Everything Is What It Is

Words are Words,
They hurt from time to time.

Minds are Minds,
They think and overthink.

Eyes are Eyes,
They see through lies.

Sighs are Sighs,
They feel like bad highs.

Friends are Friends,
They stab you and go.

Knives are Knives,
They hurt no less.

Cuts are Cuts,
They scar and tear.

Tears are Tears,
They feel no fears.

Chapter 1: Who?

Ring, Ring, Ring!

“Ahh finally the bell!” I said packing up my things and leaving English. “Now I can go to the mall with my friends and just chill.”
“Hey A! Ready for our Friday night girls out chill and relax night?” My friend Tina said running out of breath.
“First of all, we need to think of a better and shorter name for our girls night. And second of all, yes I am. It will be nice to get away from all the stress of school and just relax.” I said to Tina just as my other friend Hailey walked up to us.
“Are you guys ready for…” She started to say.
“Yes!” Tina and I both yelled.
“Wow! That excited?” Hailey asked.
“Yeah I am excited but I just wanted to stop you so you didn't have to say the whole entire name.” I said.
“Oh yeah. We should probably think of a better name.” Hailey said back.
“Yep.” I said.
We were walking out of school and going to the crosswalk when all of the sudden a boy with brown hair and green eyes came running up to me and said, “Abby! Its you its really you! I can't believe it! I thought I lost you forever! It took me forever to find you. But I don't understand, why you would hide in a school?”
“Umm...do you know this boy?” Tina asked.
“No, I don’t.” I said noticing his face changing when I said that.
“What do you mean?” He asked looking sad and confused now.
“I am sorry, but you must have the wrong person. I don’t know you.” I said.
“But you do. You and I...why don’t you remember?” He asked pleading to me to remember.
“Look I don’t know who you are, but my friends and I are going to go.” I said to him wondering if he was delusional.
“But you can’t I just…” He started to say but was interrupted.
“Look! She said to back off! So leave her alone!” Hailey yelled.
And with that Hailey dragged us across the crosswalk and to the other side of the street. I looked back just to see if he was still there and he was. I looked in his eyes and could see the hurt inside of him. I don’t know why he thinks he knows me but he must be confused.
“Thanks Hailey! I am glad to have you as my friend.” I said to her.
“Your welcome! I am just glad to be there for you to help fight against boys like that. He sounded really desperate. Probably just wanted something from you.” Hailey said to me.
“Yeah probably.” I said feeling uneasy about him.

When I Do Anything

When I hear your name,
I wonder how you are.

When I feel my heart thump,
I remember how I felt.

When my mind wanders,
It always wanders to you.

When my eyes water,
It's because of what you did.

When tears stain my face,
I remember how much it hurt.

When I look at everything,
I remember everything about us.
 
When my mind says 'why?',
I have no reply.

When my heart stops crying for you,
It will be too soon.

Talk About Me

I told you I liked you.
You just laughed in my face.

I walk down the hall and 
I hear you whisper my name. 

You point and watch me pass,
Like rain on a stormy day.

But I'm okay with it, 
It only means I'm in your head. 

I am the thoughts you think,
I am the things you hear about.

I'm around you 24/7, 
Don't blame me, 
You are the only one in this game.

I'm over you and your games...

Sweet and Salty

Your lips were like
butter. Your hands
were strong like
steel. Your warmth
was like the sunshine
on my skin. Your
embrace was reassuring
like a dad comforts his
daughter. Your eyes
were beautiful like a
warm spring day. I on
the other hand. I was
like a cold wave crashing
on the rocky shore.

Silence of Wealth

Hush.

Do not speak, for
they will slice our
tongue and rejoice
with cups of wine and
wealthy bread.

Do not speak, for
our voice is not ours.
They'll wrap their fingers
studded with gold, spill
our blood and smile.

Feelings

Love is like a bug.
It never goes away.
It fades little by little.

Though it's never really gone.
You don't want it to choose you.
Choose to land on you like a fly.

You catch it like a fire fly.
Glowing and radiant.
Soon enough it is just gone.

Secret Cupid: Prom Queen & King - Part 2

So Zack has been writing to me for two weeks trying to ask me things about this girl he likes. I have wrote back once or twice but it's hard when you like him. But that's what I get for opening up my heart.  Doesn’t matter now, prom is tonight and I am going alone. I wouldn’t be going if Emma hadn’t made me promise. Now I have to spend my day at school with everyone talking about prom.
As I was getting books from my locker Zack came up to me and said, “Hey Abby.”
“Hey Zack.” I said back.
“So I was…” He started to say but I cut him off.
“I am glad your going with Rachel. You guys are a good match. I know everyone will be voting for you two as King and Queen.” I said trying not to sound sad.
“Well, I haven’t asked her I…” He started.
“Well you should. I know it can be scary but just follow your heart. Let it speak for you.” I said. I heard him starting to say something but I walked away. I couldn’t let him see my face.

