I’m a ticking bomb,

just wait and see.

I reread the Psalm,

And tried to believe.

They know I’m a fraud,

A try-hard zombie,

I felt the wrath of God,

Come upon me.

As everyone judged,

I heard a voice.

“Don’t hold a grudge,

you have a choice.

Believe or don’t believe,

it’s up to you,

but before you deceive,

know that I’m true.”...

Eliana May stands at the front of the college class, she’s a new student to the class, she transferred from an art major to a coding major.

The sound of liquid hitting the solid hardwood floor echoes in her ears as there is some muttering. The warm liquid running down her legs, her jeans soaked. Tears start brimming

Professor Francis Anderson stands in front of her. “Alright class, let’s go work...

My family and I went to scratch angle fair. I waited so long to join the ride. There finally on the ride. It started to spin. My short went up. Everyone saw. Good thing I had a brae on. That replayed in my head. Crazy...

it feels embarrassing to exist

im embarrassed to be walking around in my ugly face acting like im normal

like maybe i look okay

i look so bad

everyone’s clear skin reflects on the red scabs of my picked and oily skin

everyones clothing style and body shape is towered over by my odd curves and weird, ugly style

my body does the clothes no justice and vice versa

it’s embarrassing to b...

The auditorium buzzed with excitement as the annual talent show approached its climax. The stage was set, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the center where the final act was about to perform. I stood backstage, heart racing, rehearsing my lines for what was supposed to be the highlight of the evening: my comedic monologue.

As I stepped into the spotlight, the audience erupted into a...

*The Wife pulls into the driveway*

*While pulling in she sees a familiar car*

*The Wife finally gets into park*

*Gets out of the vehicle and runs to the door*

While emotions are high for the wife, she’s yet so broken. She’s slowly walking into the house, calling her husband’s name. “Michael, Michael, how could you?!” She says while sobbing frantically. While she’s crying and sobbing, all she sees...

Jorge: Hurry! We’re going to be late!

Me: Coming! I ran towards the front door. Grabbing my tuxedo jacket and keys on the way out.

Jorge was already in the car reading something on their phone.

Jorge: Just checking the route. There isn’t too much traffic so we should be good on time.

Me: Thanks for checking and for being on it.

Jorge: What would you do without me?

We both laugh and lean in ...

We all have done stupid embarrassing things. Things we will regret when we’re older. For instance, I would make up the stupidest excuses and stories, I had an imagination that was way too vivid and I would talk about imaginary things like they were real.

We all have done things like this. I used to think there were 27 letters in the alphabet. I was stupid and I’ve looked back and cringed at thes...

I walked through the cafeteria with a lunch tray, minding my own business and looking for a spot to sit when I slipped.

Apparently I had walked right past a floor-is-wet sign.

I landed smack on my butt, my cheeks flaming red as I tried to stand up. But, of course, I slipped before I was even standing.

I heard the cafeteria go silent as they watched me before bursting into laughter.

I closed...

I like you! I confessed, but the girl who I’d thought could do no wrong looked uncomfortable almost like my pressence was an old trash bag she forgot about. She looked like she wanted to escape, she wanted to be no where near this boy who was putting his heart on the line. She looked around the room at the faces of everyone around, like they could somehow help her out of this mess, but of course I...
