  • I Promise You

    I promise you I care

    This I know for sure.

    I promise you I’m here

    Just maybe not to stay.

    I promise you I’m fine

    Just in my own way.

    I promise you I’m trying

    I swear I always have been.

  • Poetry

    By A.R

    Silent Thoughts

    To be chosen. 
     

    That's all I wish for—to be someone's first choice. 

    I watch from afar, lost in a sea of the bittersweet feeling 

    As others are always chosen first, but never me, 

  • the pin

    i roll off from the table

    landing in a box filled with hay

    finally, i think

    i’ve found my rightful place

    then i look around

    the strings of hay

    entangling themselves 

    i bend myself to fit them

  • relentless

    a dream, swirling in my tired mind, a sequence of letters makes a word.

    my brain aches, an onslaught of countless words and numbers.

    Get up, grasp the dream, make it out.

    Get up, identify it!

    Get up!

    Get up!

  • Teenhood

    There should be a word

    For ages thirteen through seventeen.

    There should be a word

    Like childhood or adulthood

    That describes

    Being a teenager.

    Adolescence is one, yes

    But it doesn't fit.
