- Poetry > Free Verse
Discontent clouds my vision and the rain blurs the lines; Yet I can’t seem to figure out why. It’s been growing now for a while, This heavy heart and this fake smile. I don’t know how much longer it’ll last- Wishing I could put this in the past. As the bottle... - Poetry > Free VerseCovered in thick, hot sweat; She lay melted on the loveseat. Spring dashed by with barely a hello and sure enough the heat had settled in. A silence so stark fell upon the porch, that even the birds dare not disturb it. Dampened by sweat, she sat up and looked around. Squirrels scampered by, ...
- Poetry > Free VerseBlue fingertips, brown boots, and a red mind. She watched the grass tremble in the wind, the girls laugh at an inside joke she’d never understand, and the cars zoom by in a rush. Kinetic energy—the energy of motion. Everyone and thing seemed to have a grasp on it as she s...
- Poetry > Free VerseHer feet just barely graze the pedals of the bike you bought for her Picked out carefully by you with love and expectations for her to meet That growth spurt coming a bit too late Reaching for the pedals Reaching for the praise that was sure to follow Maybe someday the scars will fade Her st...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionA sliver of light shines through the so called “blackout blinds” in Melissa’s room on a dewy Monday morning. She groans, realizing not only that the blinds she spent $40 were a piece of s***, but that her week would be no better. As she slides out of her bed in her hello kitty pajamas, her mom...
- Poetry > Free VerseWalking into town, No worries nearby, We take a seat on the canal. The kids trot by glancing our way, Unaffected by what affects me most. The simple days are long gone, The days of hide and seek, Where my backyard was as vast as a jungle, Where the snap of twig was the scariest thing we’d ...
- Hot Topics > What MattersDecember 13th 2010 I made my way home from a long day of Christmas shopping with my mother. As I sat in the passenger seat, my mom drove on through the slush and snow that December never fails to bring. When the phone rang, she picked it up with the nonchalant attitude of a busy, working mother, but...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsAfter hearing such great things about this book, and seeing the newly released movie in the theatres and loving it, I finally decided to read it. However, in juxtaposition to the beliefs and support of many other readers, I walked away not totally satisfied. I had high hopes for this book and my exp...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsAlthough I loved that each chapter of this book were written by different characters, I found it to be a bit confusing at points and had to go back and refer to who was speaking at each time. That said- I loved the writing and each different teen perspective that was highlighted in the book. I lov...

- Poetry > Free VerseMe and you, we were perfection. Like a sunny august day, not a cloud in the sky. You loved me and I loved you. Forever. Or so I thought. Something changed. The wind shifted. Suddenly, our sunny day turned to a cloudy one. And all those sweet words, all those deep conversation...
- Hot Topics > What MattersI’ve learned a lot in my humble 15 years of existence. But in the end, the one thing that really stuck, and sunk deep in was the idea that “life goes on.” Life gets pretty shitty sometimes. People pass, hearts are broken and lessons are learned. But, life goes on. So many times...

Loved. Words to live by. Or words that kill. We try and we hope and dream that one day this miraculous...
- Poetry > All PoetryWhen I have nowhere to go I write. Sometimes the everyday stresses of life become too much and I need to escape. I would like to run away or go where no one can touch me, but I can’t. This is my home. What is home? Some say it’s where you can be yourself and not care what people think. Some ...
- Poetry > All PoetryMy Pen dances across the paper doing pirouettes and fondues like an elegant ballerina. It flows across the paper like water in a stream. I write to escape. When I’m writing the world is okay. I have no troubles or anything to worry about and I have all the time in the world. I write of a far aw...
