He walked into class on the first day late. She had her head hung low pretending to write in her notebook to try and not get noticed by anyone. She heard a clumsy mess rush in the room and couldn’t help herself from giggling. He looked like he was lost beyond compare and it intrigued her. She shifted in her seat pretending not to care but snuck a look in his direction. Had to be a coincidence that...
An ode to my fuzzy blanket. You add weight to my body that I’m not ashamed of. You add unanxious solace to my mind. You add warmth to my soul. You are the home away from home. You are my companion that dries my tears and the one that protects me from my fears. Thank you oh fuzzy blanket. Thank you....
Steph heard her phone ring across the room and felt the vibration of her watch on her wrist. She looked down at her wrist and saw the name across the screen “call from Kern”. She went through the five stages of grief all within half a second. She didn’t know why he was calling, she thought he was done with her. She didn’t know if she should answer because she thought it would make her heart hurt. ...
Every morning I wake up to your eyes gazing at me with so much adoration and your breathing so quiet. You place a kiss on my head and I already know what’s going to happen next but you make it still feel like a surprise. The same day with you is like a million days new and I’m no longer mad about it....
Youth has a twin named nostalgia.
The long car rides where you’d fall asleep in one state and wake up in another.
The bumps and boo boos that hurt as if your entire body will collapse but really all you need is a bandaid.
The adrenaline rush you get when you get to pick out what cereal to buy.
The feeling of floating when your crush talks to you and acknowledges your existence.
The thump your...
Sitting in the audience in a very uncomfy chair
I wasn’t paying attention to the stage because I didn’t really care.
This hot man asked for my name and my number
Then he walked away and I thought what a bummer.
The loud speaker was talking
My fingers on tinder were walking.
“Allison Nun you have won!”
The whole crowd cheered “Oh what fun!”
My head snapped up
All I could say was “but but”

I open my eyes and I’m in this beautiful room, I just don’t know what this room is or why I’m here. I’m looking around to see if I can get a clue of my whereabouts but I got nothing. I hear little footsteps running around and I freeze. Whoever I hear I don’t want to know I’m awake. The footsteps are getting closer and I’m starting to sweat. The layout of this room is not something I’m familiar wit...
I look in your eyes and I see the fear of life and the wonder of life and the the beauty of life and the ugly of life and I just see so much life inside your eyes. Your eyes hold the key to my life and that’s you. I don’t think I have ever been more in love with you than in this moment but I do know in the many more moments to come I’ll just keep feeling more and more love for you and I’m so ready...
Little Salley Lou
Never tied her shoe
Even though she was always warned to.
One day Little Salley Lou went for a skip down the street
When the bottom of her shoe and her lace decided to meet
And she finally tripped over her feet.
Now once Little Salley Lou fell
She decided she would never tell
But would just retreat into her shell.
Little Salley Lou once again untied a shoe
But was extremel...
