The platform.
by Katie Louise

Standing on the platform, desperately trying to conform. Longing to fit in.

These thoughts inside my head, they tell me I’m better off dead. What if I just took one step forward, then another… and another. Knowing that the next train would surely smother… me.

I’m a prisoner in my own mind, some may say I’m one of a kind but I don’t think so. I’m just a warrior fighting daily battles just like anybody else, right? Wrong. We may all struggle but I am in my own fight. My own mind. One of a kind.

I and my suitcase are boarding the train now. I managed to fight and resist the urges somehow.

Seated, Feeling defeated. One headphone in my ear listening to some new pop song. I’m people watching as other desperate souls walk along the platform beside me.

Sonnet XXV – For Living I Was Born
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze

Not to shudder nor to fall,
Not to blubber nor to shake.
Not to run, not to give up;
Not to be enslaved by mistakes.

Not to bow down hopeless and cry
Not to blame God and ask why.
Not even to stop a little while...
Long the mile and naught the time.

Rotten memories

Glass breaking.
Doors slamming.
Yelling.
Staring at the hurricane in my home
I just stand still
what could an 8-year-old do.
Except stand and watch in fear.
My dad would throw things at everyone

Too much These Days
by Beatrice Knox

I know you’re out there
I know you’re listening
All is not well
Each thought going at my brain
Brawling until I can I longer think
Until I can no longer feel
Uselessness cuts my legs
Isolation feeds on my tears
Each breathe runs fast
Oxygen is escaping quickly

Numb
by Yoko Fushigina

Even if world turns upside down,
Stars crumble like powdered sugar,
And all the creatures become torn and numb,
We will still sing and silently flicker.

Our mute voices will break through the clog,
They will fuse and fill all around.
Just as the beacon light through the fog
They will help the luck to be found.

Fight
by Rex Keener

People get argry
We all have emotions
Along with ideals
Humans are violent
Which leads to a unholy concoction

FIGHT

It can be over petty childish squabbles
Or over the fate of the world

Home
by Zara Maralit

Four corners of my home
As if I knew what home was.
Was it the screaming of pain?
The shouting of my mother,
Or was it my dad, abusing her?
I Remember that time
Of Old rain and thunderous clashing
The breaking of pots and pans
To the dishes that crack.
And the monstrous yell,

One more
by Hannah Woerner

I often wonder when I’m writing
Why, what use is it to take these words in my head and put them on a piece of paper

It’s not like they’ll ever be shared

It’s not like someone would read them and care

I often wonder am I just stalling until I learn how to speak again

Stalling until the storms and the silent thunder that echo in the cavern of my mind finally find their strength and learn how to die
