  Life as a Tall Girl

  

  By skywriter13, Washington, DC

  As I walk the hallway I hear someone say, “My look at the girl, coming this way!” As usual, I stride like a model on the catwalk or I pretend they're just fans coming to gawk. Some things you'll never get to see, Unless you were as tall as me. I see the world from a different view, ...

  What is My Name?

  

  By skywriter13, Washington, DC

  I am the creeping footsteps on the wooden floor. The wind rapping on your chamber door. The howls into the chilly night. The haunting presence you feel and fright. Lurking in the foggy shadows, Behind your every step. Turn around, I'm right here. Or maybe I'm over there. Your ...

  My name is Love

  

  By skywriter13, Washington, DC

  I am sweet and vicious. Searching for my prey, Every man has had to fall. For the human heart cannot resist me. They say I'm cold, That I leave scars and broken pieces. With my charming memories yet tearful eyes, I can be a devil in disguise. I am the flutter in your chest. The ...

  Oceans apart but I know I'm in your heart. When you think I'm not there, I'll be shedding a tear at your world premiere. I can call many my friend but never a true friend. From the beginning to the end, we'll be friends till the world ends. You don't have to see me to...

  Don't Mend my Broken Heart

  

  By skywriter13, Washington, DC

  You keep playing tricks with my mind. Saying hello than shutting the door. All of this is wasting my time. I’ve given all I've got, you haven't given a dime. You have a nerve to call me your friend. I'm your bestfriend you say? Than why is it you ignore me everyday? You say...

  Diary of a Shy Girl

  

  By skywriter13, Washington, DC

  The words are at the tip of my tongue. I desire to speak, to express myself. But, my strength is beneath me. Instead, I slip away mysteriously. I move silently across the room. My lips in movement but never making any sound. I'm used to stares and the wondering why, this girl won't...

  Being Free

  

  By skywriter13, Buena Vista, TN

  We are no longer his slaves and our backs no longer ache. Only thing we can see is the North, which makes us full of glee. We pack our sacks in the middle of the night, whispering good-bye, shedding a tear for those so dear. Oh, how could they not want to come? To be free, see countries and ha...
