Hey
By Genesis Ellen
Call out to me if you dare
The gesture’s only fair
Vague and bittersweet in memory
I can only imagine how you feel for me
Unbeknownst to you, my heart fully shattered
Self-destructing ‘till my soul lay battered
Blindly continued, my quests for redemption
As our connection dissolved before my eyes
I unbearably forgave you and all of your lies
Music I treasure as solace invades
I no longer endure the pierce of your blades
Open-hearted and willing
Still wishing and hoping and missing and learning
Mr.
By Genesis Ellen
He’s desperately searching through archives galore
To find out cruel secrets; digging for more
Accosting the people for personal gain
He’s ornery, and refuses, to be called so vain
For deep in his soul is a meek little boy
Crying for help, ever since he lost his toy
Whimpering at night when his ego’s not in sight
For if they knew the truth, he’d be bare-
It’s unfair-
To plead for identity, and be responded to with no remedy
So he follows along with life’s strange melody
And crosses the street with his documents, allegedly
a drive

Whenever her favorites flowed,
The windows rolled.
Her hair danced in the wind
Twirlin’, twistin’ just as it should.
She always soaked up the memories being made
Admired the people passing by
Took these moments in all of its entirety
There wouldn’t be another day like it.
Life’s greatest delights tend to be effortless
She never failed to recognize that.
Her presence was that of an angel
Simply feeling blessed to share her joys.
For a sparse second
Everything felt okay.
Downcast
By Kailee Hanks
I am infatuated with you.
The way that you admire yourself in the mirror and pick the worst and best things about yourself is outstanding and yet so depressing.
You’re picky.
You’re as picky as a person with orthorexia.
Matching from head to toe with grief from losing yourself and putting thyself down from not being stronger than the storm.
You learned that you could not run as fast as the wind but could walk with the breeze.
Take it slow.
As I wish I could put my love for you into yourself so you will no longer suffer.
If you suffer I swear I will suffer with you.
how did I ever fall infatuated with such a sorrowful soul.
