  • SPELL TRAP

    by JAYMISON

    Equality.
    Is that what I fought for?
    The liberation that was given to me,
    it doesn’t feel that I am free.

    These abilities that I was born with, the burden
    the pain of being held back.

    You don’t know the feel, that when
    you see the hero inside you but
    can’t help the ones that need it
    the most.

    Equality.
    Not ever hearing the word that you
    are unique,
    just hearing you are all the same.
    You’ll never be different.

    Equality.
    I will not accept this. This equality to
    subject myself to being equal. I will
    be an Emperor and take my Empress
    And claim my nation.

  • WATCHED

    by KEITH

    With everyone’s eyes on you, what can you do?
    Every corner like vultures waiting on you,
    waiting for you to fail,
    waiting for you to rebuttal so you may be
    cleansed.

    Purified of common sense, the conscious
    mind eradicated,
    the lens condenses as melting ice zooming in
    closely.
    To the degree of an atom on your behavior,
    making you exposed, as a newborn dropped
    into the safari desert.

    Being confined by the eyes of the country,
    though not confined by the wall of a building.
    Protecting our laws that free us with walls,
    Speaking of a civil and peaceful world through
    having the eye of a tyrant in the form of a
    camera lens.

  • I CAN’T BELIEVE

    by JAMMONICA

    I can’t believe that this angel came back, because at first I was stuck in a big hole. Like I was in hell or something. But this wonderful angel came back to protect me from all the demons. That had me stuck into this deep dark hole. I was scared that I wouldn’t be saved. I was scared that an angel would save me. I couldn’t believe it. The angel has a halo and wings. The angel was miraculous, the greatest one ever. I thought I would have been stuck in the dark still but a light struck me out of nowhere. I’ve been struck by a beautiful bright light. I actually thought I wouldn’t be saved. I thought I would have been taken away. But I wasn’t. This angel protected me from this dark force. This angel didn’t want me to be destroyed or taken by this dark force. The angel wanted me to stay because I was a good addition to this earth. She wanted me to shine so bright. I shone so bright. It felt like I was on top of the world.

  • BICYCLE RIDES

    by VANESSA

    Bicycle rides to the park
    Warm windy feeling as I stroll along
    Watching Batman movies all day long
    Family dinners every night
    Watching soccer games during
    Midnight
    Hanging out with friends
    Thinking about my crush
    Summer fireflies
    Hiking through forest

  • HOW I TRY TO HATE YOU

    by EMILY

    I hate how much I love you & I love how much I hate you.

    At night you make me smile & cry. In the morning you make me get out of bed & bring me down the rest of the day.

    I want you to stay & leave at the same time. I want to look at you while waiting to forget you were even there.

    I want us to be together & I want you to do something to make me hate you.

    I love you & I can’t stand it. I want you to notice my existence & I want to ignore yours.

    I want you to feel how I feel & not be able to do anything about it!
