Where I’m from
I am from Brown and Black leather, and laced up corsets Ear Cuffs, Goggles, Fingerless Gloves Ripped Jeans and Knee - High Boots with a thick heel, concealing a Dragon Dagger, I’m from Hidden handguns, Staffs, Falchions and Crossbows, I’m from the Wanderer, with all she owns in a Messenger bag, Traveling, Scavenging in Crumbling Cities I’m from a Dark Forest with a Full Moon And red Fall leaves carpeting the ground I’m from Small rivers that lead to powerful waterfalls A singular Blossoming tree standing alone on the edge of a cliff Standing on the edge, one is overwhelmed by Majestic Mountains Covered in Vibrant Maples Forever Frozen in Eternal Autumn Author: Mae Gate English II Ms. Courtney Cook 'Stop trying to tear people down and help them up instead.' DO THEY KNOW ? By Samma Hannon DO THEY KNOW ? I wonder if someone would notice my tears while I constantly get torn down, because i’m not perfect. I wonder if they know about the abuse and neglect that happened as a kid. Do they know how many suicidal thoughts i’ve had as I was forced to cook, clean and if I didn’t do it or if I refused, they would beat me and if I still refused they would beat me some more. There were days where I would go without food or breaks. I wonder if they would notice if I just stopped eating. If I just plain out just stopped caring whether I lived or not. It led me to almost commit suicide, all because a kid told and spread lies and told the untruths, little snide remarks and threats. All it takes is a couple of seconds for someone to believe that their life isn't worth living anymore. Stop trying to tear people down and help them up instead. If we did this, maybe just maybe the world wouldn't be preparing for a war because we can't all live under the same “rules”. We as a whole need to stop Bias and Individual acts of prejudice.

I drown in my music Softly screaming my grievances to the night sky A freeway of black and white, The lines and streaked lights flash by Nothing stays All is blurred by the tears shed By the tears yet to come I miss you I miss you more than my body will let me I'd shatter if I felt it all I miss you more than the stars in this hazy night sky I dream to study one day I'll think of you when I reach them Maybe I'll even find you among them Maybe on another freeway in another life you'll be mine But for now I'll drown in my music as the Utah snow freezes my tears |
