How Innocent Are The Words
How innocent are the words from the mouths of cute teens, it's raw poetry dedicated to lovers in any season that inflames ardent desire! Can that burning flame endure the longest time and become brighter and hotter than a crackling fire? Nothing seems strange about being sentimental, it's the age of tender romance, somehow delusional; touching should be spontaneous, not considered sinful: we all...

Dreams beyond home
She walks the streets she’s always known, But feels a longing deep, alone. A fire burns inside her chest, To leave, to grow, to find what’s best. Her heart beats fast when she thinks of far, Of distant lights and shining stars. A thousand questions fill her mind— Will she be lost? Will she be kind? She dreams of skies she’s never seen, Of...

The Epitome of a Walking Riddle
she considers herself the epitome of a walking riddle, gentle by default but still lashes out bitterly. she tries to understand the world around her, but still feels like shes in a dream she can’t wake up from. she crumbles inside her skin but to others she looks completely comfortable. she’s the walking epitome of a riddle, for a riddle has...

one side
you tell me you love me— though only after i give you something. “go to the bathroom” “it’ll be fast” “it’s okay” you say when i tell you i’m scared yet, it’s not okay. i didn’t want love, i wanted to be loved. i wasn’t getting that from you, yet this still made me feel wanted. like someone finally wanted me. wanted us. in reality i was...

Her Name, Mine
We sat where the orchard meets the dusk, Legs folded like unopened letters. She laughed, and the wind— Traitorous — carried it straight through me. There was dirt beneath our nails, Scratched from some old pretending, And sap on our skin like guilt. We called it a game, that closeness, Two girls learning the language Of not touching. She wore her hair long, like mine— A...

Left Behind
You said you didn’t want to hurt me, But you did it anyway, You said you loved me, But you put me through this. You told me you weren’t ready, And that you need time for yourself, But if you weren’t ready, Why’d you say yes? You break my heart, And then act like everything is fine, You expect me to be okay, But you hurt...

Fourteen Feels Like Falling
I turned fourteen, the world turned cold, The light I knew felt strange, controlled. They said these years would shape my soul— But all I feel is lost and old. I used to laugh, just ‘cause I could, Run wild in every neighborhood. Now I just scroll, or lie awake, Pretending none of this can break. The mirror’s cruel, my thoughts are loud, I...

Tailored to Grow Up
In the world of today girls feel the need to sexualize themselves. Social validation is more important to them than personal values, family, and getting good grades. Makeup and skincare can be found in their online shopping carts— replacing Christmas wish lists along with clothes that are two sizes too big or two sizes too small. They get...
