  Save A Life.

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  Bullying…You hear the word and you don’t really think twice about it. You think “Oh yeah this is a real issue, what ever.” You probably think it isn’t a big deal, or maybe you think, “Hey, that sucks, I really care.” And then never think about it again. Some people might just say it’...

  Walk.

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  Free hearts they used to have, and now they're gone, just like that. Broken up, torn apart, she's moving on with a brand new start. He left her there, all alone. She cried and cried left with wounds unsewn. Stitches torn inside her soul, left to bleed, with no one to know. No one knew ...

  Separate Roads

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  So, here we are again. We’re talking, that’s good. We’re occasionally laughing, that’s good too. Things almost seem back to normal. But than again, I feel it starting to repeat history once again. You talked to me and used me when you needed me once again. That’s okay, I’m not mad. I nee...

  The Disease

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  I listen to the pathetic speech that foams out of their mouths, it burns like acid. It bears a weight so heavy it’s hard to breathe. I sit inside the circle again, something I never did before. Before, I watched safely from my own little space, protected my heart and morals, and saved myself from ...

  The Girl With Empathy

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  She cries their tears, but of her, they know of none that falls from her face. She hurts as they hurt, but they feel none of her pain. She feels their fear as her own, as she suffers, they will never know. She feels their pain, but of her, nothing they will feel the same. She walks into a room...

  Who Are You?

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  Who are you? You call yourself my friend, yet you turn around and try to hurt me in the end. Who are you? You twist people's words, break up friendships, and don't care how much it hurts. Who are you? I put my trust in you all the time, you break it like glass and tell me lies. ...

  You tell me that I mean the world to you, that you don't know what you would do without me. And yet I look at everything about you, and I see a hollow person that doesn’t know what they want. I talk about you a lot, because I love having you in my life, but then I take a second look at you an...

  What Would You Change?

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  The question was simple, and yet so complex. The worlds spelt out so clearly and yet, the answer so fogged up. I listened as he asked her that one question, and as I walked away that day I thought hard about it. It wasn’t a proposal, but something else. If I could change one thing in my life wha...

  My Choice

  

  By Lachance, Lexington, OK

  I know this guy, he means so much to me, matter of fact, he means the world to me. He's made so many mistakes, so many of the wrong choices, but he turned it all around. Or so I thought. I looked up to him for so long, he had overcome hard drug addiction, and had got a house and a job. I was so...
