A Hymn Of Hope

Elliott Greco

1 min read

You might be full of hatred

But one day you’ll be cleansed of it

You might be full of sadness

But your tears will be cleansed with joy

You might be consumed by worry

But you will be cleansed of your anxieties

And even though it might seem impossible

To cope with negsyive emotions

But please know that one day

You will be cleansed of them all...

Cleansing

Lyrics and Lines

1 min read

Washing the sin off of my skin

And erase the memories from within

Rip out the pages, burn them up

Deleting messages with a touch

Take pictures from frames and into the trash

The things that she bought me get crumpled and smashed

Remove every trace and move forward fast,

Cleansing myself of the ghost in my past...

Wash

Bertie

1 min read

Wash it away,

the dirt, the doubt, the memory stains,

let the water run over yesterday’s echoes,

watch them swirl, slip, dissolve.

Scrub the fingerprints from the glass,

wipe the history from your hands,

start fresh

like it never happened,

like it never touched you,

like the past was just a dream

you woke up from too late.

Soap bubbles rise like tiny prayers,

floating up, bursting, gone,

silent ...

Trauma

Horizon

1 min read

They say with time you will defeat the trauma , soon it will be alright that the feeling will pass. . You’ll be fine as long as you hang on tight .

But that false those demons stay they don’t stop , they carry on abusing your peace stealing any hint of a break because true healing is fake .

Memories tainted by fear because only pain came near as shadows linger but they don’t help with this fig...

Bone White

Robert Miranda

1 min read

As the days go by we can only find

That what is true is only an illusion.

Deep inside the confines of the mind,

There is only the internal intrusion.

Noting outside prepares within,

For what you take with you.

No other way to begin,

And avenues so few.

Absent are sinew and flesh

All must be purged with your might

They will not mesh

Until your internals are once again

Bone white...

Out If Time

Sienna Rae

1 min read

Time can take everything, I was used to it by now, yet I’ve had such trouble letting you go.

I’ve let go of pets, family members, my years as a kid, but you? You’re different. The place you hold inside my heart is stronger than anything I’ve felt.

But now, time has decided to take you from me.

You can’t stop it, you can run from it, so why fight it? It’s unreasonable to fight the looming thre...

“You’re Not Doing This Alone”

Christina Almazan

I eyed the figure, my gaze intensely sharp. “Under your bed.” I spoke, And immediately once those words left my lips he froze.

“Under my bed” he echoes the words with a whisper. He stayed silent for a moment till his eyes darted up to mine. “I didn’t put it there” he said softly.

“Really? So you expect me to believe it just magically appeared there. I hate to break it to you Alex but we’re...

What Lays Beneath

Sienna Rae

I stared down at the water beneath me, my mind wandering to what I knew sat at the bottom of the lake.

The body of my sister.

I didn’t mean to kill her. It really was a simple accident. But she shouldn’t have shouted at me like that, not when I had that rock in my hand.

I swing the rock at her, not just once. I beat her and beat her until she was unrecognizable. She was nothing but a bloody pi...

To My Past Self

Deea C.

1 min read

To my past self

who didn’t know how to love herself.

Life is beautiful when we

live

and don’t only survive,

and when we smile.

We had learnt how to love

everything in life.

We had found a hobby,

which slowly became an obsession fastly,

but a healthy

one,and it make us happily.

Little things are beautiful,

but only after we learnt how to love.

I healed us,

even if it was hard.

I did it for us...
