What I Wish For Me and the World
Submitted by cflickinger on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 10:35pmI have always wished to play professional basketball because I love the sport and that is all I can think about. I wish to create more foundations to help youngsters believe in themselves when I become a basketball player just like some professional ball players do now. I wish there wouldn't be any drug dealers or criminals anywhere so that we can all stay alive and be safe.

If I had three wishes...
Submitted by cflickinger on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 10:30pmIf I had only three wishes, I would wish for peace in the world, no money to worry about and to never speak of girly things in the world. I wish for money to disappear so that there would be no such thing as rich or poor and we would all trade and decide which trades are best for our own lives. I would wish for peace in the world so there wouldn't be any wars at all and everyone would be friends with each other without girly things to judge who we are.

All In Three Sentences
Submitted by cflickinger on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 10:15pmMy first wish is to bring back the ones that I love because I miss my family and pets who loved me and cared for me so much. My second wish is world peace because I am sick of all the wars we have and losing friends and family. Lastly, I wish for no more bullying because bullying scares all of us even when we get bullied because your feelings get hurt and you feel sad.

Three Wishes
Submitted by cflickinger on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 10:12pm
If I had three wishes, my first wish would be to become a professional hurdler with my uncle as my personal trainer as I can learn so much from him. My second wish would be that people won't make a lot of garbage and recycle, make compost for fertilizer and for your gardens and to collect rain in rain barrels for nutrients in our soil. I wish people would respect your personality, your likes and dislikes instead of making fun of others.

metamorphosis
Submitted by River on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 9:55pmit's funny how the sun starts running through everyone's minds now spring has finally sprung and suddenly everyone can look up again instead of letting sleet subdue them shuffling through six inches of slush and now that things have begun again they can bring out their daughters and sons and start gardening while the wind wages wars and the streets again begin to thrum
all winter the dusk and the dawn were ditched for this dullness, just the death of the day and then, late, the light wearily crawling back into the sky (just at the edges of our sight since we never looked up) without ever not being dead anymore and giving us no guidance as we crawled out of bed still in the dark which is a terrible thing to do alone and what a terrible time to be alone at all, in the dark and the drear and the dread forgetting how not to be alone at all, how to be more than one
and what a time to start being not so much alone, in that tentative interval between the last snowmelt and the first buds and then you and the grass seeping up all Irish Green around our feet and the first crocuses and you and all the trees blooming at once, arms hung heavy with the temptation to out-flower each other and you under them my own temptation letting me glimpse how I tempted you too and letting it all just happen like the impossiblest truth like without the weight of winter I could look you in the eye and you liked what you saw and the world and all its impossibilities opened with the sky because we could see each other in the sun Read more »

Today I realized...
Submitted by Chelsearocksyou... on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 9:23pmToday I realized that it wasn't just us in the world,
That everything is so much bigger, bigger than it seems,
I don't know if I can handle it.
I think I thought everything was going to be easy
and that things would just fall into place,
but they won't, they never will.
Today I realized that people choose popularity over happiness
You did, didn't you?
and left me here in the dust, in your tracks?
They did, didn't they?
and went off riding in the sunset with me yelling for them to wait up.
Today I realized that everything is not as it seem.
You decieved me and my trust,
and used me for what I had, and what I was going to become.
You made me think that I was special, but didn't believe it yourself.
Today I realized that I should always have my guard up,
I should shield myself from the pain that everyone causes me,
because it's just too hard,
everyday is a battle, everyday is a struggle, and to make it thorough I have to put up defenses.
I should keep my heart and soul locked up away from prying eyes, and away from people who want to damage them.
Today I learned about real life
You have those people that are cruel,
The one's that hurt you and make you feel small,
and the one's that laugh along with them and ignore you and the comment
You have the people who look at you like they're so much better,
like they have authority,
As though they are the teacher and you are a C- Student. Read more »

Nothing at All
Submitted by SingingSigrid on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 8:15pmthis is a piece of a poem thats kinda been floating around in my head but refusing to be formed for a while, and then it came to a head a few days ago. but i still can't write it!! i think maybe its a song.
I'm wondering why mountains must crumble.
Why wishes pinned to stars must tumble.
Why raindrops fall.
Cuz I've seen everything,
But with in my arms,
I've seen nothing at all.
My Perfect Vacation
Submitted by juliar on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 7:19pmFor me vacation isn't time to relax
It's a time to see new places and over pack
To have fun
And go somewhere with constant sun
I'm not a big fan of the beach
But maybe an amusement park were I can let loose and screech
Or a tropical cruise
A vacation that I can choose
Something hot yet cool
Somewhere with a big pool
Maybe Florida
Or the south of Georgia
The perfect vacation
With no complications
Just me and my family
Having fun
Wishing for the vacation to never be done.

