Scar TissueI don’t know what I hated more: myself, or the fact that my crying woke him up. It couldn’t be later than two in the morning, I had woken up from another nightmare and I found myself huddled in the same spot I always went to in times like these: the bathtub.
It was a bad habit I got myself into since childhood, but the coldness of the tub gave me a comfort most things couldn’t. I had been good about keeping my pain hidden from the rest of the world, but by night it came crawling back to me in the form of dreams and flashes of guilt.
The tears would come before I could stop them and I always found myself in this tub. He never knew, and I never told him. What was the point? I’m a girl stuck in reverse who can’t seem to let go of yesterday and take in the joys of tomorrow. My whole life was like a damaged tape, repeating itself when it shouldn’t and having a hard time moving forward. I always could repress my sobs, and I wondered if I was louder than I
A beautiful re-telling of a powerful moment where
love proves that a human being can survive anything.

5th Orchestra ViolinistSlowly the strings ache out that soft sound that lulls us into a comfortable place. Then a build, quick and haunting; throwing everything you just felt away and replacing it with fear and suspense. You wait for the finish for it to hit you, you brace for the worst and then it stops. Suddenly without warning you are brought to a place of sheer light and atmosphere. It is pure and you feel at ease, like you have arrived in heaven or a place similar. You walk down the halls of white and it becomes brighter and brighter until the door opens and you step out and fall. The thought vanishes and your hope breaks. You fall from the perched white and your heart fades. You realize you are back in your seat and no longer in your dream. You stare down at the fifth chair violinist,  who is slowly pulling his bow across his strings in an attempt to lull you back into your dream. You can not go back for you know the lie, and can never see the white again. The violinist glances up and you swear it

An imaginative and descriptive second person
narrative to lull you into dreams of music and wonder.


Foreign Language

A metaphorical love poem. Dahlias become personified,
spreading love and happiness between
two beings. Deep and inspiring read.
