  A Lunatic's Freedom

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  One can never be as free as me Here in this paradise of mine Many may find me crazy But here I feel fine Exhaustion tells me I am there The place to go when on the brink The place where I can start to care The place my mind can think There is no freedom greater than mine Though you...

  The Dread of Something After Death

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  Still fresh, they lay on the floor, Untouched by the sands of time. Pale hands clutching their hilts. Stressed faces are relaxed at last. But there is nobody to lay them to bed In the tombs where their kind belong. No gravediggers to jest and laugh. No mourners to shed tears as they go. A bl...

  A Crown of Flowers

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  Maria had been given the day off from her chores. It was one of the few days of the year that she would not have to practice being a “lady”. Today she was allowed to run around, get dirty, scrape her knees, or pretty much do whatever she wanted. Her mother had given her one rule: “Maria, you c...

  The Forgotten

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  The memories like corpses long gone The ghosts of moments past flying away Taken by ravens into the night Each memory dropped into the lie of someday There will be no headstones to mark where they lie No feeling of peacefulness as they slowly decay Their bones now litter the field of your mind...

  Life is hard for all of us on this side of the ocean. We are treated no better than the slaves used to be treated. I am sick and tired of our rulers treating us like dirt. I intend to change the way this world is ruled. There have been rebellions in the past. The only difference is that this one wil...

  The Madness of Survival

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  It is dark, I would guess near midnight, I can see the tiny wisps of breath coming from my mouth as I breathe in this frigid air. This is unnatural darkness, the large canopy from the forest ensures that. I am not entirely sure how long I've been out here, ever since I escaped captivity but I l...

  The Best Intentions

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  My eyes open and I take in my surroundings. I am in a dark room in a small circle of light. The only furniture I can see is the chair that I am tied to. I have a pounding headache and I can feel a warm trickle of blood moving down my face. “Good, you are awake” says a man standing on the oute...

  The Chosen

  

  By Patty_whack19, Meadow Vista, CA

  We called ourselves the Chosen. Chosen to be above the rest. We had powers for a reason. Was that reason not to rule? They called us demons. They sought to kill us for our powers. Their tiny minds unable to comprehend our destiny: Destined to greatness. We said it was for the greater goo...