No More Silence Announcement
Submitted by Dark Shadow on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 6:42pmI still want to gather everyones experiences with bullying whether that was as a bully yourself (And you learned a lesson), a bystander, or a survivor.

It can be anonymous or say who the author was, its up to you. Please do this and once you have, message me and post it so I can gather it all. Thank you so muh ♥ No More Silence
“I just had to write to you in regard to your item ‘Target’s that appeared in today’s (March 8) Inquirer,” wrote Ray Windsor of Lansdowne. I received several letters about that piece which concerned girl I knew in high school who was the victim of cruel and unrelenting ridicule because she was unattractive, uncool and unable to defend herself. That piece touched a chord in people, and I think Ray’s story will, too. Here it is.
“Back in high school I had to contend with many of the malicious deeds and taunts from my ‘fellow students,’ similar but different. With me, however, I was a victim of gross physical immaturity…I actually didn’t start shaving regularly until I was 25 or so. Read more »

Addie
Submitted by angela weasly on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 6:37pmSometimes she sits in the chair,
staring into the complexity of life from an observers point of view.
Her hair grasps her head in short waves,
her fingers riddled with change.
Her eyes a light twinkling blue.
She smells of things that comfort us,
Her arms envelop us in a hug,
made of love and caring.
She sits,
understanding,
every particle that was placed.
She tells us of boxes,
that have not limeted her,
but have made her wiser.
her love can follow you,
her love can make you live,
She is amazing,
She is blazing,
She is Addie.

I'm standing before the the start line,
Suddenly feeling the jitters.
"Runners, take your mark!"
I step foward, poised for the to lunge.
BANG!
The gun goes off,
All the runners launch themselves foward,
And the race begins.
I weave in and out of a massive clump Read more »

Heavenly angels chapter five
Submitted by The doctor on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 5:19pmThe women sighed. " First of all your an angel." I looked at her wings then at my wing. " and I am in heaven where all of the angels live? " I asked. The women nodded her head. " by the way you handled that demon I would say that your a wirorer angel" she looked at me. I urged her to go on. " that demon was only a mesnger. The one that was cony trolling him probly took your mother." " that's it?" I asked. She nodded her head. " I will let you get dressed I will send someone to tack you to the weapons room." she said. " what is your name? " I asked the women before she left the room. " my name is shankera." she answered.
I was in a golden hall way being gided by a young girl to a weapons room. I was whereing a tank- top with angel wings on it. I also had on sorts on with Skechers. Think that it would be heaven that everyone should have robes on but no, everyone dressed normally. When I got to the weapons room the girl left me in the room. I saw shankera in the room with body armer that fit her perfectly. " now" she said " every worrer must pick here weapon of choice. " she said waving her hand At the weapons rack. I looked at the weapons rack. Then something called to me. There was a pare of daggers. They had swirly ingravings laded into the steel hanle. The blades looked as though they could slice through flesh like butter. I pouited at the daggers. " I chose thes. " I said.
Realm of Kreasoh, Chapter 1

“Fiona! Fiona!” My eyes flashed open. “Fio--” Sorif stopped in my doorway, just realizing I didn’t get up as early as him. He looked down, ashamed. “Remember yesterday?” He continued, almost in a whisper. “You promised you would throw the frisbee with me.” I sighed. I had said that I would but I hadn’t meant this early. Sorif had been given a new frisbee for his birthday. I pulled up the sleeve of my night gown where my watch was still strapped around my wrist. It had been so late by the time I got to bed last night I forgot to take it off. The morning light was dim, and I had to press the light on my watch: 7:45 AM. It was still pretty early but I was already awake so...
“Why don’t you go get the frisbee while I get dressed.” Sorif smiled, face radiating happiness, and skipped out of my room. I slid out of bed and dressed. Read more »

Take Me
Submitted by DancingBanana on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 2:54pmI wish I had never let you get so close to me.
I'm at this point where you envelope into me and take my breath away to this day even after so many dawns.
Oh my aching bones feel all this weight. I'm holding both of us because I know on the surface this is all an act.
A simple mind game we play tweaked by jokes and immaturity. Simple harmonies and unknown velocities swallow me. I can't hold on much longer.
Take me please, let me be free.
I wish I never replied.
I'm at a place where not responding to you means losing you word by word. Read more »
