What Am I?

Cass

1 min read

I’m sixteen lines old,

Or should it be long?

Made up of singing lyrics,

But I’m not a song.

A story perhaps,

Because I definitely tell,

All the times your heart’s broken,

And all the times it has fell.

Maybe I’m a fable,

Or advice from the wise,

Or an old diary entry,

For only your eyes.

I lock like a vault,

I keep feelings unknown,

But the simple truth is,

I’m just a poem....

Dear Future Self

Cass

2 min read

I have a mirror that shows the future. Well, not the future, just the future me. But it’s not always the same, my future self changes based on decisions I make, or could make. I don’t know, it’s confusing.

What I do know is that my mirror is magic. It must be. What else could show a version of me that’s aged twenty years?

I found it in a little antique shop. Everyone else walked past without a se...

First Date Nerves

Cass

1 min read

The first date with him was undeniably awkward. We began with a leisurely walk through my local woods. The weather was nice, the sun shone down brightly on what should’ve been a perfect day.

We walked my favourite path and he kept me entertained, chatting animatedly as we strolled along.

He had a sense of adventure that drove me to the, in retrospect, awful decision that we would try a different...

My Stupid Fear

Cass

2 min read

This is a story of how I conquered my irrational fear.

Now, you better promise not to laugh. See I have an irrational fear. We all do I guess. Some people are afraid of clowns, some are afraid of spiders, but me, I’m afraid of grass. Yes I know, it’s ridiculous, but when I was little I had horrendously bad hay fever which made it hard to breathe. I’d break out in terrible rashes and my eyes would...

Humour

The Waiting Room

Cass

2 min read

I’ve always hated waiting rooms. They have this air of nervous apprehension. This one was filled with a tense silence, save for the occasional call of a name.

I sat alone in a corner, thinking about the events that had led to my being here. Looking around the room, I wondered the same of others. Some were obvious, you could tell just by looking at them how they got here. Others were harder to pla...

Vanity

Cass

1 min read

Once upon a time, there was a man named Vinnie. You wouldn’t find a better looking man than Vinnie in all of the kingdom. Everyday women would tell him how gorgeous he was, they’d bat their eyes and flirt and Vinnie would flirt back.

Be that as it may, Vinnie had eyes for only one girl, but Elizabeth was not interested. She loathed Vinnie for his narcissism, she found his love for himself infuriat...

Family Greetings

Cass

I woke on Tuesday with a sense of dread. It was my first day back at school after… well after something big. I wasn’t looking forward to the stares and whispers anyway. It was for this reason that I dressed as simply as possible, I crammed my cheerleading outfit to the back of my wardrobe, I had a feeling I’d never wear it again. After all, cheerleaders are supposed to be cheerful.

I walked into ...

The First Time I Saw You

Cass

1 min read

The first day I saw you,

I wasn't too impressed,

It stayed that way for quite a time,

The next day and the next,

But as the years passed on by,

My heart told me what's true,

I know you feel differently,

But I'm in love with you.

Now you know my secret,

Which I didn't want to tell,

I just hope you can accept it please,

In love with you I fell,

So as the days go on by,

You know just how I feel,

Ple...

Unexpected Encounters

Cass

3 min read

“I think I just met the happiest person in the world.” Jace muttered into his hands as the exhaustion crept in. A full day entertaining the peppy daughter of his dad’s boss would do that to you.

She was called Cally, she must’ve been a year or two younger than Jace but the happiness she radiated gave her a child-like innocence.

They had arrived last night with the promise of a promotion if his da...

Life Without You

Cass

1 min read

Life without you would be empty,

I’d be lost like a boat out at sea,

No compass to guide,

No feelings inside,

Just darkness descending on me.

Life without you would be bleak,

My lost love I’m destined to seek,

No hope to find you,

No way to get through,

Without you I’m just so weak.

Life without you would be grey,

The colours would all go away,

The sun is not bright,

As dark as midnight,

So plea...
