  Perspective and Perfection

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  I know her better than anyone, But she really grinds my gears. She sees me go for seconds And then whispers in my ear. “You’ve gained a couple pounds, you know, So you better put that back. Thigh gaps are always pretty, And that is something you lack.” She’s in all of my classes ...

  The Snob School, Outcasts, and Witchcraft

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  A city boy and a rich school is not a good combination. That’s what I told my aunt the day she stole me from Cleveland and sent me here. But that’s another story. Walking into a room where every face belongs to a stranger is scarier than confronting a gang in which you stole something fro...

  Get Away With Murder

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  RIP Rachel Nelson My fingertips brush against the cold stone of the grave, and for a brief second I feel as if I am about to cry. I was, and still am, truly in love with her. That was why I had to kill her. Love is such a peculiar feeling. Those butterflies which never seem to go away w...

  Writer's Block

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  Blank. No characters, no story plot, nothing. Where was my creative streak? Where was it hiding? I could feel it inside me, vibrantly bustling in my head. But when I tried to make sense of it, when I placed the tip of my pen against paper, it vanished. It felt like my mind was playing a ...

  The Poet Inside of Me

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  So what if I can’t rhyme my words right, Or my lines just don’t flow? I have a story I want to tell, And I will make it known. So what if I’m not the best writer, Or not published in print? I won’t be let down by rejection, No, I won’t take the hint. So what if writing is my ...

  Dear Daddy

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  Dear Daddy, I’m glad you have decided to read this letter. I was afraid that you were going to use this paper as a place to set down your coffee, like you did with that birthday card I made you when I was five years old. I’m sure if you rummage around some of the drawers, you’ll find it. ...

  I'm Not Going To Get Up Today

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  I'm not going to get up today, I'd rather just sleep the day away. I'm sick of the anger and the tears, The heartbreak, the worries and the fears. Don’t call me because I’ll be asleep, Please leave a message after the beep. And don’t bother knocking on my door, Because ...

  Perfect Insanity

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  I’m not as strong as I appear, For you, I’ll smile, But really, I am broken, Falling to pieces There’s not a thing more hurtful, Than knowing the truth, That I was not the only one, Just a second choice. If I could show you my pain, There’d be a deep gash, Going down my fragile...

  The Whispered Warning

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  A young girl rests upon nature’s bench, a tall tree branch reaching far up into the night sky. So high, in fact, that if the girl were to extend her fingertips towards the stars, it would be almost as if she could grasp one in the palm of her hand. The night is progressing into its latest hours,...

  The Murder of My Brother

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  December 21st, 2003 It is a day that might not much to most of you, but it was the day I murdered my brother. I remember being normal, but once the feeling struck, it took over me like some twisted disease. The first time I felt it was while watching a movie one day after school. I shoul...

  I Will Still Love you

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  Feed me lie after lie, I’m not worth the truth. Yet alone I will cry, I will still love you. Throw me your angry words, I will always forgive. No matter how absurd, I will still love you. First cold and then hot, Drive me insane. Kick me down on the spot, I will still love you. ...

  Goodbyes

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  You two were in love Happiness you can’t deny But now it is time to say goodbye The one you love Will turn into a ghost A stranger who you miss the most All you can think of Good memories, oh so clear And the bad ones will disappear An emptiness looms As you both go apart Trying t...

  Innocence

  

  By .Izzy., Broadview Heights, OH

  A beautiful angel soared across the sky, looking down at all of the human girls below. She shook her head as they ran off with human boys, believing their lies and then being left in the dust. She laughed at their stupidity, glad that she would never be like them. Human girls, they were too eager...
