Just another teen here trying to get through school. This is the place that I write my thoughts and feelings down while attempting to get better at writing.

Even a broken clock
Is right twice a day.
At least, when people talk,
That’s what they always say.
The problem is, they also tell me
That I’m a broken kid.
You won’t ever see
Them admitting that it’s a fib.
Ok, I’ll admit I’m not the perfect child
But I’m not like the broken clock;
Twice a day, it’s opinion is filed.
I’m lucky if I can even talk
About anything with them.
People around he...
_Hey, so this is just what my brain is doing today. Absolutely do not expect anybody to see or care about this; I just need it out of my drafts so I don’t see it every time I open this app. _

Did I cross the line?
One minute I said that I’m fine,
But the next,
I sent that text.
I told him my “problems”
And watched as he laughed through the lens.
I feel like I’m being annoying;
Like ...
I can’t believe I walk to school every day with him. Everybody always asks if we’re siblings, and I always smile and say yes. After all, being related to Adrian Kedrey is what most of the people in school know me for. Even the teachers see my name on the roll sheet and ask if I’m going to be just like my older siblings. Most of the time I just laugh.
When we walk to lunch, he never tries to ...
They say, “Hope is the bridge
Between despair and joy,”
But what would happen if
The bridges start to fall?
They say when you come to
A bridge, you should cross it,
But I grew up hearing
A different saying.
It was, “We’ll burn that bridge
Whenever we get there.”
So I burned all of mine,
Every last one of them.
If there’s nothing left now,
It’s probably my fault.
I know I can’t fix it, ...
It was an atronomical mistake,
One that would eventually take,
Everything he cared about.
The effects would last forever,
And he would truly never,
Be fully forgiven.
They called it a catastrophe,
But he knew that it had atrophied,
Past that point of no return.
It had been just one tired night,
Followed by another oversight,
Until the cascade of secrets buried him.
He regretted tha...
Sean burst into the room, noticed that his girlfriend’s cat, Mark, was sleeping, and tiptoed over to the desk. As he reached out a cautious hand to pet the usually-grumpy cat, he whispered to Steffani, “Have you heard the news?”
She nodded and continued to work on her calculus homework.
“The new fishing store is gonna be awesome,” Sean enthused as he paced around the room, disturbing M...
So I did a thingy about how silence feels, but my actual answer as to how it smells is at the bottom. Sorry. 😅

Something you used to love, but forgot about.
Something you lost, and haven’t quite found.
Something on the edge of your heart that you can’t quite feel.
Something that you know, but can’t remember.
Someone that you don’t know, but love.
Someone who found you when you were lo...
When I whispered your name,
Could you hear it?
When I called out to you,
Did you hear it?
When I scream in my head,
Should you hear it?
When I sobbed my heart out,
Would you hear it?

_I never told this to you, _
_But I always held hope…_

One day you could’ve heard,
All the whispered words.
One day you might’ve heard,
Every lonely call.
One day you should’ve heard,
The screa...
Cara reached for her headphones worth an eager expression. She had been waiting all day to be able to lose herself in the music. Last year, in tenth grade, the teachers allowed students to listen to music, but the new principal had outlawed the popular rule.
From the first chord, Cara found herself smiling as the noise engulfed her senses. The power that the music had over the girl was aston...
Your words wound me deeply,
Your silence hurts even more.
I realize now that I treated you cheaply,
And for you I was such a bore.
I know that I hurt you,
I know that I can’t fix us.
If you could just give me one
Of too many last chances.
When you said that you couldn’t do it,
I swear my heart hit the ground.
Your lips were moving quite a bit,
But I couldn’t hear the sound.
I know you ...
