  • Red Flags

    Arise o manipulators Time wasters, drunk texters Stand right nau, what’s the problem? What’s up You’re still in denial right? I get that from people like you a lot The thing about red flags is that they always stay hidden While the green ones are flown, high in the air Like a parade of good…

  • Listen

    I’m tired of hearing the usual “say your mind,”Because whatever I say never really matters,People always just do what they want anyway,So why even bother? I’m always talking.Sometimes I raise my voice,In an effort to be heard.Then they yell at me “why are you shouting?!”Why won’t I shout?I’ve been saying the same thing for three…

  • The snap

    It felt like the world was spinning around me that day. It felt like the disbelief was twirling me around and around and I couldn’t stop. I felt dizzy but there was something else I felt, a heat rising in my chest that made me clear headed enough to focus on Chisom who was snapping…

  • The girl who does nothing

    I’m sitting in my bed just staring at my phone. It’s locked, the screen is dark and I’m just looking at it because I have nothing else to do. Oh, no wait, I actually do have a ton of things I have to do. I just don’t have the energy to do any of them.…

  • Talk

    All talk, no actionMakes Jack, a pathological liarKinda harsh? Yes, I know,But as the popular saying goes,Actions speak louder than words. It’s tiring, you know?Just listening to people say stuff,Making promises they can’t keep,Say things without an iota of truth,I keep wondering, just what is the point?Doesn’t the guilt hunt you?Won’t you get hurt in…

  • Resolve: A short story

    Clementine staggered forward not because she was trying to be difficult but because she had no energy left in her. Physically, her strength had been depleted and she was wondering how she was still conscious. Mentally, she felt even worse. Her resolve had basically been diminished by the jury’s verdict. There was no way out…

  • The Climax

    Everything around me seems to be falling apart,Like the pages of an old book which has been re- read too many times.I watch, my face dry having no tears left to cry,As people move on happily with their lives while I wallow in mine. My life feels like a crappy low budget tv show,And all…

  • Nobody gets it

    It hurts.I don’t think I’ve ever felt more alone.There’s nothing quite like it, this empty feeling in your soul.I try to fight it, try to get myself to calm down,But I can’t, and I have no idea why that is so. This lonely feeling comes when you reach out for help,And the people you talk…

  • Plagiarism

    A poet’s worst enemy,A thief’s best friend.Your work or an idea gets stolen from you,Pulled out from underneath you,By someone you’d least expect. There’s this ache in your chest,It really hurts,Your brain child has been kidnapped,And claimed by another.You tell people about it, pointing at the culprit,But try as you might they believe him over…
