MARITAL DECEPTION
by AUSTIN
It was a dark and stormy night,
with no one in sight.
Just 2 figures, in a fight.
There was a scream, and a bang, then deep silence.
A body left in sight, the murderer ran, left, then right.
He was gone in a flash, way out of sight.
No one knows exactly who did it.
But wait,
where was his wife?
They say she was kidnapped… but that couldn’t be right.
They were the only ones there, and it wasn’t implied.
Maybe it wasn’t a mystery,
maybe,
it was his wife…
LOVE IS
by DIAMOND
Love is something that’s irreplaceable; it is a very strong thing.
So if you don’t actually mean it, don’t say it.
Hearbreak is nota good feeling, so don’t put false feelings out in the open.
People get hurt from things of the sort, you lie to her face and mine too.
You can no longer be trusted, you put Amber in a very bad place. She cries her eyes out not knowing what to do.
How could you hurt someone and not tell Amber? She is now afraid and hates you.
You can never be trusted, you’re going through things… she’s going through things.
But honesty is the key to all.
Now what i’m saying is true fact; she came home from work and saw all of the blood everywhere, knife in your hand…What did you do? How could you?
You broke her heart and you are a disgrace to this Earth. No more changes will go out to you.
You hurt her, broke her heart. You also hurt many more… you are no longer important.
MY FRIEND
by DIAMOND
My friend Ally has been missing for a whole year now. They finally found her body today. Me and the girls were so devastated. Now, it’s only us four left. Aria, Emily, Hannah, and me. We all went to the funeral together. It was so quiet and sad. When it was over and we were standing around her grave, we all got a message at the same time. It was from someone that many of us don’t know yet.
SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO
by MALIKA
The reason why
for all love to be eternal
the sky crying out
the thunderous storm ahead
the river crashing onto rocks
waves crashing and spinning everywhere
taking everything into its path.
Destruction is everywhere.
Trees violently being shook
leaves falling and blowing into several directions.
The direction of where to go
the direction of where one should stay
the direction is everything.
Why must things be complicated
why must the sky cry out
why must the river crash and cause destruction.
The pain is what I see
the pain and destruction that is ahead of me
the destruction of my inner self.
The destruction of whether or not I should stay
or go.
I AM TIRED
by DESTINY
I’m tired.
Tired of the ups and downs.
I’m tired but finally now I’m found.
The future is calling me, I step into the light.
I fall not yelling feelings like snow falling from the sky.
I’m not tired.
I finally found a way to get out and be me.
The future was beautifully fantastic.
So white snow everywhere I was on Earth right, but felt like I was on Pluto.
Deja-vous…flashback in school I was like Pluto
Quiet not considered anything.
I was the only one here… then I heard someone singing.
It was me.
How did I live?
I’m standing here with me and saying “hi.” She says she’s from the past, and that she is me.
