Small samples and chunks of amazing writing from my peers

By Tiffany Latshaw


You say I don't understand,
Baby, I love you,
Both are lies,
Everything from your mouth is a lie,
I lie too,
But not the way you do,
The way I told you that I hated you,
I didn't mean it,


By Cheyenne Stewart


I'm thankful for your arms
That hold me when I'm sad
I'm thankful for your laugh
It makes me glad
I'm thankful for your kisses
I really miss it
I'm thankful for your touch
I love you so much
By Harley Super
I Did
"I'm sorry" will never be enough.
I don't care if you're my best man, best friend, or brother.
"I'm sorry" just won't work.
She's the love of my life.
The bond of brothers should be as sacred,
As that of marriage. 
Yet, neither seem to hold their truths.
You just punched me in the stomach, and spit on my face.
You just kicked me in the knee cap, and shoved me to the ground.
You just ripped my heart out of my chest, and threw it in the trash.
Did you know we planned on waiting?
Till we were married.
We dated for seven years.
Seven.
You're worth the dirt on the bottom of my shoes.
Your words have taken hold of my life, and ripped it into pieces.
God, I loved her.
I hate you.
You waited this long.
This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.
I never want to see you again.
Hear you again.
Think of you again. 
I'm done with you.
Done.

By Chaz Nobel
Like Clockwork
What is a human
Without good or evil will?
Choices define us
Without them we lose ourselves
Become so many machines

By Jessica Houston

Chalk
Sidewalk chalk means endless creation
The road is my own black canvass
Painted with calming pastels
Brings opportunity
To express yourself
Until it rains
And leaves a 
Tie-dye
trail
