It was late one night. Raining. Cold. I was five. My parents said everything was going to be fine. Parent lie. Thunder shook the house. The fire was fading. I was scared. My parents left me. It was all so cold. The lights flickered. Darkness. I screamed. No sound came out. I tried to move but my feet were stuck. My body froze. I couldn’t move. Everything was dark. Cold. Scary. I was alone. But I d...

Sunny days

And mostly everything going the right way

Despite the few mistakes

I know that it’s not me who I should hate

And when the sun goes down

I can’t help but smile instead of frown

Even in the dark times

I don’t want everything to be in a straight line

Because for me

Everything is just as it is meant to be...

Have you ever been afraid?

If you have, was it a real fear or just fake?

Do you ever wonder if things are truly real?

If there is any threat at all?

Or are you the one who is the monster?

Do you ever question if anyone will hear your stories?

Your pain?

Your cries?

Do you think that sometimes it would be better for you to disappear?

If anyone would even realize your missing?

Do you ever realize th...

A blank mind in the empty night

My empty heart with no hope or light

Dead dreams I once held onto so dearly

Now are washed away so merely

The sky once full of stars seemed dead and cold

A place once magical now hurt to behold...

It has been three christmases since my father left to join the military.

I grab a piece of paper, a pen, and start to write my letter to Santa.

“Dear Santa Claus, I hope everything goes well for you and the elves with this year’s Christmas.

Here is my list for what I want for Christmas.

Number One, I want a new puppy since the last one passed.

Number Two, I need a new phone since my old one is bro...

I gasp in awe as I gaze at the castle. I feel the excitement bubbling inside me. Out of all the things I’ve experience since I fell into this book, this one makes it to the very top. There are red trees from autumn’s winds. The cool breeze feels nice on my face. I realize that not everything is so bad when I fell into this story. I hear shuffling from the bushes behind me. I turn to see the stran...

Secretive and deceiving

Only a villain can do that

Bad intentions and so believing

Only the persuasive can cause that

Preys on the gullible and weaklings

Only a monster would do that

Innocently acting and speaking

Then, when does a man become a monster?...

I hide inside my mind

But that doesn’t always keep me safe

I hide inside my thoughts

Creating little stories in my mind to separate from reality

I hide inside myself

Because I’m too afraid to open up...

I gaze at the waterfall in awe. The sound of the falling, rushing water was beautiful and tranquil. I hear Hazel snort from beneath be. I let my horses dark brown mane. I let out a sigh.

“Ain’t it beautiful?” I breathe.

Hazel neither softly in agreement and lifts his head to look at the waterfall.

“This is where we’re going, Haze, to find what’s beyond tomorrow.” I brush my fingers ...

The blood on our hands

Our souls now tied together with invisible bands

I never want this life you gave me

I just wished you had let me be

Now I’m bounded to this future I didn’t deserve

But the only I needed to change it all was the nerve

Here I’m stuck in this seemingly thick mud

But there was still that rose you have that was as red as blood...