Prom Night


“You ready?" Emma said before we walked into the doors of the gym.
“I guess.” I said.
“Umm, Peter could you give us a minute?” Emma said to her prom date Peter.
“Sure.” He said walking off.
“You can do this. You look beautiful.” She said pointing at my light blue, short, no sleeves, with sequins at the top, dress.
“Thanks.” I said.
“Just go in and have fun.” Emma said.
After that she went to go find Peter while I walked in by myself. The gym was decorated in laces and banners of all kinds of light colors. There was pink, blue, green, and many more colors. It was beautiful. Over on the dance floor I could see Zack and Rachel dancing together. He was in a tux while she was wearing a purple gown. They looked nice together.
“Okay everyone! It's time to announce your prom king and queen!” Our teacher said while the whole school was shouting for joy.
Opening up the envelope our teacher read out our queen, “Our new queen is... Rachel!” Everyone applauded and then went silent to see who the king would be. “And our new king is... Zack!” She said after opening the envelope. Everyone cheered and applauded.
He went up to except his crown while Rachel kissed him on the cheek. Everyone knew they were the perfect couple.
While this was going on one of Zack’s friends said, “Congrats buddy on the crown and your girl.” For some reason Zack’s face wasn’t smiling anymore.
“Wait! I would like to make a speech if that's okay.” Zack said.
“Of course!” Our teacher said handing him the microphone.
“I am the captain of the basketball team,” He started while his team cheered. “some people could say I am popular. And before tonight I cared about what you all thought of me and I cared about that title. But tonight I realized that it doesn’t matter.” He continued then stared at me. “I don’t need your approval to like who I like. Because to be honest, my heart is telling me that I want someone else. Abby can you come up here?” He asked staring at me. While I was making my way up, I could see that all eyes are on me.
“Zack what are you doing?” I asked when I got up here.
“Abby, will you be my date to the prom?” He asked.
“Zack!” I said surprised. “Yes!”
“Great!” He said looking happy again. “And Rachel I am sorry but my heart belongs to her."
“But..” She started to say but then ran off.
“Do you want to dance?” He asked me when he noticed the slow dance music coming on.
“Sure.” I said. When I got on the dance floor I saw Emma giving me the thumbs up.
“You know that advice with following my heart was good advise... Secret Cupid.” He whispered to me.
“What how did you…” I started to say.
“I just knew I guess.” He said.
“Sorry about not really writing back. I was going to but I just couldn’t you see. I liked you but I thought you liked Rachel and then…” I started to babble but then was stopped by Zack's lips.
“How was that?” He asked pulling back from the kiss smiling.
“Perfect.” I said leaning in for another kiss.

Cigarette Smoke

 The way you breathe me in,
 it's a type of pain you don't realize until it's over,
one time and you addicted to me.

I'm slowly killing you but you say it feels so good.
I'm the one who controls your whole life with only one buzz, 
so light me up like your cigarette 
and breathe the smoke in.

I'm always on your mind, 
no matter where you go, 
you love the hurt it gives you, 
not long before you start to feel the pain,
then every time you see me you won't be 
able to breathe.
I'm slowly killing you but you say, 
it feels so good, I'm the one who controls your whole life with only one buzz,
so light me up like your cigarette and breathe the smoke in.

Addiction, yes I'm your addiction, 
one hit and you crave my smoke, 
but it's too dangerous, yet you still breathe
me in? I should come with a warning sign. 

I'm slowly killing you but you say it feels
so good, I'm the one who controls your whole life with only one buzz,
so light me up like your 
cigarette and breathe the smoke in.

Oh I'm painless, so painless. 
Yet I'm painful, so fuckin' painful.
Oh I'm painless, so painless.
Yet I'm painful, so fuckin' painful.

Genius

No one is born a genius.
Yes! That is what I believe! 
That is what I know! That is what I have seen!
Creativity is born everytime, everywhere, in everyone.
It takes a spark, or a blur, to bring to life or destroy your creative genius.
The moment a cause and a push helps you realize the genius within.
There would be a manifestation of frenzy to continue, then a genius is born.
Geniuses are made. Geniuses are destroyed.
For some it takes that push to realize the monster within.
For some it takes a monster.

A Life in Danger - Part 3

     "I'm sorry I did not mean to walk in on you. Again, I'm sorry." The doctor said as he walked in.
     “No, don’t say you're sorry, he has a gun. Help me please!” I said. 
     “Stop, please put the gun down.” The doctor said. 
     “Don’t tell me what to do!” Tyler shouted. “Also don’t tell me to put the gun down. I don’t need to put this gun down. I have a right to have a gun and no one will tell me to put the gun down.” Tyler said as he waved the gun around at us.  
     “It’s ok, just please stop waving the gun around.” The doctor said to Tyler. 
     Then I slowly started to bend down and crawled on the ground. Tyler did not see me yet, but  I know he will soon. I must move fast so he won't see me. I looked back, and Tyler was still waving the gun around. I was at the door now, so I slowly open the door. The door started to creak then Tyler look at the door looking up at the top of the door. That is when I squeezed between the door's opening and I ran. Then Tyler looked down at the bottom of the door. 
    “The door was not open when you came in.” Tyler said to the doctor.
    “Yes, the door was open.” The doctor said. 
    “No, it was not.” Tyler argued
    Then Tyler looked around, “Where is Paul?” Tyler said. (I am Paul, telling the story, if you didn’t know that).
    I ran as fast as I could, I didn’t look back once. I did not want to get shot by Tyler. While I was running I ran into a woman that was so nice that she even asks if I was okay.
    “No, I’m not okay. There is a man that has a gun and he is trying to kill me.” I said. 
    Then I stop to tell her, “The man’s name is Tyler, he looks about 21 years old with black hair and green/gray eyes and he also has basketball shoes on.”
    I looked over her arm and I saw him coming for me, I turned around and started running again. I didn’t stop for anything  or anyone after that.

Crazy

Love's crazy and unpredictable like
a geny. You feel pain, hurt, anger.
But you feel affection too. But the
crazy ends in death and a broken
heart.

You want me back? Not
a chance. You want my
heart? You had it, you
broke it. You want my love?
You'll never have it again...

Mixed Emotions

When I was cold, I'd hug
you. When I was sad, I'd
lay and talk with you. When
I was mad, I'd look in your
eyes. But now I can't. I'm
freezing. I'm sad. I'm mad.
And most of all... I miss you.

Let Go

Flowers in the wind. Blown
and tossed around. Vulnerable
and hurt. But you held on. You
refused to let me go. You
wouldn't let me fly.
