“it’s okay” they said
“we all have our own path of growth deeply individualized by our past”
“to denounce who you were and to agree with your self hatred means i strayed away from my path, backpedaling”
“you were who you were and you are who you are, just as she is and they are”
“the ones who care too much for your journey and tread along beside obsessed with you lose focus of where they are going surely to trip on the way, taking a detour on a crossroad of unfated destiny, but that is now their path, again greatly impacted by where they were and where they thought they were going”
“a long winded way to say to each his own”
they told me this unsbject of selfishness or deviance
“i love you and we will go our separate ways, alleys, avenues, and one day i hope to meet you at the end of a corridor. you, ready with stories to pour out of your heart, i will sit there patiently astounded by who you’ve become beaming at the grace that our paths crossed”
I Yearn
by Everleigh Blackburn
In the quiet corners of my mind,
echoes linger,
words unspoken,
wrapped in shadows,

“No Loitering”
by Drew Schoenfeld
The sign says “No Loitering”

by Edwin Miles
blur my vision

let shapes appear
now mountains
here come staggered soldiers

they come for us
to find us
to harvest and to harm us
we are wanted

Commit
by Cassie Frazier
I relapsed today. Not in a drug way!
No!
Stop— it’s more complicated than that.
It’s okay, I’m fine,
I mean; why wouldn’t I be?

Inbetween you and me
by Mario Odekerken
Something hangs in the air
not heavy,not light
a silence that speaks more
than words could ever hold.
Between you and me
something unspoken drifts
no fight,no peace
just the in-between.

Tussen jou en mij
by Mario Odekerken
Er hangt iets in de lucht
niet zwaar,niet licht,
een stilte die meer zegt
dan woorden ooit kunnen vangen.
Tussen jou en mij
zweeft iets onuitgesprokens
geen strijd,geen vrede
alleen het tussenin.

To be One Again
by Kirsten Moreton
To Be One Again
On the ground lies a girl,
Dirt runs through her veins.
Thorns prick through her quick with a click.
