do YOU see YOUR FUTURE by Walker Summers
Hmmmm mmhhhhmmmmmm people talk shit bout me, why I couldn’t tell you if I tried, Deep down I know it ain’t right, I already know what goes down, been there done that, It’s whatever ’cause I’ll always fight back. They got no clue what’s in the eye of the future, It’s so good can’t even…

Peace at Last by Walker Summers
Gentle, I always wondered this feeling, felt like I’d never find it, Till you came along, I wasn’t sure if I liked it. My past didn’t matter to you, I know this time it’s different, Finally, I get a refreshment, a moment of pure contentment. That girl, so special, she’s divine… shit, she gotta be…

Angel by Jei Enloe
You called me your angelAnd you thought i could save youYou couldn’t see the hell behind my eyesAnd it drew you in closer Your heart has been hardenedBy years of hidingFar from the truthBelieving you are invincible Remember, a pretty faceDoesn’t always mean a pretty soulHearts are hauntedBy ghosts of a foggy past You called…

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…

Princess Ana by Araceli Ramirez
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…

beautiful moments by Jei Enloe

Shawty by Walker Summers
You so fine, shining brighter than a dime, in my pocket I wanna take our hearts and just lock it In Hot like a dumpster fire except I could never throw you in the Bin All it took was that first text Hit me like a shot through the chest Luckily I got that bulletproof…

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…

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…

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…

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 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.…
