I been
knocked down –
wind out
of my sails.

What Matters
I thought it mattered
so I hung on tight.
I thought it mattered
so I gave a good fight.
We Will All Bleed
by Jordyn Lee
Sitting there, so alone behind a screen
only to read gossip all over my news feed
I shake while seeing my name pop up with an embarrassing rumor- indeed
Why? I wonder- why are people so cruel and the need
making fun of others for their own deed
Thinking its a cool thing to do or it’ll make their self esteem…
Any higher?
Nobody Cried
It came as a great shock to everyone, the day his life was abruptly done.
They assumed he’d live forever, they’d say to one another:
(of course, after he’d shut his office door that is when the best gossip would begin to roar)
“He’s a grump,” “He’s a miser,” they all said so it was with no sorrow they learned he was dead.
In fact, they threw the biggest party, still going, so they tell me.
Defiant Sunflower
As I traveled down the road
The same ole scenery passed by.
Weeds, rocks, and of course, garbage –
Nothing beautiful caught my eye.
Where?
Marilyn’s Song
I hear the wind chimes,
dancing and playing in the wind,
Their song soothes my soul.
The Rose Decided to Bloom Today
The day had been hot,
The sun beat down
I gave it all I got
Digging the hard ground.
