In a lonely library
Lies a corner in the back,
With a small paper house,
Upon a full filled up rack.
It's base made of pens,
And it's walls made of cards
Keeps up a small roof,
Of orange pencil shards.
Inside the small house,
Keeps a stick figure man,
And his small paper cattle
Who graze on his land.
Eraser cap fields
And sticky-note flowers
Surround the stick figures house
Along with paperback towers
But near the small paper house,
In the encyclopedia train,
Where the covers are torn,
Is an inked paper gang.
With red marks like scars,
And grim painted faces,
The worn paper gang
Hides good with no traces.
They scatter dust on old books,
What can happen in one Year?
12 months
53 weeks
365 days
Who will you trust? Who will you forget?
How many smiles have you carved on your face?
How many times have you laughed?
Who will stab you in the back?
What can be accomplished in one year?
How many moments have you captured,
And secured into your mind for safe-keeping?
Who's in them? 365 days to see the world
How many mountains have you climbed over?
How many valleys have you rested in?
In a year,
12 months
53 weeks
365 days
We don't know the future
But we're going there anyway
Who's taking you?
Who took you to this year,
And painted your life with a brush made of gold?
Who didn't
She said it was an accident
The way she held the gun
Her glossy eyes filled with tears
But yet still shining like the sun
She said she ment to kill herself
Not her friend in place
She shot a shot, big and bold
And rang the empty space
But, her friend had jumped on it- he was
protecting her from hurt
But instead the fire, hit his chest
And blood red stained his shirt
Her eyes were pleading with us now
Her words stacked in a file
She hid her face with cherry hands
Her lips pursed in a, twisted smile
She said it was accident
That her friend had died right then
Our dective frowned upon her words
Scrawling notes inked in a pen
An accident, or

The Things I Didn't Know About Joy
We were looking for fish, but instead we found her.
You’d think there would be more to do in Clearwater, Florida. Right by the coast, where the smell of sea salt and sea creatures turns noses to the air. Where gentle breezes carefully caress the palm of the land. Really, you’d think there’d be more to it than just scenery and sand. Come to think of it, the sand is the scenery. And the ocean. There’s surfing and hang-gliding and jet skiing and volleyball. If I had a surfboard or hang glider or jet ski or friends. See, all of those cost money. Life’s pretty boring when you don’t have any of that stuff.

In a time long ago, in a place so discreet
An abundant of thankfulness
Can never be seen
The people, called Livings
Stayed in this town
And would never shed smiles
But instead they would frown
And in this town
Where the people would frown,
They wished for the things that they could not have
Money and gold, without their time being sold
And for their children to do things without being told
Jewelry, friends, and space for their house
And for their lives to be shared with a newly met spouse
These greedy, envious Livings
Were pitiful beings
Being thankful for nothing
So bad and unloving
It may sound dramatic
But believe me, it's true
These
All my secrets- to never be recovered
By peeping eyes and pompous rulers
Stay locked away
A rusted key
Holds all the stars I'v wished on
Hope- unfulfilled dreams
They lie in wait to be answered
unanswered, unanswered still-
In my private wishing well
The wishing well that needs no coin
The wishing well that won't grant wishes
But holds them- locked away
An opposite-wish-well
Holding waters of storing, not granting
Trapped until they fade
Silently drowning
My hopes- unfulfilled dreams

In the wishing well
In the days of Yellorangred
Ghouls and ghosts begin to tread
Through the winding, breezing bellow
And across the leaves of Redorangeyellow
The wind is crisp; a pompous lash
While nightly flashlights start to flash
Screams and laughter rise up high
And frightened children begin to cry
Moaning mummies crawl and creep
While undead zombies rise from sleep
Grinning bats let their smiles shed
All in the days of Yellorangred
Haunted houses get kids caught
In their challenge of great daunt
While conclusionsinous bets are being made
On the murderer of the masquerade
Bowls and baskets of sitting candy
Wrapped in wrappers 'oh so dandy
Sit upon the w

How To Write A First Chapter
We all know the importance of the first chapter. Of the first line. This is what draws your readers in, and even if they're going to fall off a 900 meter cliff you need to make sure they do not drop the book! Or in this case, computer, or even phone. What I do is I read the first paragraph of the piece, and skim along the pages. If it's boring? I put it down and move on. I bet literary agents are doing the same thing. If the first pages are good, (or in this case, first "part" or even chapter) then your reader will assume the rest of the story is good. But if they aren't, who's to say the rest of the story won't be the same way?

Living in Two Separate Worlds
Living in a different life
Seeing forth a different strife
I am noticed by only me
(Unless I won the lottery)
The tears I shred don't mean a thing
Because no one else can feel this sting
In my life there's only me
(Unless someone could hear my plea)
The face next to me wears a smile
Unaware that I'm hostile
That's because our's lives'r divided
(Unless we met, it'd be coincided)
I bet you're smiling at this time
Because in your life your joy is prime
I am living a world of hate
(Unless someone could lift this weight)
You see, everytime you laugh or grin
Someones hatred soon begins
That's because no one cares
(Unless they find some joy to s

The first time was in the rain. To me, everything is worse, emphasized almost, when it's in the rain. Why you ask? Because it's loud, wet, and cold. Especially when you don't have an umbrella. And me, walking down the street umbrella-less, was not very happy.
I had just came back from working as a waiter at Master's, one of the fancier, sit-down places. I was trying to save enough money to pay for my text books next year. With Dad gone (not gone as in dead. Gone as in he had left. 7 years ago.) and 2 younger siblings, it was hard to have a good amount of cash available. Mom is always working non-stop and I can't find a better j
