Trees full of life,

Only to be cut with a knife.

Children who were once filled with laughter;

Only turned to screams after.

To walk along these roads of shame,

Is the true meaning of blame.

The world is dull and cruel.

The forest burn with fiery fuel.

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold;

A place once so magical now hurt to behold....

Living the same life,

Over and over.

You dropped weight like crazy.

Your heart rate fastens.

However you don’t notice.

You go to the doctor,

For a regular check up.

The doctor notice these changes.

They always notice.

They tell you to change.

You don’t find it a big deal,

And shrug it off.

Go about your day.

You cant carry stuff,

Like you used to.

Your heart beats out of your chest.

The sky was clear and blue. The ocean waters were clear and crisp.

“A beautiful day for fishing,” I whispered to myself. I threw my lure out into the ocean. I let the sound of the wind take over my mind.

As I was fishing, I caught a glimpse of a dark figure. I peer over the boat. The water was clear as the blue sky. I shrugged it off. I leaned back in my chair, staring off into the ocean. The bo...

I opened the door to find my girlfriend sitting on the couch with her arms crossed. A frown had formed on her face. The clock had just struck two in the morning. I plugged my phone in.

“Why haven’t you answered any of my calls?” She grumbled. I stared in awe.

“My phone was dead,” I explained.

“You expect me to believe that when all my calls went through,” she continued.

“It seriously was dead,”...

Aliens.

A conspiracy we wonder.

Are they real?

What do they look like?

Big black eyes

Blue rough skin.

Are they friendly?

Are they invaders?

All these questions,

But so little answers.

Wrapping my head,

To think of other life forms.

Or no life forms at all.

Both are equally terrifying....

Holding your hand in mine as you take your last breath. Anxiously waiting for you to cross over to the over side. Surrounded by white and tubes. Tears fall from my face as your breathes slow then pick up the pace. Your soft blue eyes roll into the back of your head. I have always dreaded this day.

I lean closer to your ear and whispered, “I love you.” The room felt empty. The whole world felt em...

“How was your date?” My friend asked me as I walked in the door.

“Awful, to be honest,” I replied while setting my purse down.

“What happened, Laura?” She questioned. She approached me with an open book in her hand. Another romantic tale that ends in a happy ending, when will I get my happy ending?

“The person hardly talked. Most of the date was nothing but pure silence,” I mumbled. I plopped o...

Your notes lay across the floor. Words piled into sentences of every sweet thing you said. Memories of you tear my mind. The day you walked was the day my heart shattered. I picked up the “You’re the best” note and tear it into pieces. Tearing every note one by one, leaving tears in my eyes. Tearing up rivers with every word broken. Water floods in my eyes as I linger for your sweet warm touch. Wi...

Fire lashes out. Sparks engulfing every green speck in the forest. Miles and miles of orange and yellow light destroying everything in its path. Smoke engulfing the atmosphere. A murky dark grey clouds the sky. I opened my arms to let the flames engulf me. The flesh burning off my bones. Intense burning floods every nerve in my body. Toxins fill my lungs. Coughing up smoke as oxygen depletes. Fall...

Forest

Forest of green

Forest of bark

Forest of lies

Death

And sadness

I walk in this forest

Miles and miles of shame

Every leaf with every scar

The sun covered by mistakes

With beams of light shining through 

Hoping one day it’ll shine through...
