Is lost.

Dad.


Any day,

Anything

Can be lost.

It’s not

Myself....

Diamond

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky



Amrynn hummed the melody, vaguely mouthing the words she could remember. An alien lullaby.


She leaned against the tree——not that it looked anything like the trees she knew——and scrutinized the sky. The quarter moon drew her attention first. She knew about natural satellites, yes, but to see one was
 she hadn’t y...

Please Someone, Change

Lost it.

Lost it all.

Lost my sanity.

Lost my friends.

Lost my voice.

And ha, I’ve lost my ugly smile.

I bet they smile more than ever now.

They laugh at my pain.

They smile at my tears.

And they don’t care.

“Always guard your heart,” I say.

“Never trust until you know you can.”

Just learned from experience honey.

Don’t judge me for it.

“You can judge me when you’re perfect, got it?” I tell the...

I Am Lost

It’s official


I am lost


I’ve lost my personality, my voice


I’ve lost my happiness and value


I’ve lost everything and everyone that mattered to me


I’ve lost my will and my passions


I’ve lost excitement and confidence


I’ve lost it all in return for depression and tears and misery

Sanity


Lost it, haha.

And damn, still searching.


When did it disappear?

Hmm
 I don’t know.

Shall I say
 ehhhh


Around the age of ten.


Still losing it-

And damn, still searching.

Still grasping in the dark.

The Truth In My Reflection

I look into the mirror, my light brown eyes staring back at me, their insight and faltering wisdom dim in the lighting of the hallway.


I look beyond the fading light, beyond the cold stare and look deep into the eyes of my reflection slowly coming to an uneasy and probably the most logical decision.


I’ve lost my mind.


I don’t know when or how it happened but I see the sanity of my existence slo...

You Can’t always Look At Your Scars

She stared at the mirror and her tired eyes lingered heavily at the stranger that looked at her.


Her stranger had tired, weak hair that was strangled into a tight bun. Heavy eye bags cling and pulled her face into a stiff, sickly mess of sadness. She wore a dirty hoody as if it were her second layer of skin.


‘You
’.

She co...

An Inconvenient Departure

“Hurry up! Grab your suitcase! Don’t forget the one by the bed!” Anne shouted to her son Martin.


“I can’t find my charger,” Martin whined.


“Chargers are cheap, don’t worry. We’re going to miss our flight!” Anne grabbed her rolling bag and ushered Martin out of the hotel room.


“I’m hungry, are we going to be able to eat on the plane again like last time? I want one of their turkey sandwiches. Wi...

Losing My Patience

I lose my patience

When I log on

And see that the writings I worked so hard on

No likes

No comments

That I spent hours

Writing things

And no one

Likes them...
