he broke my heart and my will. I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to do something, I guess, but I also just want to sit and cry, wishing he didn’t exist. then feeling bad about hating him so much and being mean, even if it’s only in my head. not like I even talk to him anymore. not like he talks to me anymore, either. I bet he’s forgotten all about me. he’d rather talk to his new girlfriend. ...
my coach and my team
girls practicing and stretching
green all around me
I take a long breath
the bright smell of fresh cut grass
fills my nose and heart
whoosh! as the ball soars
clink! as my ball hits the pin
nice shot! they tell me
the sweat on my palms
the short grass against my knee
as I read the break
a granola bar
to give me more energy
and minty lip balm...
dear diary,
today was a good day I guess
not the worst that it could’ve been
definitely could’ve been better
met a few famous people
well, didn’t meet them meet them
but saw them
took pictures and videos of them
that I’m never gonna look at again anyways
posted a couple on my snap story-
not like anyone I know’s even heard of them
some random insignificant golfers
cried some
crying right now, l...
I’m picking up his paper that fell out of his backpack. Little does he know that started it all—the innocent, soft brush of our hands. I’m holding the door open for everyone as they leave class. Little does he know my eyes are fixated on him as he walks through, a nod “thank you” and walks away. I let him borrow my calculator because his died and he has a physics quiz next block. Little does he kn...
glass walls surround my thoughts
all jumbled up in my head
waiting to burst out
I’m only alive until I’m dead
I just need to hold it in
a little bit longer
I don’t care if I lose or win
I just need to be a bit stronger
but everyday it gets harder
to keep it all inside
plaster on a smile, I’m no martyr
I’ve lied and I’ve cried
and nobody knows
I overthink a lot
insecure about my mouth, my nose
comp...
swallow your feelings until they are gone, she had told me. suppress the emotions until you feel nothing at all. bear the pain until it becomes invisible. that’s how this world works. I’ve tried and tried, but it’s just not how I work. I can’t take it anymore. so I decide the time is now. I run, as fast as I can, sprinting down the road and taking a left and not stopping for miles and miles until ...
it’s paradise when your mouth grazes my skin. when your voice whispers my name. when your eyes say what words cannot. your fingers trace my back, slowly moving from the nape of my neck to the top lacy edge of my dress. there is a zipper that follows my spine, and I feel you thinking about it yet restraining yourself. your long lashes flutter as I put a hand against your chest, nothing but the thin...
rules: the last two words in each line must rhyme, each line must have alliteration, ten lines total
sparkling snow glows
like a kindred king’s bling
my frozen face frosted with coy joy
as cries of children’s cheer shout out
caroling choirs sing long songs
a sweet smell spreads as the bells yell
merrily marking each of our hours
as couples cuddle, a Mr. and Miss kiss
under some minty mistletoe, t...
“I was just trying to be what you wanted,” she says, with her eyes lowered and her face red. She knew it wasn’t a good idea and yet she did it and now she wants to jump into a hole and die. She’d rather face death than this embarrassment.
“You’ve always been what I’ve wanted,” he whispers seductively as he runs his finger over her cheek. His eyes are fixed on her far too revealing dress, a smile ...
