Conscience

Sunflower Penguin

1 min read

Guilt is a heavy weight upon the heart. Sometimes you try to justify the things you've done; Finding loop holes to try things you know you shouldnt But in the end, you ask yourself: was it worth it? You sometimes had moments of clarity Allowing you to see the bigger picture But you denied their truths, and said, not yet. Soon but not yet. Living in the past is useless Worrying constantly about the...

As I locked the door and slipped off my shoes, I walked to the kitchen to start preparing some coffee. I hear thumping on the floor above, as if someone’s jumping up and down. Then I hear an excited scream, “This is going to be the best thing ever!”

A second voice joins in, “Alright, we're gonna need ribbons, we're gonna need pink, we're gonna need balloons, and most importantly...

Cake!” “For S...

Swallow. Hidden. Guilt.

Swallow down the words you want to say.

Hidden in your heart is anger and harsh feelings of betrayal.

Guilt will forever haunt you if you act rashly and destroy that which cannot be remade....

Gift

“If watching cartoons has taught me anything, it's that ninja never quit.” With stronger determination, the black-clad little boy tightened his headband (which was just one of his dad’s black ties), and he continued to try to learn how to ride the bike. He had received this new gift from his mom, and he was not going to give up on it. It was the first thing he had gotten from her in a long, long t...

It Wasn’t Your Fault

I stared into his dark green eyes, so changed and clouded with hatred, as I tried not to flinch away from the gun pressed against my head. The gun he was currently holding against my head. My hands started shaking as I held them up in surrender. Not out of fear only, but also shock that he would ever do that; threaten me. I know he’s not in his right mind, but it still hurts.

“Please,” I begged, ...

Dear Diary,

Today has not been a good day. I tried getting along with my brother today, but he makes it impossible. Earlier today, I asked him the simple question, “Why are you afraid of water?” and he just glared at me as if I had done something wrong. Like, what's his problem? There's nothing wrong with water, don't we need it to live?? Anyway, after glaring for n...

Mistake

Bob wanted to be a superhero. That's all he ever wanted. He just wanted to be like the heroes in his comics and favorite shows. He decided to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower one day, to see the world from a new perspective. He walked around “hiding behind columns every few steps and scouting the area suspiciously. His eyes widened when he saw a toddler crying on the ground as multiple adults sim...

Nothing

Sunflower Penguin

This is indeed unimaginable, for one cannot truly describe nothing. Now, this nothingness is different than just air or darkness. The emptiness of space outside of the atmosphere is much closer than the emptiness in an empty water bottle to true nothingness. Before the creation of the universe I would imagine a dark void, but would this be accurate, for, in order to have a space with darkness, the...

“More Like A Vigilante”

It was late at night. The road was empty but for the few passing cars every now and then. The wind blew in the streets and down the dark alleyways. Speaking of which, Robin had just decided that going down one of those was a great idea for a shortcut.

He’d had a long day and many things he had to deal with. He didn’t notice there were other people further down until he heard them whispering afte...
