I perished, but sadly failed to die

Death seemed to me my only lullaby

The shadows caught in my throat

As sanity flowed out my eyes

I was done

Ready for my fate

Every whisper of the snakes seemed now true

I devoured the apple before it could bloom

Finally maybe they’ll stop

The scooped my soul in plentiful

Now is my end

Now i can finally be dead

But they leave just as they’ve licked the bowl

I...

“Okay, that should be it!”

I looked him up and down, trying to read beyond his cold front. Oblivious, his eyes lasered the words on the thick packet of paper. He seemed to murmur and mumble as his finger ran around the words and symbols that were marked on the paper. He stood tall, every part of his body seemed to be placed exactly where he wanted, I straightened my back trying to look like I to...

I speak

Hoping to make my place in the world

The words form as flowers

They come out as thorns

They catch in my throat

I swallow

I swallow it down

Yet im worried the other will drown

I run my mouth mindlessly

Thinking im safe

Ignorance in my sound

I feel a knife jerk

Then the blood trickle down

My breath quickens

I must look like a clown

But why should I cry?

Because that’s what I’ll stay

S...

I’ve always wondered what this all was, it started a few weeks ago. Every morning, on my skin laid a new scar. At first I thought I was imagining it, but no. No pain, no memory, no reason, it just appears. It started with small ones on my feet, hands then a few bigger ones on my face and neck.

I was sitting swaying my feet impatiently for the bus to arrive, the brisk air freezing my lungs. It wa...

My mind full of color, imagination, and love. I long to be with it forever. Each pencil stroke makes my heart beats faster. I just can’t look away, the color, design, feeling, to me it’s my world. Every time I blink, I catch a glimpse of the beauty, and every night in my dreams I adore it all over again. I admire every speck and flaw, whenever I stumble it seems to catch me before I fall.

I ...

Something feels off, I looked up at my waving neighbor as I walked past his house.

“Good morning!” He said gleefully just as always.

I smiled back matching his attitude

“Good-“ my smile faded, looking down at my watch. “It’s-it’s 4 in the afternoon?” I answered staring puzzled at my watch, he’s not usually one to misspeak.

I looked back up at him, but no one was there… Odd… I continued back ...

The sunrise

Occurs every day

She awaits it

Desperately trying to capture it

So she can hold it forever

She tries everything

And lives in sorrow

Awaiting for the sunrise tomorrow

She tries everything but enjoying the day

She thinks of his face

She sees him in the clouds

Always acknowledging his grace

But at this pace

There won’t be another man she’ll take

She says

“It seems it should be me an...

Darkness, I was only living in the beeping of my heart. Breathing, I could now hear my breathing, the darkness was peaceful, despite that I could feel that this was an aftermath of something horrible. My heart and lungs sung a harmonious song to the darkness. The next thing to come into my senses was the pain. My breathing sped up at the sound of the rouge rift of the pain through the harmonious v...

Sit in line and wait

Only eat what’s on your plate

Just saying yes or no

Not questioning if there is more to know

This leads to an easy fate

Yet it’s rather boring and slow

Walking through life on a paved road

It has no roses to show

Taking all there is to take

Might also leave your back with an ache

Yet you’ll walk life seeing many

Despite people saying you need more then a penny

Wearing what pe...

The sound of glass shattering, the dreaded sounds of screams. I was stuck in a shrinking black room, the darkness somehow holding screams. The sound of a car screeching, everything breaking, and the reacting feeling of my heart being yanked into my head, making my head throb.

“Not again!” I held my head clenching my fingers over my ears, trying to rip the sound from my ears. The screaming walls s...
