When I was in high school, I was always in bed at a decent time of the night, though I wasn't bound by any formal curfew. I was a good student, and school started at 7:50 am. I had to be up and ready, . . . more

We just moved. I am planning on starting school in the fall, which is around the end of August. It's an online Master's program. However, I would still like a job. I could probably do a part time . . . more

It's tough getting back into the swing of things in city life, and I don't adjust to change well.
For the last ten months, my boyfriend and I lived in a very small town. There . . . more

Tears falling
in an ocean of blue ink.
I'm drowning in my head.
Arms flailing,
splashing words on these pages,
but nothing I have said.
Pulled under,

between birth and undefined lives
written across misery's blind, blank eye.
Life is found in divinity . . . more

I sat in the dark
eating stale cereal
from a Tupperware container
with a fork
because every other dish
in the house was dirty.
And I don't even like cereal.

She needed damaged dreams
to be repaired, so crane prayers
lifted metal spirits higher
until the storm slammed
into downtown events
as below, on Thirteenth Avenue,
due to rush hour traffic,

Okay, so if you read my last article about Respect, you know that I have been having some issues with students who vandalize my house in "innocent" yet annoying ways.

When it comes to many things in life, sometimes even the little things, I tend to have an inability to make decisions. It’s movies like The Butterfly Effect that emphasize the importance that . . . more

Wrapped in your oversized hoody
with my head on your chest,
I felt the planets align and the stars
shone brighter than they had in years
and I signed in utter contentment.
But dread draped . . . more

Well, nightmares have become a nightly ritual in my head, and have been typical for years. I have no idea why. Sometimes I have nightmares that I’ve been having since I was a little kid. Sometimes they . . . more

He likes to read me
run his fingers
across the lines
of my remains...feminine
curve of delicate
thought
he likes to think
he's trapped breath
in stalled stanzas—
unfinished as dreams— . . . more

amount of peaceful quiet.
Stillness and softness and security abide
in a blocked-out hole in time.
I sit and I write; and while I pause,
truth is captured in the . . . more

entrance and exit
to two completely
different worlds.
The cement slabs
are the gateway
separating one
from the other.

Okay, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you may want to go back and read my last two articles with "Respect" as part of the title.

Today was my last day of my first year teaching. It was a short day, and I only had three classes, each about 25 minutes long. It was an up and down morning, for sure.
We had a staff meeting . . . more
