Streetlights

Miles Schreiber

Streetlights make me think of the stars shining so brightly that I could walk forever and never get lost.

I'm a child at a concert, lulled by the music, and when it's finished I follow my father slowly out of the auditorium into the night air. The lights dazzle my drowsy eyes as I climb into the back seat of the car.

I'm an adult in New York City, and the lights never turn out. They stay shining...

Is There

Such a thing as too much,

When it is something that we.

Are not used to.

We question love when,

All we have known is disdain.

We question the sun,

When all we have known is rain.

Don’t question the peace,

Breath it in and let it be

…

I love you baby 🖤...

I swing the front door open to Luke and I’s empty house.

Once filled with happiness, chatter, love and youth, but now dark, empty and sullen.

After flipping on a few lights, I settle in the kitchen and pull a box of pad Thai out of the fridge—Luke’s. He and I had an obsession with Asian food, Chinese and Thai in particular. It was what we’d eat on the nights we were too lazy to cook.

I pop the b...

Escaping Escapism

Cadence

1 min read

Lost in the glass that’s colorful and bold

So many People but everything’s cold

Escaping escapism is a form of art

When you’re pinned to the cell with a dart

Melting into the glass and fusing to the walls

Our faces turned plastic, resembling a doll

I stared through the rose colored lenses

And slowly began to gain my senses

I wanted to leave but my legs were numb

My brain was held capti...

The Little Fellow peered up at his father as The Clever One was presenting.

“Fellows!” The Celver One boomed. “We have translated a human poem from its original lexicon. The humans, unlike the grey ones, have thousands upon thousands of languages, but this one came from English, one of the most common.”

There were murmurs among the crowd of researchers.

“What is its name?” One of the humanologi...

Sunshine And Rainbows

The world is all

Sunshine and rainbows,

Lightness and smiles,

No conflict to be seen for miles!

The world is all

Sunshine and rainbows,

Now we stand together

And boy do we stand tall.

_All this peace and love,_

_All these soaring white doves,_

_Is it too much?_

The world is all

Sunshine and rainbows,

Everyone is happy,

Or so it seems.

_Life is like a storybook,_

_You’ve gotta hook_

_People in,...

is there such thing as too much peace ?

i couldn’t imagine

too much solace

too much calm

i truly couldn’t fathom

an opportunity to be relieved of all that plagues me

no longer buried by burdens

if i sit an imagine what that means to me what could possibly bring me too much peace?

could i be so relaxed and unbothered that it becomes some sort of uncomfortable sensation.

one where i now crave a...

Better Late Than Never

“Better late than never”

As I walked towards him, I replayed all the moments we had shared. All the conversations, all the nights spent together, all the battles fought together, everything.

As she walked towards me I replayed everything I had done to get here. The manipulation, the betrayal, the break. Every time I lied, gaslighted, pretended everything.

When I reached him, I knelt down and pr...

The Shadows Know

The shadows in the corner—

they’re the only ones who’ve seen the struggle,

the sorrow.

They’re the only ones who feel the weight I carry in my chest.

Survival isn’t enough anymore.

Does resilience still matter

when every time I rise,

no one even noticed I fell?

The weight only grows heavier.

I’m the one no one worries about—

because I’m the one who always seems “okay.”

But the shadows see my s...
