I remember it so distinctively, although I wish I didn’t. I couldn’t believe that I had played a part in someone else’s death. I, Naomi Rodgers, played a leading role in the death of Megan Walker.

I had always been one of the more popular girls in my class. That is until Megan mo...
I didn’t realize how much one choice could affect your whole life forever. One crucial decision can send your whole world crashing down around you – and when it happens you have no idea what to do.
I attend a small school in Iowa. There are about 150 people in my entire high school, which ...

My Grandma was once a survivor.
She was determined; knew what she was fighting for.
But cancer has more plans now. It has struck once again.
They say it’s worse, and this time, she cannot win.
After radiation fails, she returns back home.
Cancer definitely taken its toll, and it just doe...
When I told you I was fine -I lied.
I know the truth.
I know you don't honestly like me.
You put on an act.
All because I'm the one who
'Could use a friend'
'Is having a hard time'
'Needs help and advice'
You talk like we've been friends forever...
It's been eating me up for weeks.
I've received many looks of concern.
A few reach out only to be pushed away.
I keep quiet -everything but nothing to say.
I want so bad to tell.
Just so I can get some advice on what to do
but deep inside I know I can't tell you....
You have way better things to do
Than worry about the 5th grade girls who picked on you
I know just how boring History can be,
but you'll want to pay attention, trust me.
Don't get frustrated over Algebra, it really isn't that bad;
It's geometry later on that will really ma...
You walk down the hall with those other girls,
Your long, dark hair bouncing in curls.
You laugh, you giggle, you snicker at me.
It hurts me down deep, can't you see?
We used to be close, like sisters at heart
until some unknown situation tore us apart.
You left me with nothing. I'm...
It doesn't matter if we win or lose,
or who has the biggest floor burn or bruise.
We don't care who we play,
or what they do or don't say.
All that matters is that we get out there,
and look at them with our best game stare.
As long as we play 100% of the best we've got,
...
It seems like everything is going wrong.
The day is too short or it's too long.
You keep everything a secret, all to yourself
so you put on a smile and laugh with everyone else.
You push it all back, your tears any your fears,
but you are positive that someday you will just burst
and you&...
I am a rock on the beach, a rock on the beach
down a kid will reach, pick me up
and toss me into the cool water
I sit there for years
slowly
crawling
toward the shore.
When I reach the smooth sand, where the water laps,
It washes over me, then back for more.
That was my old life...
I love the thrill of the hand off, my feet pattering on the ground, the crowd going crazy and yelling your name, but most of all stepping of the track knowing that you did a good job....
You say no matter what we'll make it through
That whatever happens, the sky at the end will be blue.
If all of the world around seems dark,
just remember the place on your heart that I mark.
Try to see the bigger picture, the good and the bad,
and remember the things that make you happy,...
You say that I am smart
and you say that I have a really big heart.
A heart for family and friends,
A heart for all life's turns and bends.
You Say that I am marvelous
and little do I fuss.
Mostly smiles and few tears,
brave with only some fears.
You say that I am trustful
my end o...
You know something is wrong
when you walk through the halls and everyone is crying.
Everyone is wearing yellow, her favorite color, just for her.
Your usual loud, laughing day
is filled with sobbing and tears.
You can't seem to get through your head that the wonderful person in the pictu...
