Prescription Cover – Avaya Sterrett
We are misunderstood by what they only see,forteens the burdens can be immense,Prescriptions that embrace a fragile defense. Just a young adult trying to seek for compassion,A shadow of smoke flows like the sea to ease the pain , And allow minds to wanderfree,Not forfun orthoughtless flights, But to sail our minds through the darkest…

Anxiety and How it Impacts Students by Avaya Sterrett
Anxiety and the way it affects people is astonishing. It is one of the most prevalent mental health issues and it’s so hard for some people to overcome or even face. And it does affect a lot of academic performance, resulting in them failing or falling behind. A small part in the brain, about the…

Whispers of Rain – Liv Wilkinson
Let it pour, let it fall I will soak it up all in one Each drop from natures gift Carrying a secret from her sky Telling tales as they drop by Kissing the earth with tender care A quenching thirst, a love affair In every drop, a story not told As they fall, a tale…

The Hesi – Dominic Utley
The desire to have others satisfied or desired by my work has been near a lifelong journey for me thus far. Sprouted by a ghost of a father, watered by the tears of solitude. It grew for I was only a child into a fear bewildered by the sclera. The fear grew to feel like…

Alone in April – Grace Kasanos
I miss the sand The vastness of the land I wouldn’t think you’d understand Never meant to be tamed Feeling ashamed of my mind Thoughts that can’t be explained The blackest sheep in the herd My words never understood Forever wishing you could Trying to find the right thing Is this just another fling Will…

Loneliness – Dominic Utley
Humans are intersocial creatures designed to be a part of a social circle and cooperate with each other. Loneliness is a big word for our understanding, when the population is at an all time high it can seem hard to think of other humans in your corner.

The impotrance of life – Caleb Marvive
The time we spend on this earth is so very limited, in the vast expanse of the universe we are a tiny speck. So I always ask myself the question: Why do we get so caught up in this idea that everything has to fall into place, and why, until those events happen do we…

LOL – Grace Kasanos
I’ve used all of my juice I am a nub of chalk A dried up marker I live among piles of clothes The weight of my guilt pressing down on my chest I look out the glass to the moon I wonder if I will see you soon I remember being small, up on my…

The Development of Human Connection – Dominic Utley
Human connection is imperative and essential to understand how to interact with the world. We develop connections with those around us as soon as we can perceive the world: our parents feed us, warm us and protect us. We base our interactions with the world on the first interaction with our parents. We continue to…

The impact of you – Grace Kasanos
Slow from the start, talking in halls and bathroom stalls. May preludes the summer days, abandoned in a haze. Summer breeze, shaded by the trees. Picnics in the park and sidewalk chalk. School begins again, and I need a friend. I felt so alone until the sun had shone. Your spirit has warmed my soul.…

perspective, hope then love – Shae Swensen
Perspective is a very important aspect to life that I feel gets overlooked. In every relationship, platonic, romantic, family; there’s a different perspective from every person. With that comes alot of confusion and misunderstandings. Everybody sees things, feels things and acts on things differently. We all have lived very different lives that we use as…

Solving the teacher shortage crisis by Jose Reyna Rodriguez
One thing that is always mentioned in how to create a better future for individuals and society at large is quality education. I fundamentally believe this to be true, and I don’t doubt that you agree. That is why it is a tragedy to see the institution of education be underfunded and under-appreciated. We have…
