  • Forgotten

    Lost and unnoticed  Crawling behind forgiveness  Waiting on fighters 

  • Looking for a Friend

    You should be enrolled  Fighting for your future life  Please do not back down 

  • Out of Sight

    You are out of your league  If you want to get home before midnight  You will only end up with battle fatigue  And will end up in a fight  For all the horrible things you said to me  I knew you went out of your way  Just to make yourself look respectable  Making me unable…

  • The Fight

    “It was horrific.  The worst.  Like I couldn’t believe what I saw.”  The longer Jennifer went on about the fight, the easier it was to tune her out.  I wondered how long she could talk about a fight and still be interested.  Henderson and Max had gotten into a verbal confrontation – Max threw one…

  • A Verbal Agreement

    “We had an apartment!  You gave me your word!”  My neighbor screamed at her boyfriend from her front porch.  Honestly, I didn’t bat an eye because they were constantly getting into shouting matches and I really paid attention if they were physically threatening each other.  I was happy there were no children who were daily…

  • Gone Again

  • The Barn

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I was nervous about staying with my grandparents the minute I saw their ‘barn.’ The windows were completely boarded and though the stone walls looked fairly clean-ish, nothing surrounding the barn did. This was the first time I had ever met my mother’s parents due to a fight they had…

  • The Boxer

    “I never knew he could fight.  Or that he would fight.”  I turned to see Lily standing next to me with her jaw hanging open.  We were waiting, or in reality, I guess we were hiding behind a tree and we weren’t hiding well.  “Lily, maybe we should leave.  I know we should leave.  I…
