Three Points of View: a sequence of poems by Aracali Ramirez, Envy Ray, and Jei Enloe
Closer to Me by Envy Ray I walk fast, head down, feeling the weight, Like everyone’s watching, deciding my fate. I feel like I’m always one step behind, Like I don’t belong, no matter how hard I try. My body’s a battle I never sought, Wide shoulders and edges I’ve always fought. The mirror, a…

What Nature is for Us
Nature is the physical world and everything in it. It’s fresh, open, a slow breeze, and warm sun. It’s like a big box of crayons. The wind is rustling the leaves of the trees and the birds are singing alone, as I walk through the forest listening to nature’s song. God created beauty and the…

The Journey by Envy Ray
In halls where laughter twirls and dreams take flight.We navigate the shadows that hide from the light.Each step is a puzzle; a twist and a turn.With teachers guidance like stars we take what we learn. Through whispers of hope and tears that may fall.We find strength in our stories united, we stand tall.Though some days…

My best friend yet almost my enemyHow good it seems yet how sick I feelHow silent it is but makes me screamHow confident I am until it sneaks up on meHow many calories?I take a marker to my sides, a few more repsIt’s not all as bad as it seemsI must restrict but cant let…

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…

The Beauty of Everyday – Livvy Wilkinson
It is easy to overlook the beauty that surrounds us in the simplicity of everyday moments. The magic found in mundane routines is often taken for granted. From your favorite coffee shop releasing their spring menu on a day you need a pick me up to your boyfriend stopping on the side of the road…

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. Humans as individuals cannot face the entire world…

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…
