  There's a Reason the Country is in Sucky Times

  

  By yousaypotato..., Peacedale, RI

  Right now, there is a lot of blame on President Obama for the country's economic state. As well as it's healthcare, military, etc. Most of the people who blame Obama, I believe, have become ignorant to all other aspects of our government. If you study the way our government works, you will...

  Rebellious Trash

  

  By yousaypotato..., Peacedale, RI

  they tell me I'm just rebellious trash. fluttering by. never ceasing, no pausing. can’t make friends, not even acquaintances. no way to see the sights, take in the scenery, I suppose life is a little lonely as a plastic bag. a rogue plastic bag. reaching the ocean. the final destina...

  They all tell me To go outside and explore. Open the door to possibilities and experience something more. But should I go? It echoes in my mind. Behind the wall of familiarity, I’m safe here inside. My brother has gone, and he’s just fine. So why am I afraid to look around, Why does e...

  By yousaypotato..., Peacedale, RI

  Fragile Bones

  

  By yousaypotato..., Peacedale, RI

  I want to take your hand in mine, And hold you close to my chest. Tell you you're not alone, You are Loved. Though I do not know you well, We've spoken only twice. My heart is filled with pain So that your burden is lessened. Even if Slightly. My tongue cries prayers Each day, a...
