Hostage

I sat on my kitchen floor as I stared down the barrel of the pistol. My brow furrowed in the middle as I took a deep breath. Nathan stood over me with a certain authoritative posture.

I could hear the stern pleading of the negotiator on the phone as he pushed the gun further into my forehead. Beads of sweat formed at his temple while he weighed his options. The heat of the kitchen was intense...

Frosting On The Cake

Alec Swenson

Window fogging up like genie freed from the lamp.

Waking up with sand of sleep in his eyes that cramp.

Like a ship weary clinging on to life in storm,

Walt tossed and turned in night until dawn’s sun did warm.

Rehashing hurtful words that tormented his sleep.

Visions of exploding tongue as front door closed deep.

“What were you thinking!!.” Followed by a frosty stare.

Invisible walls trapped him...

There was time when you could feel free . You could feel the sadness of a heartbreak , the excitement of new shoes for a new school year .You could feel . My grandparents spoke of it . I could always be free with my grandma . Apparently there was this old saying she tells me , “You will always have a shoulder to cry on “ . I have only ever heard her speak to me that way . She is kind , she uses he...

I’ve always struggled

Saying what I feel

Because I always question everything

Wonder if what I feel is truly real

But with you, my dear

It even more scary

Becaue all it takes are words to seal

Our fate, just three

And those three, 8 letters

Always seems crammed in my mouth

Too heavy to express

Man, you deserve better.

My love, my love

When did my change of occur?

Tell my my love,

When did we beco...

I think was born an old soul

Filled with stories

Untold

I am filled with memories

That don’t seem like my own

Dreams

I wait and watch

For an idea to come to me

An epiphany

I try and try

But I lose all my fight

I’m dying

Age comes and goes

Hideous upraisal

Overthrown

Time flies by and soon I am old and wry

Time to meet a new friend

Death

I am not afraid of passing, I’ve made my choice

And I...

The favorite child,

Child of mine

Tell me what you want

And what you prize

Near and dear

Is it worth every tear

You have shed

Alone in your room

Due to all the parental pressure?

Tell me my love

Have you gone?

above and beyond?

How far will you go

To get what you want?

Favorite child,

Child of mine

Do you deserve

everything you have?

Every prize?

Do you deserve more

Than the tears in your eyes

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

The walls around my heart,

they pound and pound and murmur.

They beat, trill, screech, scream-

they wobble, but they do not fall.

On the other side of the walls

awaits an opponent of skill.

She’s orange and thin,

she’s the most terrifying;

she ruptures organs, breaks skin,

but she never touches a thing.

She invades my mind,

while she overtakes my heart,

and I just let it happen.

She whispers i...

The Beauty Of Being Asleep (2 Word)

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

I’ve never

seen the

beauty of

being asleep.

Eyes drifting,

closing, sleeping.

Schoolwork piling,

up, up.

Eyes drifting,

but they

won’t close.

In school,

but not.

Head in

the clouds,

so high.

Eyes drifting,

but I’m

in school.

Schoolwork first,

exhaust after.

I won’t

let sleep

keep me

from school.

Even if

I’m fighting

my eyes

to work,

even if

I’m fighting

impossible opponents,

just to

work, work....

Stuck In A Loop

Olivia Golovko

Cleansing, learning, turning, chasing.

The world is stuck, all life’s in stasis.

Cleansing, loving, killing, chasing.

It stays the same,

But I believe that it’s amazing.

Cheating, lying, calling, saving.

It’s all my fault, yet I’m the hero.

Hearts are breaking.

But I don’t stop, because I know what I’m attracting.

Cleansing, burning, healing, shading,

I’m not afraid to change, but of my...

Armour

Fire will never cleanse.

the pity from you bones

You longed for it,

now it stains your soul.

Feeding your need,

to drain all energy.

You crave this feeling,

wear it like armour.

Flay the ego,

from your heart,

So you can be free,

and belong again.

Free your voice,

so you can speak,

Be listened to,

instead of just being heard,

...

i love you Baby
