Since I was young, I would create worlds in my head and tell stories about the people I met. I’ve always wanted to write those stories, but I was terrified to start. This is me leaning into that fear!

White light fills the sky
Was my life just a lie?
My mistakes are closing in
No escape; I'll never win
Memories hidden deep below
Things left behind long ago
Penitence, something to me unknown
With that, my forgiveness blown
Nightmares fueled by darkness
Resulting in a life of starkness
My end is growing near
Left alone with my fear
What was once a dream
Is now gathering steam
With no tim...
That night confirmed my fears
Months fighting, ending in tears
Finally deciding to put me first
Left me feeling like the worst
Some are meant to be alone
A new freedom I’d never known
But the price was our destruction
The result of my original seduction
Some breakups leave you in the dark
Not just another walk in the park...
Her words still echoed through my head,
“She’s not who she says she is!”
It had been a long time since I dreamed of gran, but she came to me that night. She was trying to tell me something more, but something dragged her away before she got the chance. That dream gave me little clarity, and if anything, it strengthened my uncertainty. The last time gran came to me in a dream, I knew exactly wha...
When and why the tunnels were built is unknown. Some people say that they have simply always been. They are a sight to be seen in the daylight, but the night gives them an exceptional quality. The tunnels are candlelit at night, with the flickering light bouncing off the stark limestone walls. It’s almost like a siren’s song, drawing passersby into its cylindrical trap.
Long ago, a young child w...
Five days in the summer sun
Of them, only four were fun
Three friends together on a beach
Two were kind but was one a leech
Expectations were left unsaid
Ending up with someone dead
On the last day, only two came home
The other one was freed to roam
Their friendship came to an end
Impossible for the three to mend
Of the three, only two survived
The other one was left deprived...
Conversations turned to screams
My vulnerability, weaponized
The subject of my worst dreams
Leaving me surprised
Let’s return to the good days
Find what we once were
Making sure the feeling stays
Leaving the bad as a blur
Those days, some of our best
Exploring our deepest fear
Our life, an epic love fest
Oblivious, the end was near
A light in the dark
Deep in my soul
Your love is my spark...
Pounding footsteps echo from the empty streets as I sprint toward the park. I fight the urge to look behind me because I already know what’s there. After years of running, he finally found me just like he said he would. When I get to the park, I’m out of breath, but I can’t stop until I reach the elder tree’s safety. I turn the last corner only to find him waiting for me under the swaying branches...
“Great, let’s get two more shots before we wrap.”
The director’s voice calls out from behind the viewer. This is a typical day on a movie set, but it feels like it’s too much today.
“Actually, I need a moment.”
I don’t wait for an answer before I exit the stage heading for my dressing room. I’ve never enjoyed acting, but I’ve recently started despising the “craft.” It was never my idea to act...
I had that dream again last night, the dream about Collin. We were hiking at Eros Point like we always did, but when I got too far ahead, he disappeared, and I woke. It had been a while since I’d dreamed of Collin, but the effects were profound. The mere thought of Collin brought back a flood of happy yet painful memories.
Collin and I had been best friends since childhood. We were inseparable b...
