Silently, I grasped all the hope I had left

The wind blew my hair like a melody

And I held the paper tightly

A paper filled with my life and dreams

A damp paper sat beneath tired fingers

My tears flowed through the lines

Smudging the memories held by beautiful words

And I tried to flow through the pain and the hurt

The ocean looked back at weary hazel eyes

Its swift beats demanded an answer from...

Dark shallows of void

Swallow us up to hide

For this dangerous hue

Mask what's really inside

Daily, we cover the truth

To win desired acceptance

In theese times of youth

The dark kills the difference

This tragic life is the abscene of light

Stay in the dark to survive

Mimic the trends to fit in

Dont shine too bright

If met with the mother of light

The end is near

Who wouldve thought

The dark...

“Mandy. Please, look at me.” I watch as his worried face trails on mine, and he grabs my chin slowly, his handsome onyx eyes lingering over me. “What is it?”

My heart pounds beneath my chest. “Is- Is he dead?” I fearfully look over at an old man lying in a pool of blood on a tiled floor. I dont understand. We were only going to take money from him so we could run away together, to fulfill our dre...

The Light flickers

And the wind sways

As the dark whispers

Through a boundless maze

But be careful

Dont creep too close

For nights like these

Often have saddened hosts

The rough twigs snap

And a shadow stalks

But don't be so scared

They're only here to talk

One after your secrets

One, looking for weakness

To see inside the things

You carefully keep hidden

So don’t give in

The next time you he...

When I quietly reminisce

The memories are bittersweet

But when it’s you, those times I miss

The burden of memory

Takes a painful toll on me

Knowing I can’t go back in time

But still, I shamefully plea

I reminisce on the happy times

When I was once wealthy

Wealthy with your presence

But I always recall the ones that make me feel guilty

Times when I noticed your fading happiness

Days when I saw ...

"A queen is supposed to be merciful, hm?" She sits tall on her throne, poised and regal. She looks down at her people, having no sympathy for the bloodied and lifeless bodies around her. "Hmm?" She calls out again, but no one dares to look at her. A smile spreads across her lips. "But in this world, being queen means blood."

She takes in the frightened faces filled with loathing and sweet pain. ...

The norms of adolescence have me so tightly bound to a rope. The tethers of it burn across my neck- I hopelessly choke.

My eyelashes are straight—uncurly like the girls my age. So I pinch them upwards inch by inch until my eyelids are red and swollen as tears shed.

My clothes aren’t in style anymore, so I’ll go to the store and spend every lost penny on my untrendy jeans—head above the shore.

N...

You drain me. Every part of me.

The pain floods through my whole body so suddenly-

The currents pull out fragments of my heart

You leave me in utter despair, slowly tearing me apart

The tears envelope me, each one stronger than the last

The flesh of my skin burns with each drop that comes so fast

Lighting cracks, electrifying my tired body, zapping only me

I don't know why, all I want is to be...

Life without you

Is a life of emptiness

A life where my heart

Holds no happiness

Life without you

Gives me no hope

Everyday tears would fall

Ones filled with mope

Life without you

Would drain out my soul

Leaving it helpless

All colors would dull

A life without you

Would be the end of me

And now that your gone

I'll set my tired soul free

So when I die

I hope your waiting

To see me in the sky

I...

Warm autumn breeze brushes past my skin, and I feel every delightful piece of it as a delicious cup of coffee warms my hands. I look around a busy coffee shop, butt happy and comfortable at my favorite spot that I had to fight someone to get.

_Peace. Finally._

See, my life hasn't always been peaceful, more so, Reckless, and fun, with crazy outbursts. But I’ve put that life behind me. Well... Ma...
