Alone in the dark

By ~DeVon Candace Moore~

I sit in my pitch-black room thinking,
“What the hell is wrong with me?”
I have no reason to be so depressed
But then again what reason do I have to be happy?
Friendship?
Trust?
Love?
Whenever I have those three, there will always be,
Betrayal
Dishonesty
And
Hatred
People say they want to help, that they want to make my pain go away.
Why do you think this is?
Is it because they really care about me? Or is it because they pity me?
If you ask me, I’m really not sure anymore.

You did what anyone else could do.
But why was it you?
Why was it you who took me from Dark to Light?
Why was it you who stayed up late at night?
Was it because I thought you were my knight in shining armor?
My hero?
My savior?
Or was it because I thought you and only you could rid me of this sadness?
Honestly, I don't know and I don't care.
But what's true is,
I'm glad it was you.
You're the one who told me to open my eyes
Face all my fears
Don't push them aside.
You're the one who showed me how to love and care for myself and for everyone else.
You're the only one who knows the true me.
The first one I will call in a time of need
The last one I will think about before I sleep
Who could have known my feelings for you were this deep?
I know any problems we face we'll be able to mend
I want it to be you
until the very end.

               The real me

By ~DeVon Candace Moore~

The real thing you can not see
What is truly wrong with me
I'm not okay when I seem so happy
If you haven't noticed my smiles crappy
I may be laughing but inside i'm crying
If you dont notice this
I dont blame you, who would?
Even though my best friend should.

           An Angelic Suicide

By ~DeVon Candace Moore~

One by one we fall to our deaths
And the time of the fallen angels arise.
Angelic suicides start to begin
And this is when everyone dies.

Looking for someone

By ~DeVon Candace Moore~

I can't do it anymore
It's just not possible
Sitting and waiting,
waiting for something
But all I will ever get is,
Nothing.
Nothing will come to me
if I just sit here and wait.
What am I waiting for?
And will it be great?
If I want to know sooner
I better get up before its too late.
I just can't do nothing
and sit here and wait

I went on a journey
to look for something
something I've been looking for
for all of my life.
I was afraid I'd find nothing
in my journey for something
searching and searching
until I reached the end
At the end of my journey
I finally found one thing
One thing with hope and one thing that's true
One thing that I love
That one thing is you.

My Spring

By Katharine Allen

Into the air I came

screaming my independence

with the pride of a forefather

yet

at once

yearning to return to the safety to which I’d become accustomed

I tasted the air

that whistled into my new

soft

lungs

filled with a substance that stung

and

       sizzled

on its way

down

my

throat

I felt a delicious ache

as my limbs were stretched by newly found

and created

muscles

and I                    threw them

away    from    me   as                       far

as they would allow

For the first time my eyes opened

A full spectrum flooded in

to em(my consciousnes)brace

bringing a sense of wonder and one of confusion

to flower

I was flooded with the world I found

around

me

I was d       d

              r e

              t o

              f   w

            i      n

by it

Into this I was born

By Katherine Allen

Over the river and through the woods

The Fairytale River flows

Like a stranger in a cloak and hood

From there mystery goes

A whisper in the wind tells a legendary tale

From the distance comes a secret

Sleeping Beauty never lived and Cinderella’s only a cleaner

The fairy world’s been cheated

Rain

by Carrie Field

It's raining.
And from where I sit in the downpour
It's hard to imagine
The new life it will bring
The nourishment it is providing
The filth it washed away.
All I see now
Are the teardrops pouring down
The puddles and ditches filling with water
And spilling over
The floods rushing onward
The cold, damp, grayness that seeps through the walls
And engulfs me.
It's raining.

Can't Keep Together

By Carrie Field

Don't you see we're leavin'

I know you're achin'

But I can make some bacon

And if I can, banana pancakes

Just like we used to

Jammin' to Jack Johnson

Swing dancing in the kitchen

Get us laughing till you fall off the stool

And yell "Bloody Hell" as we all shout "Bravo"

And I know there's no way any of us are cool

But we're ever so much fun

Get us laughin' 'bout old times

Hear the wind chimes

Tinkle on your door

See the snow blow over and come on in

'Cause you know we're always better when we're together

The laughter fades

We all look up

I meet your gaze

It's almost over

Hold that hug a little longer

Who knows how long its gonna be

Till I see your sweet face again.

Butterflies and House's lies

The Princess Bride and Springhill cries

It's almost over

We know we can't keep together forever

So don't forget to write

Even in our words we'll always be

Better when we're together.

Writer's block

Emily Li

A mental dam as hard as rock

A mammoth form of grey

My futile efforts does it mock

All ideas it insists to block

No matter what I say

A mental dam as hard as rock

From inspiration, I am locked

Though I plead and pray

My futile efforts does it mock

The rhythmic ticking of a clock

Come on, I haven't got all day

A mental dam as hard as rock

I guess I shouldn't be so shocked

My brain's treating me this way

My futile efforts does it mock

The pen is rested in its dock

Tip on the paper water lay

A mental dam as hard as rock

My futile efforts does it mock
