A: Why do I need glasses? M: Because Scrabble can’t play itself. Why does centripetal force point to the center of the circle? Because I can’t spell isosceles. If gravity stopped, Then it will get stuck. I used to dress only in yellow polka dots, But now she’s the one [...]

of course, situations that aren’t what you expected or desired break you. Hearing bad news breaks you. Many things can break you. How ever, it’s worse when you’re not in a yes or no situation. Basically you’re on a sway, your life could go either way. It’s bad to know [...]

A voice called my name. A familiar voice coming from a familiar face. Quickly I pushed my way in between the crowd of people hoping to reach the exit. My head focused towards the direction I was headed, this way I’d blend in and hopefully disappear from his sight. Droplets [...]

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Looks Can Be deceiving She seemed like a person who had it all; But on her shoulders there was a burden she had to haul. A smile was always plastered on her face and thought to be true; In closed doors there lied something no one knew. She was unhappy [...]

A little yellow bird sat on a rusty cage scared and all alone, A passing child pitied the little yellow bird and unlocked its cage, Encouraging and cheering the little bird to fly, fly away, “Come on little bird fly, spread your wings, take flight,” “The shackles have melted away, [...]

A Random Connection Poem
Why did you pick me? Because than I’d actually tell you how I feel. Why wasn’t I everything you wanted me to be? Because she was my Achilles heel. If we were to go back in time Then I might be honest with you. If I could forgive you for [...]

I looked in front of me to notice the never ending line at Ingles. Man out of all the days that I just want to get home and stay there, this line will take me all night. I only had a liter of Coca Cola and an extra large bag [...]
Ashes

Fire was coursing through her veins, As gentle kisses softly pecked at her lips. His fingers ghosted across her skin in teasing patterns. This was her heaven, her nirvana. Incoherent moans, arching backs, and whispered murmurs of love. The window panes are fogged with each breath. Slowly she rose down [...]

It’s almost funny how some things work. Few weeks ago I had to write about a panic attack. Me? Suffer a panic attack? That sounded laughable— at the time. I thought,” What’s this? I don’t have panic attacks. How ridiculous,” I couldn’t have been more wrong about anything in my [...]

The streets are saturated in honks and beeps and last minute stops. The pavement is hot from the sun that peaks through from between the buildings. There are no real trees, nothing original from a previous life. The labels all say “Made in BLANK”. Everything is synthetic, created, morphed into [...]
