The season of winter, such a beautiful sight.
The season of winter provides such a light.
The season of winter with all of its snow.
All of the snow that glows and glows, against
the beautiful winter sun, the snow is far from shun.
as and
it falls
falls and
and falls
falls down
down
down
to all of the people this winter season.
Have a beautiful winter.

I felt paste in
my mouth. I
knew right away

I ran faster than I could
Blink. I grabbed napkins and started
washing out my mouth.

It felt disgusting. My mouth felt as If I was
eating bark directly off a tree
like corn on the cob.
It had to be done

I felt the peanut butter holding on to
my tongue. Why wont it come out!
I couldn’t breath,
I washed and washed and washed!
I felt my face slowly losing
Feeling, and submitting to the numbness

It took forever, but the peanut
butter finally washed away.

I then realized why they
have the rule:
NO SHARING FOOD

The boiling blazing burning
hot Californian summer
at 6 Flags Magic Mountain
as we waited in
line all day
with no water.
Taking turns running in
and out of the line
frantically finding vending
machines just to see
that they didn’t work.
My throat as sun baked
as a desert,
as dehydrated as
lake in a drought.

Thinking,
Should we stay in line and
waste all the hours we
had stood in line just to get water
or should we wait to get water after the ride?

We decided to stay and wait.
Eventually arriving to
the front of
the line after hours.
Full of joy,
we hopped in and
buckled ourselves
into the float
excited to get soaked in the water,
to be refreshed,
to finally cool down.

Spinning around in
the circular float,
air blowing past my face.
We zapped around a corner,
maybe one or two drops of
water on me.
Patiently waiting for just an
ounce of refreshment.
After about
30 seconds it was already over.

Walking down the hill,
disappointment painted all
over our faces.

In my dog’s bed
Luna goes
to sleep finding the
perfect position getting
under the blanket
laying
her head
down
then lay’s
on her back
slowly looks like
she is going to die
finally falls asleep in
her bed

the heat of the blazing sun

the sight of seagulls taking off, so fun

the smell of salt water and sunscreen in the breeze

the taste and touch of sticky-sweet popsicles, brainfreeze

the feeling of sand in your sandals, hands in the pockets of my flannel.

i thought ”I never want to leave here.”

i wanted to stay forever at Galveston pier.

i remember running back in the rain

rough, ridged, rocks

soaking-wet socks

The years turn to days,
days to minutes.
No time in space,
but on Earth, limits.

The seasons are fast,
and you realize,
life doesn’t last,
as you fly to the skies.

We are forlorn,
Simply candles that burn.
We mourn,
no matter people turn,
to memories.

And memories are forgotten,
never revived.
they are buried as corpses,
shriveled.

Everything ends,
even memories.
Do what you will with that.

My face goes numb,
My stomach dropping like a
Neverending rollercoaster,
waiting to reach its end.

Had it already been 13 years?

You don’t notice how
much more time you
wish you had with the pet
you’ve loved,
till they’re actually gone.
Like, gone gone.

The room was silent,
too silent.
I had been prepared,
But not prepared at the same time.
Kinda like when you didn’t
study for a test,
But your still shocked you failed.

My moms eyes glossy and red.
Her nose pink and shiny as if it was December already.
But it wasn’t.
It was May 11th.
STARR testing had just finished.

I come home and
see my parents in the kitchen,
still trying to comprehend how
they were gonna tell me the news.

“She lived a good life.”
“We are all going to miss her.”
“Just think of the happy memories.”

No no no no no. Not now.

Still frozen like a statue,
I accepted the fact,
Shes gone.

My first
Broken bone

Was when we got
our brand new trampoline.

I was jumping by myself
when my brother decided to join.

We jumped together,
having the time of our lives.
Not knowing he would bounce
too high and fly me
into the air.

I landed on the side
of my leg and *crack*!

I cried.
My eyes hurt so bad
they leaked with sadness,
pouring out the pain and sorrow.
My stomach throbbed
from the agonizing torment
I was putting on myself.

My parents didn’t know
what to do.
It was the most
massive, bulky, gross, purple lump
ever seen on the face of the earth.

They took me to the ER.
My leg was tingling.
Am I going to be ok?
Will the pain ever go away,
I thought to myself.

Closed

I went home and forced myself to sleep
into the everlasting dark hole of doom.

I was feeling full
With a bad stomach ache.
Of course my dad
It made me eat more dessert
Usually, he hates it
When I have dessert.
My stomach went into an even and deeper
Pain than it already was.

I went to the bathroom and
I was in so much pain, I even
Tried to throw up.
Nothing was seeming
To even come close to working.
After, we got up
I threw up instantly
Dark chocolate.

My stomach instantly felt
Relief but I saw super
slick slimy layers of chocolate
Shaded from light to
Dark brown.

It smelled like a dry
Desert but it looked
Like a volcano of chocolate.
Embarrassment showed as I
I hoped everyone wasn’t watching I realized my
Mom’s best friend was there.
She was my favorite at the time.
I hope I don’t cry.
I thought to myself.
Luckily I didn’t but I ended
Up exiting with a bad taste
In my mouth.

He just won’t stay calm
I can see his clenched up palm
As mom scolded him.

“Go clean up your room!”
He just stood there wondering,
This is so not fair.
