“Oh, Maxwell! Hi!” I exclaim.

I notice the bouquet of flowers in his hand and scan his face.

“What is this for?” I ask nervously.

“Nari,” He says.

He looks at me, never breaking eye contact and goes down on one knee.

“Maxwell…” I say quietly.

“Nari, from the moment I met you, the moment I laid eyes on you. I knew you were the one. Your eyes, your smile, your personality, I love everythin...

The setting takes place during the time of Nazi Germany.

“Aleksandra.” I ask.

“Yes?” Aleksandra replies.

“There is a young man waiting for you outside. He kept calling out your name. Who is he?” I question.

Aleksandra looks through the window and says, “Nothing, nobody. I don’t know.” She responds quickly and nervously.

I look outside the window and exam him closely.

I see the young ma...

As I grow older,

It becomes harder to take risks

I watch as others face their fears

But, I simply cannot

I’ve lost many things due to being scared

but then again,

how do you lose something you never had?

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take....

I’ve seen much

Yet the world seems small

I’ve experienced the same things coming and going

Lovers coming together

People breaking apart

Violence hurting my soil

I’ve seen much

Yet I haven’t

Where will the next 200 take me?...

I saw a mysterious package, it was addressed to me. It was a box wrapped with white wrapping paper, but with no return address. But I decided to open it anyway. I mean what’s the worst that can happen, I thought.

I began to open the package and saw a pair of glasses. I thought nothing of it, until I tried them on.

I looked at myself in the mirror and thought I looked cute. As I was posing in f...

Paper boats

the ones we used to make

the scent of lemons

like the detergent we used to use

and tears,

tears that left my body after you left,

left the world....

I was walking along the beach and found a washed up journal.

“Hey! Look what I found.” I yelled across the beach.

My sister came running and yanked the journal out of my hand.

“What is it?” She replied.

It read, “Captain John”. I said.

“Who’s that” My sister asked.

“I dunno, but let’s open it.” I said.

First entry

Day one:

It is the year 1780, my first voyage. My crew is the best of all the lan...

Peter slowly grabbed Sadie’s hand, placing it towards his heart.

“You know my love is deep for you. I love you.” Said Peter.

Sadie stood still. She was trembling nervously.

“I- um.” Replied Sadie, looking down.

Peter lifted Sadie’s head slowly, looking into her green eyes.

“You’ve never told me that before.” Whispered Sadie softly.

“Do you love me back?” Peter asked.

Sadie still trem...

I fly and I watch,

I am a symbol

A symbol of peace and hope.

I wish others saw me for my beauty,

but all I feel is a symbol

Peace is a beauty

But what is peace without being acknowledged

I am a creature

A pure innocent creature

But all they see me for is a symbol

A symbol of hope and peace

I hope I captivate you, like you captivate me....

My doctor had told me my tumor had gotten progressively worse. And nobody, but my doctor and I knew that I was dying.

I had one wish, and it was for Andrew, the guy on the football team to fall in love with me.

I am a sophomore in college and he’s a senior, making him 2 years my senior.

I decided not to tell my parents that I was dying. I felt as when I die, it will be like a bandage being ri...
