June 31st 1943
Today is a beautiful day in Little Hangleton. Father planted the first of our flowers in the garden today, declaring that this year would be the best year yet. I am amused by his optimism, for he says this every year, and every year the garden fails to grow. I tease him about this ...
The amount you can love is dangerous
Like a new baby running around the house
But danger can be very contagious
Especially when it creeps like a mouse
Sneaks up behind you and kisses your throat
Holds you like you’ve never been held before
Danger shows his heart to you through a note
Entr...
Each person has a given name at birth chosen by someone else. Throughout life, new, more applicable names are given to a person. The latter names are called nicknames, or pet names in certain cultures. They can be descriptions of the person, silly mockeries, or random ideas. Other times, people are ...
What a day this shall be
When the sun touches the sea
When the ocean will know
How the prophecy goes
What a time that will pass
When the lions sing at last
How the moments will fly
Like a pterodactyl in the sky
The moon will shine brighter than the stars
Everything lighter than on Mars
...
The sun proceeds over the tear-stained faces
Never wondering or stopping to find the truth
People in the streets look up at, thinking thoughtfully
Wondering if they would do it…
All the very best of us consider it once or twice
It’s inevitable—the pain we feel can be overwhelming
Cry, co...
Tragedy is such a misunderstood concept. People only understand tragedy is when something terrible happens to the protagonist. No one really gets the significance of the idea. Some people do not even know how important the idea is. In Grecian times, tragedy was believed to teach observers the way to...
Before when I didn’t try,
I got no results.
After I do,
Nothing has changed.
What does it take
To get a break?
I want to stop being stressed out.
How do the super scholars do it?
Are they really as stressed as me?
Bad new, bad news, bad news
All piling up.
1 out of 5 stars
Another ...
“Look at that gorgeous man,” the old ladies crooned. They admired his dark face, honey-like voice, and chiseled man-features. Everything about him suggested he was a superstar, which he just happened to be. He seemed invincible—he thought he might be. His golden tan could not be penetrated by ...
I wake up every morning, make coffee, and cook scrambled eggs for two. Then I wait for a half hour for Nick to come downstairs, until he doesn’t. I walk outside, and sit on the bench next to my favorite cherry tree. I read Nick’s favorite book for a couple hours. When I go back inside to make lu...
Maeve wandered across the stage, every once in a while turning. Her ribbon dancer spun up, down, and through the air like a snake. It chased Maeve in a continuous dance of grace and beauty. It did not stop unless Maeve told it to stop. It spun in the air, all the colors of the ribbon mixing together...
I am beautiful
There is life in me
A light that shines
Through the darkness
I accept the light
As a good friend
A lover
A cool breeze
I feel it through me
Unsettling my hair
Tickling my nose
My entire body shines
Purity remains whole
There is darkness in me
But the light is stronger

My favorite of the boys was the one that always wore the pink helmet. It’s not like he’d ever love a girl like me, but it was nice to know he would stay constant throughout my life. Whenever I returned home, I would see the pink helmet bobbing from across the thinly wired fence. The neighbors pu...
I feel weak, unhappy
Completely alone
I feel tired, exhausted
All on my own
I can’t lift my arms
My hands cannot hold
My head is too heavy
My heart is too cold
Tears have dried up
I walk like a ghost
Eyes blurring blindly
I hate this the most
The eyes, which were blue
Oh, are no...
He shouldn’t love me
Cause my clammy hands
He shouldn’t love me
Cause the way I talk
He shouldn’t love me
Cause my crazed eyes
He shouldn’t love me
Cause I can’t just walk
He shouldn’t love me
Cause I am hard to control
He shouldn’t love me
Cause I’m weak
He ...
What is happening?
This is confusing me
All this sadness and worry
Are making me stop to breathe
It’s difficult to keep running
But for you, I’ll do it forever
I can’t even feel my feet
And my toes are in protest
For you, I’ll do it forever
I’ll do it a thousand times
Making ...
I feel like I’m sinking
And there’s no way
I could float
I know that I’m drowning
But I refuse to admit
That there’s no hope
I try not to be cruel
And I’d like to stay friends
For a long, long time
I love you like a sister
A best friend
You’re my best friend
Please d...
School was an interesting concept for Miah Jones, but not a necessary one. She thought she was too smart to fall for the crap the magisters dealt out. She could read, write, subtract, multiply, add, divide, argue successfully, and steal. All that good stuff that helps a person survive. It was the ye...
Maybe I get it
I really do
But it’s impossible
Stop talking you fool
Baby it’s nothing
Don’t be concerned
Everything’s fine now
My lesson is learned
Darling I’m wondering
Is this the time?
To make a little dance
To sing a little rhyme
I’m burping and making
A very stra...
I want you to yield
Your heart, your soul
I want you to beg
So I can feel your pull
I need you to tell me
What to think
And how to think it
Before I sink
And when the time
Goes by, so quick
You stop and listen
To the clock’s fading tick
What gives you to the right?
What gives yo...
I feel rejected
And lonely
And stupid
And cruel
I feel sappy
Like crying
A river
Or storm
I feel nauseous
Like I’m sick
My head hurts
My heart aches
I feel foolish
And in pain
Like a punch
In the gut
Then the day
It passes
And I think back
To the start
I feel nothing...
They will come round, round
They will come round, round
When they come down, down
We’ll be saved once again
The people in the streets
Are singing out their lungs
And the beating of the people
Is the beating of their hearts
When will they come down, down?
When will they come round, rou...
The room was empty. Rich maple wood poles reached toward the sky, held tightly together by nothing. Together, they kept out the outside world, creating the walls. The black floor sparkled strangely; giving the illusion you could fall straight through it. The ceiling was made of a deep auburn liquid ...
Finding Joanie
Cleo:
There was an investigation going on about Joanie. They say she has gone missing. If they knew her like I knew her, they would know she wasn’t missing. Joanie was just choosing not to be found. But, they still request that I tell them my memories about Joanie. I barely...
