I want to go to sleep. Instead, I wake up, eat breakfast. Then to school. It’s very boring. Teachers talk; I don’t learn anything. At least I got friends. Sometimes. Mainly though, kids just talk a lot. About what? I really don’t know. I know it’s loud, and annoying. And [...]
The Last Soldier

I stumbled over a body lying in the dirt, the sound of gunshots fading into the distance. The pain in my leg blinded me, but I forced myself to keep moving. My eyes were clouded by dust and my face taunt, with dried blood. They were coming for me now. They [...]
Bleeding Rainbow
Thanks Dark – for the nightmares! Rain bleeding all over me, Like swarms of needling gnats God what a night! I parted the curtains of my ragged tent– My little hellhole A single crepuscular ray Sneaked through a small rent in the filth Of crawling clouds I stared cynically But yep! [...]
1990
Blood trickles down her wrists, the smell of decay and feces lingers in the air of the 20×40 public storage facility. Her eyes dart left to right; I can see the fear in them like the way you can see the sun set into the west. “I’ll give you all [...]

Journal Response to Reasons to be pretty. Excuse me if its too much of a cliché to say that beauty is on the inside, and nevertheless, I think we neglect to search for the reasons for other things such as being intelligent, or courageous, qualities we are now too spoiled [...]

So, here’s a play that I wrote a while back. I placed my fingers on my keyboard and wrote until I finished -Ok, maybe I took a few breaks in between-. Point is, I didn’t read it until I finished, and when I did, I changed nothing except grammatical errors and the names. [...]
Being homeless

Loose change rang at the bottom of my cup. I look up at the generous young boy standing before me, at his dark brown eyes and short dark hair. “Thank you son, this really means a lot to me,” I said smiling thoughtfully. “Your welcome sir, you need it more [...]
Tragic Complication
Antonia reported to the front door of the Vamoose country house for her daily job, a dog walker. As she started to walk up the gravel driveway she could hear Steve and Carly barking. Antonia rang the doorbell and Mr. Vamoose opened the door appearing all depressed. Antonia demanded to [...]
Ode to Stories
Page after page, I am captivated by the words in front of me. They transport me to another world. Fantastical creatures and faraway places, the types of things that paint our dreams. To all stories alike, either written or spoken, I will forever remain enchanted by those words of imagination.
Leather Jacket

I recognized the leather jacket even thought it had been over four days since I had last seen the guy wearing it. Biting my lip, I couldn’t help flushing slightly as I thought of the possibility. I hunched over my textbook and prayed that he wouldn’t noticed the girl in [...]
Should i?

Should I watch the world pass by? Should I laugh or cry as the faces of friends go by? Should I cri in the darkness in the night? Will I feel like this loneliness the rest of my life? Will I survive my pain filled day? Wearing a mass of [...]
Limelight’s Reciprocal

Talent boggles my mind. So as a dance teacher, my mind is constantly blown. Any dancer’s dream is to move someone; whether it is judges, teachers, or the audience. To shuffle up feelings within the person observing without the use of dialog is what they all hope for. Exceeding expectations [...]

The majority of the population always say that in order to move on you have to forgive and forget. But, here’s the thing, I don’t forgive you and I am quite positive I will never forget. Why should I forgive you anyway? You don’t deserve it. See, replaying the memories [...]

A middle finger to the hand of time A hit off a joint with the spiritually divine A rusty record in my mind Silver screen through my eyes Giggle and a blush from time to time To cover the demon by my side I can stab ‘em I can [...]
The world is Different
God dement my dad is so mean. Like who says I can’t go to a freaking concert? I don’t care what he says I’m running away. I’m packing my bag and going to Nina’s house cause that’s just a couple blocks down the street. Class…tomorrow morning. Honestly I don’t care [...]
Priceless
Priceless How could I have everything and still feel so sad? With all these fancy things you’d think I’d be glad. I just made junior partner and I’m only twenty seven; With all the cash I’m making you’d think I was in heaven. On the outside looking in you’d think [...]
Sweet Memories Pantoum
Every moment my smile is taken away Holding on to the sweet memories I live in great pain and dismay Hoping he’ll return back to me Holding on to the sweet memories I left everything the way it was before he left Hoping he’ll return back to me I’m confused [...]
