*Wild Card Post* I have fourty eight hours to get an entire math assignment done and 100% correct, and again every two days. It’s okay, it’s not like I have seven other classes, or you know, a social life. Excitment pulsing through my body is rejected by your latest rant, deflating my good mood backContinue reading “Things I’m Okay With”

Hollow
*Nature Post* A knarled tree sits in the middle of a forest, only half full of leaves. A little scrappy, a little under dressed, but not too noticeably different from any other exept for one thing. This tree has a hollow in the center of it’s twisted trunk. A crevice torn out, a cavern createdContinue reading “Hollow”
That Dusty Old Cap
*Hats Post* On the ground is a dusty old cap, carelessly discarded after being worn too many times. Still clinging to the baseball logo that’s lost it’s hype. Trampled on with pieces strewn about ten feet in diameter because it doesn’t have a purpose anymore. It’s hidden behind the dumpster so no one will everContinue reading “That Dusty Old Cap”
Paternal
*Wild Card Post* My whole life “Dad” felt foreign on my tongue. In my head you were always father. Nothing more than the man who contributed to my birth. Afterall, you never called me anything more than Daughter. . Behind all the half-hearted jokes and smiles, I waited for you to snap. The anger inContinue reading “Paternal”
Blank
*Crayon Post* When I was young, My teacher gave an assignment To draw our immediate family tree. . Everyone’s trees looked the same. A mom, a dad, and a few siblings. Then there were those few people Who thought their dog shared the same DNA as them. Whatever. . But me, my tree never lookedContinue reading “Blank”
What I Don’t Hear
*Wild Card Post* From behind my bedroom wall I can smell the tension. It flows through the air, Wafting under my door. It’s metalic and strange, But all too familiar. Yet I don’t hear anything, I’m not supposed to, it’s 2 am. I’m in bed, asleep. . Heavy, frustrated steps send vibrations Through the floorboards.Continue reading “What I Don’t Hear”
The Difference Between Me and a Baby
*Robot Prompt* A baby’s first breath is a symbol of life. Everyone waits to exhale until it does, Until it cries. We celebrate our first moments When we’re gasping for breath, And just learning how to live. . Unlike a newborn, I don’t cry. Been told not to by so many, I don’t even rememberContinue reading “The Difference Between Me and a Baby”
An Introduction- Again
There’s a quote that says, “Sometimes life is risking everything For a dream no one else can see.” I cling so closely to it’s message Yet despise it even more. I want to believe That I can obtain my dreams But I know it’s not realistic. Although I’m often unrealistic. Dreaming of things I knowContinue reading “An Introduction- Again”
A New Beginning
I’m deleting any posts that mention my name because I’m reusing this blog this year. I also apologize for not writing at all over the summer. I was having major writer’s block, and couldn’t write anything for the life of me. So yeah, deleting posts with my name on it. Or maybe I’ll just removeContinue reading “A New Beginning”
“You don’t need perfect words for your words to matter” – Gull
A tribute to the teacher who has inspired me to become a better person. I’ve never wanted to be the best me before. To the person who reminded me to smile everyday, who showed me there was so much more to life than I was getting out of it. You’ve made it easier to breathe,Continue reading ““You don’t need perfect words for your words to matter” – Gull”
