Everyone has the same fate.
Billions of people,all unique and different in all kinds of ways yet we all are destined to the same fate…Death.

The real question here is why are we here and how?

How does nothing fit into a sentence?
Loss stuffed into swelling syllables
By a white coated man with
God in his words and pain in his eyes.
Nothing to echo round the empty consonants and vowels,
But the agony of his poor widow's howls.
He died at 5:13am at age 50.
Future folded. Once then twice.
Straining against the torn edges
Of the words.
They say the minute hi...
Isn’t it funny?
One minute, we’re running in circles. We’re happy. The next, we’re falling. Darkness holds us close. No, we never know when it’ll happen— or who it’ll happen to. There’s no way to know until it’s close enough.

“What are you saying?” I ask, my eyes on the floor.
“I’m saying,” he lifts a hand to his neck, “Well I’m saying that.”
I could feel the sting of tears crawling into my eyes, “Just say it!”
My head shoots up to meet his nervous eyes, “Just say it Dae,” I hold back tears my voice cracking, “Just say it.”
He...
perfect smiles, white lies,
nobody to notice when she cries,
doors slammed, parents mad,
how were they to know
she felt so sad,
cradling her little sister,
she was only there to assist her,
quiet, quiet, don’t cry,
this is the last time,
oh what a lie,
why were we even born?
two happy lives, needing to be torn,
it’s not our fault, we did not deserve this,
but isn’t it odd that
we’ve never seen ...
“Princess Madeleine, to what do I owe this pleasure?” questioned Princess Ophelia in a sweet tone. I must be interrupted her tea time, seeing the fact that she was sipping tea on the balcony.
“Oh for the sake of heaven, drop the niceties, Ophelia,” I warned. “Where is Elliot?”
Obviously, I struck a nerve because Ophelia’s face morphed into one of disgust, “I can not seem to find a reason why you...
“Why did you become a Guardian?”
The question, while innocuous, startles Irene. It’s a question she’s heard dozens of times before and the answer is always rather bland amongst all of the Guardians. There is the typical answers of wanting to protect the citizens or serve justice to the wrongs of the world. There is the thinly-veiled excuse of craving fame and fortune, or even craving the taste ...
