The Happiest Person In The World

Marvellous Toluwa Dawodu

4 min read

“I think I just met the happiest person in the world.”

I said it out loud to myself as I stood on the sidewalk, staring at the empty bench where she had been sitting just minutes ago.

It had been a normal morning. Or at least, what my mornings usually felt like—rushed, stressful, and heavy. My bag was too full, my phone was buzzing with emails I hadn’t checked, and my head was pounding from lack...

Duet

Just a girl

1 min read

They both get in on a whim—

One drives, while one complains,

“Why do you get to pick it again?” She murmured .

“It’s my car,” he replies

As one by one, the music plays,

Each song a doorway of days past.

Some feel freeing, wild, and young,

Melodies covered like warm summers sun

They laugh at one absurd choice,

Dramatic beats play, a duet unfolds

Once, silence held unspoken fear,

Guarded thoughts, h...

Faceless

Deea C.

1 min read

The person has such a mysterious aura.

Their eyes are hollow and their other facial features don’t exist.

Their body is beautiful.

They are so beautiful,but I heard at some point,while I was younger,that the body doesn’t matter if you are ugly.

But how can you decide who someone faceless is?

The person is indeed kind and so,so smart. They used to always answer in class and to hav...

Forgiving

Deea C.

1 min read

‘It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget.’

To forget means to delete from your mind everything that had happen with or about that person. To never remember them again. And everyone,at some point,wished just this. But it also means to forget about everything that you had learned during that period and to forget the lesson that this experience had taught you.

To forgive,on the othe...

There Before

Deea C.

1 min read

Before I have been there

but it seems like a old memory in a trash bin,

like my soul makes it thin

to seems like I never was there before.

But I know

that I have been there

not only now,

but everywhere.

The nostalgia is feeling big

almost like a pig

if not even bigger,smaller in reality,

but never small in my soul which is still dreamily.

I have been there before,

and my soul know it forever

Witches

Deea C.

1 min read

Even the wolves don’t come out at night because they’re afraid of what hides in the shadows:being banished here is worse than a death sentence.

And yet,witches,in the past,had been through it. They had been sentenced to death and they had been killed.

Maybe because of this,they are not only not scared of leaving their houses at night,but also not scared of what could be in the shadows or of...

Beauty In Chaos

Deea C.

1 min read

Chaos -one of the things that nobody wants in their lives,and yet,it is there. And not only this,but sometimes,we love it.

We love the idea of chaos when we know that we can control it. We love this idea when we know that even in chaos,we can find what we want or need,or when it is beautiful. Like a chaotic painting,or a messy but beautiful handwriting.

So,in my opinion,chaos is beautiful ...

Left And Leaving

Deea C.

1 min read

People says that nobody leaves because they want,and that they leaves because they need to,or at least they feel like it. But it is wrong. People can also leaves for their own self. They can leave for their own dreams.

Sometimes,to archive your dreams means to give up and leave -other people,not your dreams- and to risk so many things. To archive your dreams means letting go of people even befo...

Down Below, in the Sand

El West

1 min read

Birds circled overhead, casting shadows across Warren’s face every so often. He blinked up at the scorching desert sun, eyes dry from the hours he had spent laying on his back in the sand. The birds heckled him from above. He knew it was only a matter of time before they would become bold enough to dive down and take what they wanted, regardless of whether he had moved on or not.

He sighed, so...

Unsure

Does it decide

That seagull

As it glides?

Reach out and retreat

Governed by moon

And inner writhing tides.

Anger sweeps the beaches

Love paddles on the shore

One foot wet one foot dry

TIL the neap tide soaks

The dithering dark of your mind and

You are drenched.

Does it decide?

That seagull

glides....
