  Angel

  

  By TheLemonadeCrusade, Huntersville, NC

  Cross-legged in the center Of this barren room Stone-set walls And a concrete floor With no windows or doors I have no view of the outside world I have no one in my presence Left alone to the silence and my thoughts The line of reality and imagination Has become blurry My whispers echo o...

  Me and We

  

  By TheLemonadeCrusade, Huntersville, NC

  Mirror, mirror on the wall Who’s the prettiest of us all? I am Her, yet I am She Her and She are also We But tell me, Mirror- Does one and two always make three? So it does, you say, Well, Mirror- Despite your illusions Of We becoming Me I like to believe differently...
