Beams of light reflected off the icy surface into my weary eyes as I took my first steps into the cold. Save for the rows of barren trees, the development had become a veritable tundra. The morning sun was still young and had greeted me, suddenly and energetically, like a child eager to show its world to an exhausted parent. I ventured forth, into the all-encompassing gray that had come with the winter season, along the v...

Each second in passing my mind conveys A shroud of shadows, a dreary haze To spry minds a distinction so stark A harbinger of an inevitable dark Though murkiness approaches, ever so near My vantage remains, abiding and clear Primordial clouds configuring from naught Contour into storms of renegade thought This ubiquitous flurry envelopes me so Chiding the worries calling below Hushed by lullaby, content at ease Unable to...

To Write A Story Get up. Get out of bed. Get dressed. Brush teeth. Skip breakfast. Go to class. Pretend to care. Go home. Sleep. Eat dinner. Sleep. Get up. Get out of bed. Get dressed. Brush, brush, brush those teeth. Feel the pangs of hunger. Ignore them. Get to class late. Sleep. Go home. Sleep. Eat dinner. Sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep. Can’t sleep. Can never sleep. Monotony. A monotonous affair as stagnant as the Dead Se...

Abstract Focusing on the students designated “AP Kids,” and the emotional/psychological impacts of their efforts in areas outside the classroom. Using my own personal observations, perceptions, and conclusions concerning these students, and after spending the better part of the school year with them, I have laid out what I believe to be a psychological complex: the Advanced Placement Complex. These students’ natural intel...

The subdued yellow glow of lampposts served as my makeshift milestones as I trudged down the road. Humidity choked the post-storm air. The storm had raged for hours; there had been reports of widespread flooding and destruction. Revealed in the now cloudless sky, though, were the vermiculite wisps of nebulae, a rare sight so close to the city. It was late, and I could not sleep, as my insomnia had become an all too common...

Verse 1 I’m different I’m stupid I’m sinful I’m losing it I don’t belong here It’s too much to take I want to leave this horrible place Chorus Nobody knows How it feels To feel like I do Nobody loves me Nobody likes me So why am I here Just shoot me Just shoot me Just shoot me Before I shoot myself Verse 2 Acceptance is unacceptable For someone of my kind I’m an abomination Should be castrated Tormented to the end of time...

Verse 1 You were the love of my life Well that’s what I thought It was all just a lie Like it or not Try to run byYou can’t fool my eye You better watch out Time will run outPre-chorus Something critical comin' in the dark Can’t stray away from me  I’m gonna catch up Look over your shoulder you’ll never find me I’ll be a surprise you ain’t ever seenChorus Lights lights lights lights lights Those lights are comin' after yo...

Chapter 1 In a time not too far ago but long forgotten there lived an old widow by the name of Charlotte. She was a very lively and strong willed woman; middle age had only done her justice. Her shoulder length strawberry blonde hair was mildly graying and her skin showed no signs of wrinkling. Her eyes were a light sullen gray that watched over her two beautiful young girls with love and admiration. They lived in a small...

I left on that midday plane to JacksonTwo overfilled suitcases and a dream of betterNothing in my belly but butterflies and beliefThat somehow a new landscape meant a new love for meRelocating for love?Sounded rather riskyOr downright desperateOr desperately dumbBut I was numbTo the life I had been livingAnd the tears I had been cryingAnd the lies I had been buyingSee, I had a vision of loveAnd it was tall, red, and sweet...

It’s that time of the year again Materialized love fills the mall ‘Chocolate, flower or diamond?’ The sales man asks ‘It’s time to shower her with your love.’ Beyond those fancy gifts A simple sign is all we seek To remind ourselves that There is still romance between us In our tiresome routine chores Once up a time I had a broken heart Until a girl gave me her hand In February I sent her a crystal rose pin The only jewel...

Child called JESUS (2/11/13) Blood, sweat, and tears he would shed On the path that lay ahead. Imagine a child preaching the word of GOD When even the adults had found it hard. Can you picture him walking into town? And his followers sitting on the ground Listening to what he had to say Their hands clasped together as they prayed. Can you picture him in your mind? Telling his mother that he is fine And not to worry, not t...

All wars have a beginning and all wars have an end, except for one. The war between the light that illuminates the world with all that is good and the darkness which fills our hearts, blinding us with pride. The fireplace glowed brightly as the logs of wood crumbled to ash and dust. The gray ash and dust was caught by the iron bucket under the fire place. Both halves of the room were decorated differently. The fireplace,...
