A Day In My Life [Poem] 7:10 A.M. I wake up, tired wanting to sleep 7:15 A.M. I get ready for school 7:50 A.M. I leave for school 8:00- 2:30 my mind swirls as hour after hour passes, my brain numb. As the bell rings for each and every class, I grab my stuff, and…
Ever heard of the saying, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”? In life, one must be able to accept change and appreciate the moments that were shared, however difficult that may be. What is destined to happen will happen, so one must keep their head held high and hope for the best.…
There’s a solid conception within society, On karma, The idea that what you do, Makes it way back to you Even if you don’t want it to This idea tends to inspire more kindness overall, We don’t want bad things coming back to us But what if this didn’t exist? What…
A small preface: I think teenage heartbreak is one of the most abstract things in the universe, it doesn’t really make sense that it occurs, since we aren’t trying to love for the long term, and yet, it often hurts more then what we feel when we grow up. The formable parts of years are…
An original free verse poem composed in a stream-of-consciousness style of writing. ________ Fantasy a faraway, unfathomable dream, endless in distant, clouded visions hoping to piece together Fragments of a past unsatisfied, longing to spontaneously create realities of apparent glory, perceived prosperity False landscapes of ostensible fulfillment, imagining ends unbeknownst to our inaction, trying…

On rainy days You might see a lone figure walking through the empty streets Depending on the time or place Cars might run past them as they continue to tread on the soaked sidewalks But in their damp blue poncho And translucent grey umbrella They soil the puddles with each step Leaving muddy footprints…
gazing upon the expanses . of the great night sky our endless wonder . at the mosaic sea of stars is inexplicably bridled…
A pale gleam like shimmering snow, I search for you in places I have yet to know.My mind blanks with every word you say, who’d have thought you’d infect me this way. Like a sheet of paper, so soft and thin. you’re an elderflower growing from within, I hate the thought of a stupid cliche,…
Stood amidst the cynicism, Never quite conceiving how much Loneliness could destroy. Yet it provided to an empty heart. Never was that time brought back. He walked and walked A sigh, a breath of relief, Solemnly cried that hollow dissatisfied heart. Deprived of love, benevolence and condolence “Oh! this social discrimination”. Hollered that wavering soul. Time…
As I ponder about graduating, I am constantly reminded of the amazing memories I have created over the past years in high school. This poem is a recount of those memories, the failures and the successes, and amazing friendships. My soul is lit by matches, Like an elliptical lantern That succumbs in the light. It…
The Evening Sky Often the dark sky sparkles dots of light, Shimmering miles away they burn strong. One feels satisfaction from such a sight, And knows their glow will last forever long. With every three-fourths of a hundred years, A blazing streak illuminates the shade. An experience that presents no fears, One moment that will…
A city I’ve never been to feels like home to me It’s the best feeling ever known to me I can hear the trumpets calling me As I lay at 3 am falling asleep Street musicians under warm lampposts Seem like cheerful welcoming hosts Oh how the blues Awaken my soul in different hues In…
