Friends and Enemies
Welcome to the lonely zone. Having friends is like growing plants. It requires love, care, attention and occasionally pouring water. In the end you enjoy the fruits of your labor. But this is where the similarities end, because then comes the scary part, keeping friends. This is where I struggle. I am not the best […]
To Feel
It’s easy to sink, rather than swim. The words pull me under. I keep moving adrift, my mind torn asunder. The water consumes, hungry and starved. Nothing left behind. I pushed you away, kept you safe. Yet you say, there’s no love in my eye. The waves crashed, a thunderous roar. My words lost to […]
Conversational Conundrums
There is no method to this madness. Talking is taxing enough on its’ own but having conversations is hard, mostly because there are so many unspoken rules to it and none that we are familiar with. For me it’s always a little tricky to navigate the conversational channels, mostly because I end up tipping over […]
The Morning Light
The morning light transcends dreams, Its’ nimble fingers dancing across the eyes’. Playful with delight. Feverish and bright, dragging at our sleep. Battling with nightmares, Breathing warmth into our mindscape, And leaving all fantasies incomplete. Unsatisfied I wake, Chasing shadows and smoke. Trying to catch the wisps of fading dreams, Realities that could have […]
Cliffs, Lights, And Ravens
It was a dreary place. “Cold and windy”, he mused, “but it’s just for two weeks and we could use the money.” “Ah, she’s a right beauty ain’t she?”, the old man growled happily, distracting Thomas from his thoughts. “Um…yes I suppose so.”, he replied quietly. The old, dark, and tall tower was the furthest […]
Powerful Words
The greatest power lays within words, In tales left untold and stories never heard. Between pages yellowed and unread we can find, Souls of those left behind. Letter by letter thoughts penned down, Tales, poems, souls, and stories all paper bound. I keep moving within the pages, Walking, adrift, happy, and lost. The journey […]
Getting Things Done: A Saga of Incomplete Work
Let’s take a “break” shall we. I clean my table, clear up the clutter, set everything in place and once done, promptly take a break. There is no reason for me to do so, I am not tired, nor have I actually accomplished anything, it’s just the thought of actually doing something gets me exhausted. […]
Reflections In An Empty Classroom
“Bye teacher! See you tomorrow!”, yelled Jess as she hugged me and ran off with her friend into the arms of her mother who was waiting outside to take them home. Sighing, I got up and stretched, the exhaustion of the day finally settling in. I looked around the empty classroom, it was a mess. […]
Hazards of Saying Yes
This doesn’t end well. Yes. Such an uncomplicated word, yet I can trace nearly all my problems back to it. It isn’t that I dislike hearing it, on the contrary, I love to hear it; “Why, yes you may have the day off!”, “Yes, you have won at life!”. The problem arises when I end […]
School Day Blues
“Jordan? Jordan?!” “Present Mrs. Calloway!”, I gasped, looking up from my journal where I was writing. Laughter echoed around me as my friends tease me for drifting off again. And why shouldn’t I write or daydream? Afterall, don’t they keep asking us to be creative and imaginative? I loved to walk around my own little […]
