His Love Is Never Far
by No Name

Despondent from the hurtful things she said,
The words of anger ringing in my head.
Upon my bed I cry and pray to You,
And often wonder if Your word is true.
But who am I to doubt Your tender love,
When You have shown me mercies from above?

The God Who made the world, the sky and sea
Sees me for who I am, and still loves me.
Almighty One who calls the stars by name

Change
by Frangipani Retrograde

Undertone of horror
Overture of pain
Melody of sickness
Resignation to the shame

Minor notes that crack like ice
From the tsunami below
The unchangeable blow of fate
Damage that will never show

Kill Me, Please.
by Frangipani Retrograde

I wrote some words
From the deepest of my soul
Wrote them on my right knee
Should I stay or should I go

I've had showers and
I've changed my clothes
But I keep them where you can't see
Let me die. Kill me, please.

My Flat - 6th-7th January 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart

Sitting in my own flat
MY flat
The coziness. The quiet!
With two floors, a spare bathroom
And no mortgage on it
Go fuck yourself Generation Rent!
What an achievement hey
I worked hard to get there
And when the mail comes through
It is for me, just me

Open Office Eavesdropper
by Frangipani Retrograde

Listen out across the room
To others' conversations
They seem to flow so sweet and free
Nothing like my emotions

Jealous of the way they speak
With confidence and humor
As though they know their priorities
Of which mine, I'm never sure

the knot in my chest
by Selim Özer

since days im feeling very stressed
but at a point i think i'm also depressed
i don't remember the last time showing myself being messed
today there was not just a heavy heart in my chest

i thought i was in hiding the best
but it turned out, me failing the test
keeping it in secret, that was my quest
but feeling pressed in the chest, gave me the rest

Reset on Life
by Kailey Norris

A reset on life, to start anew
To start clean.
A visible feeling of hope,
Happiness for days ahead.
Clean sheets, vacuumed rugs,
The smell of lavender, a fresh outdoor breeze.
A sense rare, but needed.
A new view on reality,
Peace in a physical feeling.

Death
by Kailey Norris

The most asked question of life isn’t about living itself,
But about death.
How were we created?
Where do we go when it is over?

The question isn’t about life,
But the absence of it.
Is death similar to the nothingness before birth?
Something completely different?
Does our conscience change that?

Peace and Sadness
by Kailey Norris

Peace and sadness have similar effects on the body,
But the meaning is vastly different.
A calm, weightless chest
Compared to a thoughtless, numb heartbeat.
A mind free from worry
Compared to protection, a split between mind and body.
Between thought and reality.

A cry of understanding,
Beauty found on earth.

Empty Chest
by Kailey Norris

I feel my heartbeat through an empty chest,
Calm is a state of mind.
A state of being.
Physically, calmness is the ability to block the mind,
Focus on slow breaths and smooth heartbeats.
