After an Ana-ordered midnight shower in the previously-unknown upstairs bathroom, I was exhausted, and sat down on the couch, opposite the strung-out pair of Ray and Sky, who were watching _Rebel Without A Cause_ with constricted pupils and half-closed eyelids.

I watched the movie sleepily, braiding back my damp hair, while James Dean acted all angsty and smoked cigarettes and stuff.

I am…not sure

Whether

The life of me

The death of me

You are.

I scraped

My knees

and

My heart

Eventually

They broke apart

They broke apart,

eventually.

My heart

and

My knees,

I scraped.

You are-

the death of me

The life of me

my life is a graveyard of buried hopes

this saying comes to mind as im laying in these depths

i cant figure out a way to pull me out and away

escaping doesnt seem possible, leaving too

because i am it, i live it each day

and sometimes i like deep water, i fight to stay here

i can never just float, although the views are maybe better

i cant because floating would be loosing the battle

i dont know ...

I know they were lying. I know this was the end. I know grandma will not come back from the hospital alive. I know it. I just…I hate it. I don’t wanna lose her. It’s unfair. She was the best human I could imagine. She taught me cooking and baking. She taught me how to fix my clothes. And she gave me the best advice. “It’s a modern world. You have rights I never had. Don’t make yourself dependent o...

“Hey… Dad. It’s me.

I don’t know if this number still works, or if you even check your messages anymore, but…I’m leaving this just in case.

It’s…been a long time. I’ve started and erased this call more times than I can count. But I guess I need to say this, finally. Out loud.

After Mom died, everything fell apart.

I know she was your whole world. She was mine too. But the way you changed afte...

I Hate The Sky

When I was little, I used to lay outside and reach my hands up to the sky above, convinced I could touch the great moving clouds of if I just extended my arms a little further and run my palms over the world no ground dwellers could see. With every growth spurt, I would try again and again and again with no progress. My parents kept encouraging me.

“Never stop reaching for great hights,” my mothe...

“Okay, then leave!”, I scream at him. Nick looks at me angry and shocked. He grabs his bag. “Okay, call me if you calmed down.” “I AM CALM!” He shakes his head and leaves my dorm room. I feel like I got punched in the stomach. Why was he acting like that? Nick never acted like that. He always assured me that I don’t have to be concerned when I saw others flirting with him. But today I saw another ...

Life is just all wrong

Nothing will replace her there

In my broken heart

I see her waving

In the bright blue sky she’s in

I just want to go

Today’s her birthday

She smiled at me just now

And I smiled too

I flip through photos

Everywhere she is still there

And she always will

She is looking down

At me from her place above

I think she’s at peace....

I know why the caged bird sings

I know the reason they grow wings

Songbirds are not kept inside

Bars are not where they reside

But I know that they knew all along

The wild they seek

Is in

Looking Back

Chapter 5

Looking back,

I didn’t know I would end up here…

a wife and child,

a stable job.

My son is now 7 years old and in elementary school.

We spoil him with lots of love and affection,

and it’s got me thinking…

about my mom.

She passed when I was young,

but I still remember her voice vividly.

I recalled something she once said to me:

“Take care of your father once you’re older. He might get a little...
