  Innocence?

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Things were better when I didn't know better, Before I lost it, I didn't want it, Now, everything is so grim, I want it back! But I can never have it back, It is gone, The world I knew is gone, I am gone....

  Down.

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Well if you’re determined, Why don’t you stay around. She’ll share your worry and You’ll never fright. Don’t let it fool you Don’t let if fool you. And I- I fall to the ground For you Oooh. Breathe, you are rapid lunged, Caught in the undertow, Bones are deeply run memories ...

  Causes of Indifference

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Imagine a sea filled with dead people, the water stained burgundy, starved, naked bodies sinking and floating, 7 million dead bodies. Seven million died in the holocaust before the U.S. got involved. The U.S. displayed a great deal of indifference, and if the world didn’t have it, disasters like t...

  Good For You!

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Bells rang in the forscene, But I was young and small, Crumpled in a ruffled dress, Barbie high heels, yet not tall, Bleached blond hair flopped to every side, stood up in places and parted down the front line. My best friend Catherine, Skipped away hand in hand from the Holyplace. Two old...

  Death at a Riot!

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Soldiers marching through the water to war, Shouting voices, even mine, Picket fences evermore, Let’s take a trip through time. I remember when it first began, When I met him, he was my world, Before insanity hitched and ran, He wrapped a ribbon, swirled and twirled. And I’m not sure...

  P is For Park

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Orange, burgundy, brown, Drifting from the clouds, Screams and lies, Home didn’t have my heart, Being alone, Park swings and blue skies, Being alone wasn’t so alone. Laughter, giggles, SLASH! Sneaky grins and heartfelt words, Secretes told among friends, We were inseparable. Hugs ...

  FAT!!

  Chubster, hefty, hefty, 6th grade, I ate like a GORILLA! My mama told me, To go running, Hard breathing, Hardly breathing, Flab to muscle, Sprints and volleyball, Now, They took over....

  Drowning

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  It shone and twinkled, Glass and gloss, Two laughing girls, Jeans and jackets, Docks without rails, Pushing and shoving, SLASH! Green was all I saw, White gleaming from the top, Hooked and snagged, Bubbles bursting from my lips, Gasping! Darkness. Fingers reaching, reaching, grabbing me...

  Feak....

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  “Freak,” they would whisper, Whisper, and whisper, A few close friends were all I needed, The weird kid, She grew up, I transformed into a ‘new kid.’ I didn’t like being ‘norm’ much, But I found to love it....

  The Tale of Romanticism

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Both tales of two hearts shattered in the waves, Of the hearts of them, passionate love, The grass that once flowed so kindly, Burned in the wild fire, The pain that grabs at them! The sails that burst from undying love, Has left them both stranded in the shining blue, Their hearts twisted, s...

  No Suns will Blume Me

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  The voices drown out all the annoying noise, But it’s the noise that I wish to hear, I’ve been so happily deaf for so long Missing it, wishing the hurt would return Every bird must abandon its mother, But I will not fly away, Regret is not what I knew, Regret! It wasn’t what I wanted, ...

  Life of Cloud

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  The rain, so beautiful, am I, Dancing and dancing as I fly, From the angelic murky sky, To the air I so adore, The height I do not fear, All my kind has plummeted. The end, mother earth comes so soon, She welcomes me with opened arms, Without a voice, without a chance, I fall to her to not ...

  Love, Lightning, and Lies

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  As lightning strikes from Heaven, The ground trembles before me, Rainy days have seen no love, Nor the rain that falls before me. My feet buried well into, I grow unable to move. The rain washes me with sympathy, And caress my skin gently, And as I stare into the sky, The moment left for lo...

  Biting and Broken

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Drums pound loud, My brain beats with the sound, Fingers tearing at the walls, Empty beds and ragged dolls, Colors of ember, Swirl and twirl, Locks and chains of closed doors, Icy rock, biting and broken, Shutting eyes have spoken....

  Blocks and Black Roses

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Blocks that build, A child desperately calling, A pat for good-times, A mother slowly falling. Infinite walls for such so small, Dreaming to become one so tall, A mother waiting outside the door, For black roses galore....

  Heartbreaks and Lazy Sorrows

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Rolling, Down your face, Like tears, Icy air gushes into your lungs, Ahead is blurred, And foggy, Your legs beat the ground, Like a free child. Wind flies with you, With its wild calls, And your extreme beat, Grows fast! And punches your chest, Then, Everything around you is careless a...

  The 'Lil Sis

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Eyes glance high, Smirks. Stabs through me, Beats me, Rips me up, her voice, taunting, Provocative, Spitting words, This and that, That she clearly knows, Will slice me. Her eyes grin, It brings her happiness, Pleasure, My mind ties in knots, My stomach boils, My hands clench, Tee...

  Uncertain Heart

  

  By Aerolin, Raleigh, NC

  Certain sorrows, Blue rivers, Flow down your cheeks, Yanks and twists, At my heart, My hippocratic oath, “I’ll love you forever.” Whispers from you, Secret and silent, Speaks through the knife Of uncertain questions, Solo love, Which love lies, Cracks and shatters, Bits of hear...
