Make Believe
By Amanda B., Milan, IL
We were doomed from the beginning,Blinded from the start,But nothing can be doneTo fool a happy heart.With each smile and giggle,Every embrace and every kiss,We were shooting toward a happy ending,And we missed.Cinderella lost her slipperAnd it... (more »)

The Dead Girl.
By Courtney B., Richfield, PA
I found the dead girl in a lake
while wandering a field
I watched the crows circle around
but somehow I could feel.
I saw her lying near the edge
to no fault of her own.
And walking nearer helped me see
that which I did not know.

Daddy I Miss You
I wake up to an unfamiliar surrounding
Your absence has changed everything
“You're not here daddy, you're out of sight”

The Dream Isn't Dead
The dream isn’t dead
Though I’ve seen it take flight
It spread its great wings
And disappeared into night
I watched it go, bidding good-bye
But I would see it again
I know I would try
Such fantastic illusion, an amazing sight... (more »)

Porcelain Stars
The moon falls for the sun
And begets beautiful stars
With absent skies of trust
And celestial scars
Skin scorched to porcelain
Let’s see what the dark beholds
As patience dies to wear thin
And your embrace awaits cold
Part the... (more »)
