I sit in class, I play pretend, I laugh too loud, I text my friends. They say, "Grow up," but I never did— I’m just a kid. I make mistakes, I talk too fast, I dream of days that never last. They roll their eyes at what I did— I’m just a kid. I hide my tears, I bite my tongue, they say I'm...

I’m finally going to get on that platform on the 18th of next month, for a first-time, one-time performance. The once, seemingly impossible will come fully true, which seems like a lot narratively. It’ll be like leaving home—but we’re crashing out. Moving on to other plot points, big topics and intense missions. We’re all caustically optimistic. Although there’s a cellular-level pull to...

If I keep on talking And continue walking, I shall not fail; But I will excel If I keep on believing And not allow deceiving I shall not fail; But I will excel If I keep on giving More than I'm receiving, I shall not fail; But I will excel If I allow the Lord above To fill my heart with love, I shall not fail; But I will...

March 2020 A serene morning. I rouse to no ding. Am I daydreaming? I languorously lock my eyes on a clock. It is getting on for 10 o'clock. A muffled bang on the door. I am not alone at home?

She's carrying wealth from the qatar, A degree in hand, now deserves a trip to Zanzibar As a bright future taking off. A success story let's celebrate, Launch another missile We are ready for another blastoff. With passion she...

Stickers hide butter yellow behind princesses, animals, stars, happy faces, everything adhesive. About 50 inches up the walls.. stickers and fingerprints. Giggles echo. Spray paint...
