I’m gonna tell you a tale that may give you a fright,
It is a scary good story for a Halloween night.
Michael’s daddy was reading a bedtime story.
A fun one not scary or gory.
Outside you could hear all kinds of sounds.
The howl of the wind and kids laughing ‘round town. Continue reading “The Devil’s Trick by Jackson Greene”
It sat there in its dark bubble as it watched bright colors pass it’s eyes.
To be stuck watching was not what it did. To be stuck in a dream was a nightmare for it.
To trap is what it seeks and to kill was a vengence against her meat. Continue reading “A dream nightmare by Cynthia Ocloo”
It was the morning of Halloween and my mom was driving me and my little brother to school. I sat in the front passenger seat feeling more comfortable than usual. It was probably because of how cold it was outside and how warm it was inside the car.
The heated seat feature, which my mom’s car had, was definitely one major orchestrator of my unexplainable comfort. I had stayed up really late watching Family Guy so I took this as an opportunity to get a bit of sleep before I got to school. Continue reading “Halloween Story by Joel Ocloo”
You’re not my lover,
You made me a monster.
What’s the odds of you putting your jacket on the ground, so I could walk over a puddle?
What’s the odds of me loving you?
What’s the odds of you loving me?
Why can’t that us, become a “we”? Continue reading “You’re Not My Lover! by Heaven Glover”
Nothing in the world can resemble falling snow,
It’s one of nature’s beauties a lot of people don’t know,
Like changes in season the cold is as slow,
For no real reason the rain starts to flow,
With drops and trickles they fall on your feet,
The feeling of feeling is fun and unique, Continue reading “Winter”
All lives matter right?
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white?
But please explain to me why
There’s nobody on our sidelines
When we disappear
When we are killed
We are blamed for the whole deal
Claims that what we did was steal
So they sent a whole field
of bad cops to “settle” things Continue reading “Missing by A.B.”
Darling,
Don’t detest downers deviating from drowning.
I am not a damsel in distress.
I am dubious,
doubting despair and darkness.
Don’t worry,
I desire greatness not delight.
People daring to drag me down the depths of depression,
but I am a diamond desperate to be discovered.
Dugout from the domineering people around me,
the distress is distinct,
disturbed,
and in disarray.
Whenever I’m around you I remember how butterflies feel like. Whenever I’m around you everyone else around me becomes irrelevant because you’re the only person that matters to me. I’ve fallen in live you with and it hurts. It hurts because you will never know. To you, I’m just a regular person that doesn’t mean anything to you. But to me you’re everything. This pain that I feel every day all day makes me want to just cry all day. The thought of you not being with me causes my anxiety to go sky high. I’m in love with you and you will never know. You’ll never know how much I care about you and how much I hate it when people talk badly about you. It makes me want to hurt them, I would bend over backward for you. I don’t exist in your world but I want to. Continue reading “Notice me”
