Once upon a time, before humans came

This planet never knew love, one cared for its flame

Upon their arrival, people admired our earth

The lush plants, endless mountains, and blue skies

The miracle of birth

The stars in the sky, that burned like our emotions

And our watch eye, seeing moon channges like metamorphosis

Thanking the moon for its light, to help in the dark

And loving how the ...

On the planet we consider home, beauty, love, and peace reign supreme, for they are the most loved. They touch the leaves with a delicate touch, leaving joy in their path. No one denies their grace, and no one dislikes them.

While they are praised, others cower beneath the shadows, waiting for their turn to be loved. This is how envy is born. Envy, just being introduced to the world, is taken in ...

Getting past the chaos is the hard part.

After that, our city is alive in every block.

The air feels lighter,

Like your mind after a walk.

And the honking of the horns,

Aren’t as loud as they seem

The blur of the street lights

Red mixes with green

Like the tree during December

But the yellow is enough

To warm the city with its ember

The stars are our lamps

The moon is the billboard

The sun does...

_Life is like a sharp stick, _I realized as I stood over the endless view. I was dangiling at the end of my life; I had reached the end of the stick. Because that’s what we’re taught. Life only gets harder from here, so by default, we are left hanging by one arm at the point of the stick, our helpless body swaying above the abyss.

I breathed in the sweet air of this infinite night. Does the worl...

As a child, me and my siblings would always joke about how if we ever got selected to participate in the Hunger Games, we would bring a used match as a token, the same one we hang around our necks as we stroll through district twelve.

Standing up there, in front of all my fellow classmates and friends, it suddenly didn’t seem as funny.

“Would anyone like to volunteer as tribute, for, what’s yo...

**F**alling behind, stumbling blindly. This is not ny life, there is a world that awaits me, right after today. A world that never ends.

**O**f course I know what to expect, after I say “I do!” Because haven’t I been waiting, of course I’ve thought it through. Forever with him, I can do.

**R**emembering the pain I felt, is what made me convinced sooner. I know to see change, you have to break,...

I sent my world a ballon today

And there it will stay forever

I watched till it was far away

Knowing it was on an adventure

I’m smiling,

knowing I created two things that can fly

But this one would never be robbed of life

Only going up into the starry sky

where my world lives and I watch from below

Tonight, before bed,

I whispered into my pillow:

“I sent you a ballon, my dearest,

It was y...

He smiles at me like a loving bird

And picks me up like I could break

He uses his lips to kiss my check

And his words to soothe my aches

He tells me his love for me, with only a look

“This much?” I flutter my lashes

“Even more” he returns

in my mind

But then why—

When she walks by

He says he could die

If he’s not by her side

If he’s not at her door,

in her head,

in her mind and her hear...
