There once was an oak And she stood, Right in the center of the wood. Her trunk was the thickest. Her roots were the deepest Her branches pointed high, Up to the pale blue sky. She thought she would never die. Storms would come and go, But she loved the sky so She just stayed… Continue reading Sophia Marshall – Oak

Curtis Chun – The Perfect and Unique Creature
I have too many enemies Magical tricks cause jealousy I belong from the past decade My nature rejects any aid Perfection defines my good soul The shape of my head is a bowl Fire escapes my angry nostrils It is hard to find my fossil When I outrage, I eat good food Great taste buds… Continue reading Curtis Chun – The Perfect and Unique Creature

We go away And we look at the night sky And we wonder why everything isn’t this beautiful We fall in love And suddenly everything is brighter And we wonder why we haven’t seen it before But go home By yourself And look at the night sky And look at all of the… Continue reading Ella Ryan

“This is My Reality” – Anonymous
No one sees the pain inside me No one understands This is my reality. I feel like I’m worth nothing I keep messing everything up. Why must this be my reality?

Break the Mold by TK Poehlman
This is a poem about being your own person because these chains have locked the thoughts in my brain to make them sit there and fester in pain but the strain is pulling much too hard like a traveling bard headed across a plane of existence within the cerebral cortex of those who have listened to the restriction… Continue reading Break the Mold by TK Poehlman
