I’m like a ticking time bomb.

It’s only a matter of time.

I shove my emotions down my throat.

Shhh, they don’t have to know.

Sometimes I don’t cry for weeks,

but we all know that’s healthy… right?

_”It’s ok, I can do this,”_

I tell myself.

But maybe I can’t.

I’m like a professional actress,

I’ll show you whatever emotion you like.

No matter what I’m feeling,

I’ll make sure you feel right.

Who c...

Because the blade is never big enough

The cut is never deep enough

The blood is never red enough

To ease the pain

The walls the walls are closing in

My lungs my lungs are caving in

I can’t I cannot breathe again

I really cant do this again

Because the lies are never true enough

The voices never knew enough

My brain it never grew enough

To let them in

No matter what I try to say

No matter what I...

pounding my brain is pulsing

it hurts your words flood in one ear

out the other

a drug that isn't addicting yet just as awful

eyes droop heads sink

“pick your heads up and pay attention”

how can i when i’ve spent all night doing the work you assigned me

the ink of my pen smeared with my sleepless nights

and strangled breaths crushed by the weight of my backpack

and you expect me to focus?

The man arrived in a shining and beautiful sky dimension, the inhabitants of the place began to make fun of his horns and skeletal wings. He tried to politely ask them to stop, but they wouldn’t stop. Finally, he forcefully and aggressively said, “I never belonged here anyway.”...

Looking back, I am surprised that nobody thought of me as a freak. They should have. I looked different than Elliott and all his friends. My hands were deformed. My head was too big. I was chubby. But they were so nice to me. They took me in as one of their own. They were my true friends.

Of course, they knew I was lost. And they knew that my parents would not have abandoned me in a stra...

“I dreamed about a lion.”

I was sitting on the top bunk, my feet dangling from the side. The prison had been on lockdown for four days now. Tony, my cellie, was sitting at the small table bolted to the wall. He was flipping through an old magazine. Four days is a long time to be locked in a 6-by-8-foot cell.

“A lion? Are you crazy, man?” Tony jumped up, animated as always, rumbling on about how ...

I never speak. I never sigh. I never say anything, and no one asks why. But when I speak, it's as if I never made a sound. Not even a peep. As if my words were muffled, by a hand over my mouth. As if I were invisible to the human eye. A ghost that's yet to die.

But when you made me known and you had the heart to show me, I became a glutton.

I wanted to be out and not shut in. Every thing and pers...

Belong. Such a strong word. Whether you fit in with the puzzle, or just a swapped piece. Whether you are white sheep or a black sheep.

Whether you feel welcome.

I never belonged in my family. They are short, black hairand dark skinned, and I’m tall, red hair and light skinned, or aka, I’m adopted and their not. They pitied me when I was young, but now I’m “not worth working for.”

I have to earn...

News traveled fast.

Nova would have thought the castle had more important matters to attend to but here she is. It just takes her presence in the training grounds for people to start whispering behind her back.

But if they had any guts, they would say it to her face.

It is really easy to say things when you think they can’t hear you. She would love to see their expressions in front of her wit...
