My head hung low with sleep still in my eyes, I quietly sip my scalding black coffee. I mindlessly glared out of the dingy kitchen window. Suddenly I hear the bus chugging up the hill; interrupting my stupor. My eyes find Miss Rogers scooting her 3 grandchildren out the front door. As they all dashed to the bus stop, I couldn't stop wondering how she did it all. Raising those little ones. Working ...
Bored. Sitting at the kitchen table, I stared out of the dingy window. Just as I took a sip of my scalding coffee, I heard the bus chugging up the hill when I saw Miss Rogers scooting her 3 grandchildren out the front door. As they all dashed to the bus stop, I wondered how she did it all. Raising those little ones; working at the nursing home all those hours. Worrying, no doubt, about her daughte...
Stepping down the steps of Brooklyn, I imagined a camera across the street capturing every moment of opening the door, stepping onto the stoop, smiling at the gorgeous sunny sky, then stepping down the stairs to the front gate.
An image I cultivated in my mind, that I always saw in the movies, I was living and experiencing. And escape from a difficult life in Little Rhody brought me to the Big Ap...
i hated poetry and all its sickening rhymes,
then i was forced to write one about the hardest of times.
a heartbreaking loss of friendship.
my first ever poem, it went like thisâŠ
you promised forever and i bought that lie
wishing on all the shooting stars in the sky
that you and me would be ride or dies till the end of time.
but then you left
in the blink of an eye
i miss the laughs we ever sh...
I tried the rollercoaster
Stood in line for three hours with my mom
She was hyped and trying to get me to dance
I was not having it
It was too high and I could probably die
Never in my life have I rode a man made beast such as this
But I was getting too old not to try it
She honestly coerced me
Otherwise I would fail in my own desire
My face has my eyebrows furled the whole time
How can these pe...
The first day I saw you was also my last,
Stuck in a trance, unable to exist.
I didnât understand I could want so fast,
Chasing whilst surrounded by mist.
Obstacles ahead created by your past.
For your heart I will prosper & resist.
It took seconds for the spell to cast,
& for eternity it will persist,
Because my love is that so vast....
We all have been there ,
Every last one of us .
The first time you try something new ,
Can be both joyful and saddening all at once .
You are so happy to be doing or learning something brand new ,
But also since you donât know this yet ,
It worries you and makes you anxious .
But truly ,
Thatâs what new experiences are all about , even experiences we already have , itâs all the same .
Everything h...
Thought I was 15 when I experienced that first high
Messing with them pills my mom took from time to time
But apparently I was already chasing it at 8-9
Canât even remember guess thatâs the work of a suppressed mind
Well regardless when I get those drugs inside my system feel like I got a clear mind
And I know it ainât good but it numbs fine
And I know it ainât good but I wish I was the other...
