A High School Rough DraftHello, Hello, just a shadow
In a rat race on game show
it’s a rat race on a circus show
Just a game for the cat chase,
In a rat race against the cat chase
In this circus show
On my tiptoe, for Romeo
Under the mistletoe
But the lifeguard let go
Manifesto
I'm in denial
I'm in denial
Hunted by a crocodile
I'm swimming idle
I'm swimming...

They Offer You Certainty As If It Is Not A Thing They BrokeCan you trust someone you have doubted in the past? It feels like asking a cracked mirror to show you the truth. Like setting your compass to a magnet and pretending the direction still means something. The apology might come, just in velvet, but still, you remember how cold the knife felt even before it...

Screaming Under WaterIt feels like screaming underwater. Like I opened my chest, and handed you my lungs. You told me they weren't real. Like I am sitting in a room with the windows shut. Everyone smiling, nodding, laughing, while I am on fire, but nobody smells the smoke. I say what I think, and it echoes back...

APROPOS OF GOD'S COMPASS: A TANKA TRIOBe as the sun,
And doubt not the Son of God;
Your guiding compass:-
Divine guidance is your gift;
Praise God for each day’s dawning:-
After sleep, you wake,
There’s sunset and sunrise;
You’re guided between:
Always believe in yourself;
Always be in God’s guidance:-
Journey faithfully,
You are destined for success;
God is your compass:
When lost, sign in your compass
And be guided on your way:-

Memorial Junior HighMalcolm and Courtney at Memorial"
In the halls of Memorial Junior High,
Where lockers clanged and dreams flew high,
Two hearts met in a gentle spin—
Malcolm and Courtney, love would begin.
Between math class and lunchtime chatter,
They found in each other what truly mattered.
A glance, a smile, a whispered joke,
And soon, young love softly awoke.
Courtney laughed like sunshine in...

SHAMELESS NAKED TREES: A HAIKU TRIOTrees’ leaves were ripped off,
leaving nakedness behind
with teasing winter:-
Nude trees not ashamed
as winter winds teased them;
their hope barked in spring:-
Through thrusting winter,
naked trees never gave in;
waiting coming leaves:-

Drowning in your eyesThe appeal of blonde hair never spoke to me until now
I was content with the plain brown
But then your blue gaze snagged onto mine
And now it’s taking all I have not to drown.

RoshidereSilver-haired princess
Masks her heart with icy glares
Russian secrets bloom
Whispered words like snowflakes fall
Melting on his unhearing ears
Classroom desk neighbors
She scolds his sleepy slouching
Yet yearns for his touch
Pen scratches hide heartbeats quick
As spring thaws winter's silence
Student council's queen
Wears a crown of solitude
He sees through her guise
Their dance of shy glances spins
Like leaves in autumn's crisp wind

Who am iI Don't know what to do
People Day That i am worthless
My thoughts are all blue
My whole life is a mess
I Think its safe to say
That I'm not normal
I Don't want to stay
Past memories still haunts me
I guess for this world
I'm not that enough
I Just need a sign
Not to end my life
Screamed at the Peak
Nobody can...

Magical NightYou can see the star twinkling
Up in the sky
In your eyes I'm sinking
Don't wanna say goodbye
Fresh air I feel
Your eyes on me
With you I'm healed
And we're free
I feel , I feel , I feel
It's like a dream come true
With you my love
Don't know where to go
Your hands on my hair
It seems it's a magical night
No...
