Teenagers

Teeth,
Claws,
Nails.
Sharpened to a point.Ripping,
Shredding,
Destroying.
Leaving not a scrapOf Comfort,
Joy,
Connection 
In relationships. Fear the gossip,
Fear the drama,
Fear each other.
Tendency to hate
Evil, pure evil
Envious
Narrow minded
Angry at everyone and everything
Gaping mouths
Easily threatened 
Ready to fight
Spiteful till the end.

    By Whitney

    Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
