goodbye forever
by Mackenzie Bilz

Why does my life always end up this way?
No matter what I do nobody comes to save the day
Although the sun shines and the birds sing
No matter how far I walk my ears just continue to ring

Walking
Turning
Running
Panting
Breathing

by Morgen Nudel

I only know
how to write

sad things
sad songs
sad brings along

the anger,
the angst from my teens
my spiritual upbringing

Spotify Stalking
by Frangipani Rhett

I cried so hard last night
That I played a song on repeat
It was one I pulled from a Spotify playlist
That I want to assume is yours

It sounds like a lullaby
And I imagined you singing it to me
Telling me it'll be alright
And running your fingers down my face

In This Moment.
by HIRAETH Mccombs

My lips are a barrier to a sick tongue,
Lies taste sweet, I can never get enough,
The truth is bitter, and It goes down tough,
My throat burns.

My thoughts take over the empty spaces,
And They find their way to the darkest places,
I can not even remember what today is, let alone what my name is,
Broken.

The Wind On The Ledge
by Chloe Foster

The wind scatters her hair,
The fragile fabric of her shirt clings to her back.
The wind attempts to push her forward,
As her crowded and crammed mind begins to retract.

Trapped in a memory,
Existing in the exhausting grasp of the past,
Her world; wrapped up in a few moments,
A box of trauma and pain that has yet to pass.

Father
by John Hughes

All my life I wanted a dad, a cool dad
Someone who would fight for me like I would fight for him
But I don’t think I ever found that
I found someone broken yet living just teetering off into outer space
Still believing in the lord
But the lord not showing any mercy on his soul

maybe the only way to find out is death
by Mackenzie Bilz

What do I do?
I feel like everything just keeps going wrong.
Things get worse and worse and never improve.
Every time I see the light, I can never reach it.
What do I do?

Hope is there.
Just at the edge of my fingers.
At the tip of my tongue.
It’s under my nose.

Tired of trying
by Mario Odekerken

Each morning,
I lace up the same silence
and wear it like armor.

Smiles crack
before they reach my eyes.

I speak,
but he words feel borrowed.
