As the pair crossed the roaring river, they noticed a figure waiting for them on the other side. Her scarlet red hair blew in the fierce wind, almost in a heroic way. Too bad she wasn’t a hero. They gray sand coated my unprotected feet. If I had known that she would be here- he’d have brought his sword. His sister hands slipped into his, making him feel uncomfortable. He’d never really held anyone...

Playing my heart like a game

The leaving the pieces out

Never call me by name

Weird nicknames you always shout

You cheat at the game

Try to win everytime

Somehow you still have no shame

You steal way more than pennies and dimes

The match in my heart lit on fire burning through

As you move my piece backwards you have no clue

I forgot tell you when we first met

You were playing with fire

Now you...

The lights of the party were blinding me as I pushed through the people in fancy clothing. In the back of the building, past all the people, stood a stage towering over us. On it stood a girl whose face could be seen on any corner of the city. She wore a blue sequin dress that was just a little lighter than her hair and eyes, and probaly blinded everyone at the concert due to them staring at her d...

I leaned against the white marble wall. I could barely breathe, my heart thumping out of my chest. Beneath the sound of my drumming heart was a silence, shattered by the creaking of a door being opened. A teenage boy walked in, his shining black boots clicking every time he stepped. My anxiety was joined by a jumble of other feelings I didn’t recognize. Through the overwhelming emotions, I somehow...

You can't take the pain

Blood washing away in the rain

Trying to stand

But you're not on solid land

You are not alone

There was a time when our light hadn't shone

We are all here with you

And even if you can't get out of it

Each time you are hit you get a little bit stronger

So tell the world you're not giving up

You can play her game a little longer...

I felt shocked, as the wind hit my back almost knocking me over. The sky was gray, crackling with energy. I looked at my companion who was trying to figure out a map. “After we find her we’ll return and help your mom.” I tried to put my hand on his shoulder, but he shoved me away. “I don't care about her and her wife's problems. I don't even know her, much less her name,” he looked like he was tel...

(MINOR CUSSING)

You can’t tell if your upstairs neighbor is genuinely a nice person or if they’re the devil incarnate. Especially when they never come out of the apartment. I’ve been at this apartment for a week already and my upstairs neighbor hasn’t come out of their apartment once. Hell, I don’t even know what gender they are. So today I decided to visit them. Great idea Rose, knock on the neig...

I remember

We used to play with paper boats

Watching as they float

I’d always wondered why

I remember

The scent of lemons on your T-shirt

Which somehow always matched my skirt

I’d always wonder why

I remember

You asked me on a date

It felt like it was fate

I’d always wonder why

I sit here

Tears running down my face

Missing the paper boats

Missing the matching clothes

Missing the first date

I ...

The thick forest filled with noises I could never describe, surrounded us as we headed towards the towering palace. My friends said they had a plan to get me out alive, but as we walked I started to get nervous. I knew we had to do this, I just wish I knew how. As night started to fall me and my friends silently picked up the pace. When we reached the castle my stomache did a flip. It was white la...

(It’s my birthday! I hope you all have great day!)

I didn’t ask for this job. I didn’t want to be the fear that 90% of the world is scared of. When you were a kid you were probably scared of the dark. The reason you fear me is because you don’t know what’s in the shadows. You wouldn’t believe it now but your parents were wrong about monsters. We are real, but we don’t want to hurt you. You migh...
