Pain?

My day was great

My day was swell

Was and my friends house

Till everything

crumbled and fell


I don’t feel good

I actually feel awful

Had to leave early

For its what seemed lawful


Bled through my clothes

Took so much ibuprofen

Cried over soda

Slept for 2 hours


Showered twice

Will it fix me if i sit in rice?

It hurts to move

My legs oh my lord


Had blood work done last week

So they can tell me ...

The Friend I Understand

I get it

I know

It makes sense that you never include me in conversations

Makes sense that you never talked to me in class

But still copied off me

I get why you invited all my friends to the mall but not me

It’s fine that you lied and told the one friend I had, that I had been invited and just didn’t come

I don’t mind that I gave you a second chance

Only to watch you throw it away when you moved, ...

Good day

Today the sun shines bright

I am almost blinded by the light

Solar Flare Days

Caught in a solar flare spinning around the sun

It tinges everything in a red haze

The sky is bluer, water shinier, watermelon sweeter

In the heat of a solar flare day


Solar flare days snuck up on me

While I reveled in the last vestiges

Of a spring long sprung

Humid, horrid tentacles sneaking

A perfect strike


Oh, solar flare days

Warm and bright and scorching

Searing into the skin, burning all i...

Next Year

A promotion

Now in motion

My manager began to preach


After all this while

I began to smile

This is as sweet as a peach


My dream in hand

My lifelong plan

All within reach


Goals met

Meeting set

I even prepared a speech


Everyone arrives

But to my surprise

He's here, that stupid leech


This can't be true

What should I do?

Seriously, why is he here?


The meeting starts

Loud beating hearts

Anticipat...

Better

I've been getting better

At what you might say.

Friendship loss

I talked to a friend online for over 2 years then she just kind of left and blocked me on everything because her boyfriend made her.

I thought she was my bestfriend

But now I have someone better

Someone i never asked for

She was just there

I may have found someone better but damage still remains.

Like the fact I can't think about my...

Sunlit Things

“Sunlit Things”

by Aria Virelion


I love the way the morning breaks—

in golden spills across the floor,

as if the sun itself awakes

to press a kiss against the door.

The wind hums low—a lullaby,

the flowers lift their painted heads.

The world feels light. The sky feels high.

And even silence softly treads.


Today, I braid the morning in,

thread light through loops of memory.

I almost taste what co...
