be there the second she arrives. My legs pumped, and my heart pounded. I engulfed as much oxygen as my lungs could hold.
I could hear my mothers words in my head. “You could have saved up for a car,” she would say. “But instead you blew off all your money for that girl.”
Mother always hated Emily. From the moment she moved in across...
Can you hear me
Pounding on the walls
Can you hear me
Walking down the halls
Can you hear me
Screaming and screaming
Can you here me
Hopelessly dreaming
Do you listen when I talk
Do you hear my pounding walk
Or am I just a ghost
Listening to you boast
You are an arrogant man
With your plan
I thought you would have grown tired of me
With all my pleas
Yet you are still here
Holding me near
Do yo...
