It was getting dark, and me and Spencer were walking along the beach, with our toes drenched with wet sand due to the sprinkle of rain earlier today. My short brown hair was sandy, the waves of it salty. Spencer’s was rather light, his blond hair light from the ultraviolet rays in the afternoon. We were hand in hand, his fingers caressing mine, squeezing each other’s. “Lindsay,”

He let go of my...

The house smelled like me. My fur smelled like Dawn dish soap because Red Hair Lady had recently gave me a bath. I walked wobbly to my pink circular bed, and put my little chin down against it. Red Hair Lady walked inside but she looked more Exhausted Lady. She ran up to me and pet me and kissed my head and tapped my nose. I licked her hand and layed back down.

I noticed something, though.

It s...

oh, the paper boats are rather dramatic

they barely stay afloat due to their rather light buoyancy

oh, the scent of lemons are rather sour

they have an intimidating scent

but don’t hold any power

because it’s just citrus juice

and sour too

oh, tears can be very different from each other

it could be a rip into something

or emotional sadness or joy coming from the wetness of our eyes

all...

As the hazy light filtered through the trees

I had felt a rather chilly breeze

I saw a glow, a shiny bright light

I knew something hadn’t been right

I also saw some trees in front of me

Or it was my hazy vision possibly

But I kept paddling forward

Eager to see what lies ahead of me...

I was starting my junior year. I mean, of course I was nervous, but I never showed it. Everything was going to be fine.

It was time. “Okay honey, I’ll see you later this evening,” I smiled, hiding the nervousness I was feeling. “Yep, see ya!” Well that was a little too much, but I don’t wanna seem upset.

I was in the restroom before class, trying to calm my nerves. My hands were shaking but loo...

Everyone was in their arranged marriages. I didn’t just want to be married just because of the idea of it. Not lust, or just for touch, I wanted love. Genuine love. Friendship. Feelings.

My best friend, Monica, was forced to marry someone she went to school with. His name was Marcus. They had been friends, close friends, just nothing ever romantic. I had friends that were boys, they were mature,...

“I prayed this was one of my smaller mistakes.” Lilliana smiled softly, covering her face with her hands. “I’ve always wanted to be a perfectionist, and look how that turned out,” she leaned toward Easton. “I’ve realized now that I’ve been a horrible person, and I need to be more careful about the things I say and do.” Easton took her hand, rubbing it softly. “It’s okay, this definitely was one of...

I had to leave my best friend, the only boy I truly really cared for. He was everything . I loved him.

I was leaving the country. I had to return back to Sweden. I really didn’t want to. But there was no alternative to the situation I was in.

He looked me in the eyes, his green eyes desperate and yearning. “I will always love you, Astrid. You are my shining star, the light for me when it gets ...

oh, talking with the devil

it’s a nightmare

he tries to manipulate me

into believing his lies

while meanwhile

i will always try to deny

his mind control

because even though

he thinks he’s influential

but really he is a joke

all of his hope

will never come to me

when i have Jesus....

cleansing is a work of art

as if you need to cleanse it all

make it all tidy

no stains

no mess

you may clean it

but you will never forget it

just because it’s clean

doesn’t mean it’s any less dirty

just because it looks better

or spotless

doesn’t make it any less dirty

just because you have cleansed it

doesn’t make it ANY LESS DIRTY....
