The world is bleeding and it seems no one can do a thing to stop it. There's desperation in the urgent need for healing and no one seems to care. They've given up, it's probably too late as the planet spins out of control. The greed of men seems boundless, does no one see the coming of the end? Submitted on July 5, 2025 for...

When Hell Is Full** Sweet memories fade like old Navy clothing, leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth— like a can of Grace corned beef with stale onions, drizzled with oil; it was tolerable at the time. Years have passed, yet those thoughts still send chills down my spine. I utterly...

I often struggle to make peace with nagging relapses that, like endless tides, come then I need to chase away. Intrusive rekindlings of loss, of wanting to resurrect the past, each time needing to go through the motions of convincing myself it's pointless. Confined, trapped, buckled in, I ride this live rollercoaster that leaves me feeling disillusioned, frustration having a bitter rancid taste....

who's got a tourniquet? the world bleeds out of her limb. she's anemic. the ship of world peace has sailed; existential chaos reigns supreme. recourse to arms now the go-to solution for nations at loggerheads. bellicose, sanguinary; they're way past handshakes. who's got a tourniquet? ...

Sometimes, I feel completely alone. No matter how much I try to reach out, or try to connect. Sometimes, I feel unwanted. No matter how much love I pour out, or try to perfect. Sometimes, I feel misunderstood. No matter how much I try to explain, or try to correct. My delivery always seems off or lost in translation. I’m told that...

no i wouldn't die for you. i wouldn't, and i'm not sorry. i spent too long hiding in the shadows, waiting lurking wanting and hoping that they'd see that I would have. in an instant, i would have. a bullet, a train, a grenade, a pile of pills. i would've taken any of them for anyone. but instead, life shot me with an arrow. life gave me you. this...

The world is bleeding We stand at the edge of a precipice, Looking in fear on our Earth, Boiling, bubbling, and steaming, With pools of blood flowing. Warplanes blanket the sky. Volcanic sounds pierce the ear. Booms of gun shots rent the air Lightning passes blinding the eye The skies let down a deluge of tears The old world is strangled to death Toxic waste muddles...

Why don't I sleep? Those creepy crawlies under my bed Those monsters in my closet- they’re in my head instead The rotten apple is my heart I’m alone in the dark That black blanket pressing Down, down, down Cocooned and captured Yet comforted: The absence of sounds Whilst my thoughts drown Sleeping is for the weak I’m alert. Sound the...

I want this loneliness to end, I need a bestfriend, I'm tired, I'm lost, Where do I run to When I need to cry? You know, the water droplets that come out of eyes When your heart is heavy like a Bag full of wet cotton, That ache worse than a grazed knee, Where do I run to? Who do I run to? I'm lost, In an...

The voice within, a whisper bruised, Fights the noise the world has used To carve a man from primal bone To cage the beast, to leash the lone. The mind, a mat where wars unfold, Instincts wild, but nurtured cold. They tame him not with chains or rods, But with applause and wooden Gods. He wears the mask, rehearsed and tight, Performs by day,...

Hang ups, I’ve got plenty of those Like a phone with too many busy signals, I couldn’t get through to you. I think the number you gave me was out of service. You said, “Dial me up” but the damn phone was a push button. I called long distance, the operator said “Put another quarter in.” Sadly I only had one thin...

the accident When crossing the street, cars had stopped  to let him cross in respect for his age He was thinking of death; he hoped it would be sudden, no sentimental last farewell, no lies about seeing you on the other side Should there be another side, he wouldn't He liked to meet people he had met in life side A piece of...

To the body I wish I could see Why oh why can't you be me I wish the work I do in the morning Would show instead of the cautious warning That nothing I do will stay And that layer of fat will remain anyway Clinging relentlessly to my belly and hips Oh how I wish you could see my ribs...

Artificial intelligence created simply, because we can to easily, lazily, complete tasks we plan, and ones perhaps, we cannot do on our own. No incentive now to pursue knowledge or grow no need for humanity to learn or know how we are succumbing to boredom...
