The Tutu and the Gown: A Fairy's Dilemma

Roaming in the corridor,
The fairy chuckled,
Mesmerized by the beauty of her own dress,
She grew self-assured in her little fairy school.

The multi-colored tutu,
inlaid with wild flowers;
Rivaled her silver sandals,
Which gleamed like her sparkling wings behind.

Then came the final day,
Bidding farewell to her tiny realm,
She moved ahead.

With sadness and excitement intertwined,
She decided to work through,
Until she became

Today in English

Today in english we had a free write.
I wrote about you, I always do.
I hate writing about you, but it's all I do.
My teacher says my work is amazing.
I wonder what she would think if she met you.
If you were amazing then.
After it all.

Miss You More

I'm missing you all over again
And it's not because you gave me hope
It's not because I love you more now

I miss you every day, especially at night
And it's because I gave myself hope
Because I saw you, now I see you everywhere

This Is Still Pain

they say boys don't cry,
so he bleeds instead.
silent screams hidden
under hoodie threads.
he skips meals
like skipping pages
in a book that no one wants to read-
his ribs start spelling out
"notice me"
but no one speaks that language.

"you're a boy, tough it out,"
they said
when his voice shook like glass$and his hands begged for
anything
but silence.

so he carved the words
he couldn't

Will End Too

As I sit by myself in a room full of 
Strangers,
I listen to the cacophony , The Chaos of 
Voices, laughter and conversations ;
It feels very familiar, 
and I can't help but wonder how soon it 
Will end .
            

And again after a few

Premium MemberHigh School Reunion

My high school reunion:
old classmates, 
old friends, 
old adversaries, 
old strangers
meet after decades
trying to discern
who's who,
who's lived,
who's passed,
who's disappeared...
lost youth commemorated...
survival celebrated.

Strength?

strength they call her fondly
she's courage to some
i hold her hand, let her in
let her show me who i shall be
i hold her hand, let her in
let her guide me through the thorny scene 

she stayed, with regret
hidden in neat folds of guilt 
she held grief, letting broken trust be built
she held softness, she held

Lost interest

the songs i dont play anymore 
the love i once had for you
it just melted to the floor ..

useless, absurd, what was the point?
A wasted heart given
to the wrong one
it was like a pain felt in my joint

will i ever love again?
I dont know 
i guess thats just how
how this world flow.
