  Cinderelle

  Do you ever wish you could just sit in a moment? Do you ever wish you could stop time? Freeze it forever and sit in one minute. Or stop the midnight clock's twelfth chime....

  Just a Head

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  The insides of my eyelids are dark, unassuming. Nothing but a thin strip of skin shading me from the outside world. My pupils are projectors, like the old ones you see in your grandparents house or at the movies. They project images on the fleshy screens before them. My brain sits in the backgro...

  My Heart

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  Sometimes I wonder where my heart really is. Is it really in my chest because I'm really not so sure. Because when i see him I feel it my stomach. It's like going down a hill on a rollercoaster ride. I feel like a million butterflies have taken flight. My stomach rolls Like afte...

  Once Upon a Time...

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  I see him there, next to me. I feel ready to explode, I know it's crazy. I try not to stare, only risking a glance. The two of us together, it isn't just chance. I have fate knocking on the door, As I get to know him more. I see the way he scrunches his eyebrows, And all I can think...

  Final Goodbye

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  Hey, You’re my best friend. I can’t believe you’re leaving. Don’t think that I’m mad, because I’m not. Not mad… just sad. You are the one I know that I can always count on. The one who I can text even when he’s in the middle of the Caribbean and I know he will answer. You’...

  Sparrow flying, soaring, gliding through the sky, high, higher, high. Through the air there, up there up and away away, away, away. I look and see, not the sparrow, but me and all I wish I Could be....

  Rain, Rain, Her to Stay

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  I’m home. It’s been raining for days A nor’easter. Rain falls from the sky like daggers. Millions upon millions of rain drops Forming puddles, Wetting windows Nothing but rain. It feels like it’s been dark forever It feels like months since I’ve seen the sun. I bet the weath...

  Stupid Dress

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  I. Hate. This. Stupid. Dress. This. Stupid. Dress. Hates. Me. Why do I have to wear a dress anyway? I don't like dresses, and I certainly don't like this one. I don't feel comfortable in a dress. My theory is if you are getting mugged and you can't kick butt without flashing a bunch of people, then...

  Skin Deep

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  He seemed like and empty shell. All around tough guy. Never categorized. Drifting. He seemed as if there was nothing inside. No emotions behind His eyes. Nothing but a colored mohawk, band tee shirts, and ripped jeans. But not all, is what it seems. Behind those eyes are secrets...

  Life is an elipsis. A dot, dot, dot at the end of each page. Life is waiting for tomorrow, Instead of living in today....

  The Heartbreak Only Felt by a Teenager

  

  By nutmeg212, Coventry, RI

  I can still feel myself smiling. I can still feel the warmth that spread through my body after you talked to me. I can still feel the flutters in my stomach, soul and heart. I can still hear your voice in my ears, your gaze on mine, how you were only one desk away. I feel myself now walk off...
