Shaking from all the tears
Pouring out like rain
Wanting to give up
Trying in vain
Holding on to what is already gone
Trying to be more than okay
But things are awfully wrong
Worthless...
Wanting to give up
Feeling abandoned, lost
Not knowing where-
Or who, to turn to
Clouded by hopeless...
They came with guns.
Sanjit had never seen these deadly weapons in person nor had he ever wanted to. He knew they could cause death in an instant; that they sounded like an explosion- louder even than the ones on television.
He was standing behind Sarah, who had opened the front door. He knew ...
April 1847

When we first started out on the Oregon Trail, it was Papa, Mother, my 6 year old sister Annabelle, the baby Henry, and me; along with two other families. We left Independence, Missouri three days ago, heading to our first stop on the trail, Fort Kearny. Bu...

I love you like the sun loves the moon; like the ocean loves the land
And though we aren't miles apart
We're still two star-crossed lovers; you and I
...
With no way of reaching each other
Driven away by force; the land and ocean, like the moon and sun
And if the stars up ab...
“I love you.”
These three words stranded together were said to me by my boyfriend, after we had stopped dancing our first dance together. He had picked an excellent time to say it, probably even a romantic time. I was shocked, surprised,… and delighted. My brain wasn’t working, and logic ...
Standing out in the rain…
Watching the lightning strike…
Listening to the thunder clash…
Letting the storm bring back memories of the past…
Flashing across my mind…
Like the lightning in the sky…
The memories that taught me how to fear…
And how to cry…
The tears run down ...
You know that cute little polar bear at the zoo that plays with that little pink ball? Can you imagine its species going extinct? Well, scientists say that if humans don’t try to help, polar bears will be vulnerable to extinction within the next century. It may seem a long time away, but what we h...
Crying the tears I know so well
The ones that are silent, that know how to fade quickly away.
Letting go of what I’ve been hiding inside;
Releasing the hurt, the pain
That I’ve been hiding for all these years.
Letting the anger turn to sorrow
Hoping there’s gonna be a better tomorrow...
Letting the days slip by like they’re nothing…
Just thinking about him…
Letting the days pass by slowly…
Knowing I won’t hear from him…
Letting the days grow meaningless…
Waiting till the day I would get to see him again…
Letting the days streak out of the cracks between...
I’ll grab your hand and you’ll grab mine
And we’ll dance together by the shoreline.
We’ll dance together listening to the sweet music tone
Of the man’s saxophone.
The man was standing by the shoreline
Where I grabbed your hand and you grabbed mine.
I’ll sway with you, you...
