I waved goodbye,

Sitting atop the boxes you’d left behind,

Watching as you pulled from my driveway.

Gravity came in waves,

Drowning me in relief, guilt, and sorrow.

I felt the moon yanked from the sky.

I stepped into fresh air,

But even the air seemed eager to swallow me.

I touched skin,

And saw unfamiliar faces wash over me in waves.

Then you appeared.

I tried to wave you off,

But you wou...

Time to get set and join the set.

I set a reminder and now it’s time to be on set.

I’ve set my mind on this and now I’m set up to do this....

What if tears tear straight through my eyes and through the skin of my cheeks? Would it matter what wounds the tears leave behind? Would it matter if I shrieked from the acidic tears melting my skin, dissolving my face into an unrecognizable mess?

What if tears tear through my heart because of how you tear me apart with your words and starve me of love because, to you, nothing I ever do is good e...

Wave in the sea hurtles at speed in the windy like chariots in the clouds

Surface disturbed

Rise and roar of thunderous fire

Water Vapor rising and clawing

Eroding the coast

Crashing on the rocks the ripples felt around the coast and in to distance a woman waves at the horizon....

Today is my first day of school at HarmonyHorizon Academy and I’m not ready! I woke up that morning at 5:30 am. I decided to curl my jet-black hair and changed into the issued school uniform, a blue skirt and white button up top with Mary Jane’s. I said goodbye to my mom after I ate breakfast and headed to the bus stop.

When I got to my school the bell was ringing to go to first period. I bol...

Blink. And I'm plunged into darkness.

The dark isn't the start of my fear it's the unknown.

It's that the stretching desolate space around me could be hiding anything,

Blink. And a tear starts to form.

The corners of my vision become blurred as the tiny droplet spills over the edge and down onto my burning cheeks,

Only to be followed by more to come,

And that's the ...

It was Fall again, her favourite time of the year. Maple coloured leaves began their fall from the heights of the tree branches, withering not long after landing on the pavement. As night fell, the girl wandered aimlessly throughout a bustling park, enjoying the views of the season. A child running took a fall and scraped their knee in her path. She looked down, concerned, but decided not to inter...

I should have seen it coming.

Ever since the day I met him, he always wanted change. It started small; the way I dressed, the way I laughed, smiled. But then the adjustments got bigger. More personal. The way I spoke, the way I moved - never preserve, always alter.

We would take a photo. He would edit me beyond recognition before I even got a chance to see it. Even skin tone here, erase a pimp...

Grant stood on watch. He brushed his grey bushy moustache with his fingers. He adjusted his coonskin cap as it became a bit warm under it. It was a cold night so he didn’t mind it. He stood between the wilderness and a semi-civilised class. He wasn’t really on one side or the either. He was a middle ground of the two.

I remember it like it was yesterday. The rotting wood that my house was built out of was chilled. The night was eerie. Mama tucked me into bed and the chipped window blew a sharp gust of air inside, which froze my arms poking out of the quilt papa made for me. I held my stuffed bear, Rosalie close as mama and papa sang a lullaby for me. The night seemed tense. I was too young to understand, but th...
