Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Not fitting in: 1 of 50

I was nerdy- Round glasses, long hair that went everywhere Braces and chubby legs- my nose always in a book Long dark thin t-shirts- couldn't get me in pink My face- a ruddy bumpy mess with early acne at the age of 10 You glanced askance at me on the bus- Perfect hair, made-up fifth grade eyes- Your trendy clothes, active pa...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dancing: 9 of 136

A Different Dance You spin and gyrate, Jazzing your feet in unseen patterns, On this hard tile gym floor. You twirl your own way, Your own beat, Ignoring the thumping vibration, Coming from the loudspeakers. The others follow behind you, And tease you, Sarcastically pretending to be... You, seeing through Or perhaps not even...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Saying goodbye: 32 of 419

Waves sometimes i think we're all just ocean waves- drifting closer and farther from each other as the moon changes. people grow apart and crash together- spraying salt-tears 'till they hit the sandy ground and tired, meekly head back out into the storm again never the same. i remember a fire on the water lit the night when ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Self-reflection: 39 of 458

Declaration I will not flit. I will not fly. Instead, I will stomp my foot firmly on the ground, Move through my life not caring what those people think, I will never not be true to me I am not a flower, bruised by the rain. not a peaceful landscape, calm and green. I am not glass, I will not shatter. Through wind or hail or...

Tale of the Snow the snow cascades gently over everything in sight the wind whispers it falls in response an echo of a school bell rings in its silent whiteness a little girl comes out she blinks in surprise she picks up a fistful of the crystalline ice she wishes on it throws it to the air it swirls for a moment as a torren...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Writing: 4 of 41

A beautiful little boy named James Megree recently came to the forefront of literary discussion upon publication of his prodigious first work, Puppy, a collection of short stories he wrote in honor of his dog, Nadine. In most cases, such a work would never have been seen by the public eye, but left in the tattered crayoned n...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Depression: 152 of 630

depression There is a certain courage in starting the day- In moving each finger and not allowing the clock to spin by. The gray curtains covering her eyes move only with great effort, you know- It's so easy to get lost in the nothingness- the meaninglessness she fills her mind with when every thought chills like ice. Each m...

destiny I drape my arm across your back and Pull you closer to me to where you Gaze at me and I gaze at you And there's a world between That our minds alone create. And as if one person- we crook our lips And laugh in the still night- We make our escape from the rules of the game To that place where joy can be found in A han...

A Question of Antigone If something were to happen tomorrow, To threaten my life's breath, Would you be my Antigone? Sending a message of hope through me, But sorrow too, as death would carry your signature. A blossoming rose, would you fall in my place? An Alcestis, with no hero to fight off death?

I am lost in the moment between asleep and awake where I find myself dreaming of time to sleep, time to eat A place to lay my head and a day to do nothing in without feeling guilty or depressed or like I'm getting behind. It's getting to the point where I can't see who I can trust anymore All these people trying to maneuver ...
