Iced Out

The sun beats down on my head as each rhythmic thud beats in my ears. My cadence is picking up as the events of last fall replay in my mind. With each rumination, my heart grows colder even as my body heats up and the sweat trickles down my back. As hard as I try to literally run the anger and sense of betrayal out of me, the more resentment and hurt cling to me. I use to be carefree. I used to be...

The Loss Of Youth

Ollie

It’s a slow burn, as you walk into reality. Into the fact that life just isnt what it seems. The gut punch that sends away all of the dreams you kept so sacred as a kid. You hope and try to bid that life will go the way you want. But life just taunts. When you’re young and free, all you see are sunshine and rainbows. Not the shitty way the wind blows, trying to rip you every which way. Praying all...

That Boy

Jayla Smith

She has finally decided to leave this world drowned her with pain and expectations, The world that gave her so much self hate that she hated she was alive. She was alive, she was happy, she was confident, she was herself. But a boy made her not herself, a boy made her not herself, a boy made her sad, a boy made her unconfident, a boy made her dead. This boy was a new boy, a boy that you would call...

King Of The Coast

Laynah Rose

Through redwoods where you used to roam

Now empty of your massive prints

Man invaded your coastal home

Mountains and valleys have missed you since

Monstrous size of 8 feet tall

The largest of which weighed over a ton

No more do we stand in awe

By mid 1900’s the last were gone

Fearless predator, hunted for sport

All in the name of safe settlement

Your time on Earth was cut short

Much to our own...

A reflection

MaiTai

I feel empty, disassociated... like my body isn't really mine. As if my mind grows thoughts of its own without my permission. My eyes aren't the ones i've known my whole life. My hair seems darker but not in the way that changes over time, in the way that I never noticed it was happening. My skin itches like it was never meant to be there. I scratch it trying to tear it off, waiting for this versi...

Basically a real life convo btw😭

I sit down in the school hallway by myself as I sob silently just outside the classroom I just walked out of.

I can’t do this anymore.

Last evening, me and my parents were arguing about me and the kettle. I can’t use a kettle. Yes. A kettle. Because I pass out too often and I’ll burn myself.

Just last night, my legs had stopped working due to my FND and m...

Ode to a Sweet, Old Slowpoke

Alexander Kibble

1 min read

I wanted to write about an animal

Sadly, an extinct one

That was quite interesting, not dull

But, unfortunately, there are now none

None of these shy creatures

So deeply reserved

So relaxed and having such nice features

Seeing them go extinct is quite undeserved

Their big limbs, long necks and thick tails

Their strong saddleback shells, beautifully gray

Their massive size that never falls short ...

Dead is the air,

Around which you stand alone.

Upon this lonesome stone,

Shouldering this rage on a dare.

Storms arriving like hammers on anvils,

Between the thunder you burn sparks.

The silence we always wish to fill,

Lightening coursing to earth like sharks.

Dead is the air,

Around which we stand alone.

Now we have to atone,

Empty is the ground my soul and I will share.

Tides turn with the pu...

Bald Weirdos

Jenna

The nausea crept up her throat from the pit of her stomach; the realisation that yesterday was real.

My head collapsed into my pillow and I scream quietly.

Suddenly the door opens.

“You okay?” Mom replies softly.

I forgot that sensitive hearing runs in the family.

“Yeah,” I look up, a pout on my face.

“I told my boss off because he was being ferocious.”

“What did he do?” She sa...

Hospital Memories

Z.A

1 min read

We enter the hospital and the memories hit me immediately.

The last time I came here was last year when I had four tonic-clonic seizures in one day.

When I turned eighteen, they discharged me from outpatients and I was supposed to get a new doctor, an adult one—but I never did. My mum tried to fight to find one, I didn’t try though. I was too tired too. What was the point? It’s not like they e...
