As I entered the room, my back began to shiver knowing I was entering what could possibly be my doom. The room had a potent smell that could leave stains on my shirt and It was nearly pitch black but I could see good enough to the point I could indicate the light switch. I flipped it and the lights were on. My jaw dropped and a tear trickled down my left cheek as limbs were hanging right before me...

Bees offer honey far more readily than they can sting

The fly in the air in the hot timid spring

The buzz so casually while they move

As each of them follow their own groove

They bring nature in to its calm to give to earth

As bees mate they offer a new birth

Idk, I’m not good wid poems...

I had my rights taken away from me when I was sentenced to prison by a cruel and vile regime. I was silenced for speaking out against a genocide that was taking place under our noses. My voice was silenced by a government whose only objective is to be seen powerful and intolerant to the subordinate citizens that fear the leaders that be. I didn’t want to be amongst the fearful, so I chose to speak...

The train conductor: “Here you go young kid, a ticket to anywhere you wanna go”

The boy: “you mean this can take me anywhere I want?”

Conductor: “indeed son”

The boy: “oh right, I forgot.”

Conductor: “that’s okay, where else?”

I reach for my phone with no hesitation and I dial 9-1-1. My face is dripping in sweat, my throat feels like it’s on fire and hands are rattling more than a washing machine. The operator in the phone finally reaches back, “Is everything okay?”, as I shout out, “No. My girlfriend was killed, she’s laying on the floor bloody and m-massacred. [breathes] I need someone immediately.” I struggle with my...

[Exhale] OKAY. It’s only my first day here and I don’t know what I’m doing. I thought I did but I just be lying to myself if I keep telling myself I do. What the hell even is this place? This is not what I signed up for, and everything I thought I learned in school is redundant as of this moment. Oh man, I didn’t think this situation would ever occur but what am I gonna do? It happened and I can’t...

It was the last time that she would stand on that welcome mat before she would drift away from the man she once called love. She turned around and saw the half empty house with everything but her stuff. She looked down on the mat and saw that the first three letters in WELCOME were either faded or peeled off due to wear and tear. Her face was glued to the ground as she dared herself not to look up...

She was someone who dared to step out of her boundaries for the greater good of her own benefits but she had struggled to see that within her. She was someone who knew how fragile she was but instead would carry heavy stones on her back because it made her look strong. She was someone who felt saddened by the evils of past relationships but wouldn’t admit to her obsession of these addictions. She ...
