Angel
By Genesis Ellen
Leveled out, upon the cool ground
Her wings lay lifeless and her breath makes no sound
Enormous intensity from this view she has found
Of her glistening city and the soul to whom she’s bound
Gazes burning deep across their faces
These moments near infinity form tension in their spaces
Fearing nothing more than to be human, the emotions she displaces
Rising near the white horizon, her fall nearly graced us
As she surrendered her life to far away places
Beneath her tears, a silver dream
Where all is secure and her soul needn’t scream
Anxiety
By Olivia Martinez
7:00 PM on a Sunday.
Im laying in bed,
netflix in reach,
Im clean and comfy and content.
I despise the way you work.
Inconsiderate to the way I function–
The way I live.
“When do I cross your mind?”
And no hesitation i respond
“Always.”
Your cycle is all too familiar.
I tend to look for someone to blame.
I’m drowning.
And the hand that helps
Holds the guilt.
“Get over it”
But it’s not that simple
I’m a slave for your artistry.
It’s hot and sticky,
Oxygen becomes thick.
You fill a 5×5 room
Floor to ceiling.
Im gasping for a breath
My oxygen is dropping
Yup, i die here.
Panic.
My suffering gives you a high
That i will NEVER understand.
The day that I overcome your power
Will be the first day of my life.
I will be living.
Honey
By Genesis Ellen
Deeply golden and sickly sweet
Forgetting is painful when the source made them complete
Shared in heat, it’s hard to beat
The emotions spill out now all through the streets
Forgetting hurts when the voices grow and your only choice is to delete
Fade it all out when you need,
But the dawn prevails and you soon retreat
Crawling to climbing swiftly up from your feet,
Knowing someday
That you will meet
