  • Trial

    There will not be a fair trial  But all I can do is smile  The longer I keep wasting  When I find myself hating  As long as I don’t have to run a mile 

  • Mirror

    I saw the ghost in the mirror  And it sent me running out to clear her  The image was burned in my mind  But I also wondered if she was kind  I wish I had seen her clearer 

  • Running Scared

    Everywhere I seemed  To go.  You were behind  To always scare me. 

  • My Community

    “I knew my community would pull together when I really needed them.  They knew what I needed before I even knew.”  I stared out the window to the ocean and wondered what I could have done differently.  I needed to decide what I was going to do, but also longed for someone to tell me…

  • The Shadow

    Everything was going well until the sun started to set. That’s when the ghosts of my past started to come out. All the ghosts I thought I had hidden far enough into my closet I thought they were never going to emerge. I don’t know what it was about the sunset that worried me tonight,…

  • Buzzer

    As the time counted down to zero, I began to calculate what my next move would be.  I needed to be the first one out of the gym and to my car.  I just hoped Kori would not be waiting for me outside.  If I could make it to my car safely, I could get…
