"The Nameless Pain"
//by Charlotte McLinden// How long have I waited for this pain to pass Sharp as a needle and cutting like glass It lies in my bones and drives me to tears, Turning my minutes and hours to years.

There is no cure and it has no name; My joy turns to sorrow and my happiness to shame, For the pain that never leaves, it laughs in my face, My victories are few and usually end in disgrace.

It follows me, relentless and grim, Laughing at my own endurance that is spread thin; It tears at my back and snaps at my legs, No matter how loudly or sadly I beg.

It stalks me and watches, never once leaving Whether or not I am hoping, believing That it would just go. Run away, run away! It resides in my belly and it aches everyday.

What does it want? A believer? A home? Or does it just enjoy my every groan? What would satisfy it? What would repel it? I wish I knew some way to dispel it.

There is no hope, as of now there is no light. The unnamed attacker attacks me each night And causes me to suffer again and again If I ended my life, would the pain still pertain?

Would I finally be free of this tormenting foe Whose name and purpose I don’t even know? Or is there yet hope for a lost one like me? Some way to fight it and finally be free?

Can anyone else name it? Does any one know The source of this pain or what makes it go So that I may rest? Or am I sentenced To suffer and let it consume my every ounce of independence? media type="file" key="Nameless Pain Charlotte.m4a" width="300" height="50"

"Escape Reality"
//by: Maggie Balistreri// A whole new world, What better way to escape reality? A new life to be unfurled We do not need practicality

Open up a book, read a bit more. media type="file" key="Escaping Reality Maggie.m4a" width="300" height="50"

"The World Still Spins"
//by: Kellen// The world still spins when the evil man wins The world still spins when the good man dies The world still spins when the little girl cries The world still spins when we speak our sins The world still spins when bombs fall from the sky The world still spins when the politicians lie The world still spins when our demons fester within The world still spins when the bullets still fly The world still spins when the casualties survive The world still spins when the world breaks on him media type="file" key="The World Still Spins Kellen.mp3" width="240" height="20"

"4th of July:
//by: Juan Olmos-Garcia// The water, really calm like a small baby the sun setting over the horizon everywhere people happily waiting. The sun has set and everyone is waiting for the fist bang.

"The Monster Inside"
//by: Aianna May// There’s something growing inside of me It’s alive, but it’s invisible.

You may not be able to see it But I can feel it

The feeling of the living thing Travels through my veins It corrupts my blood stream and interrupts my brain

Sometimes I feel like it disappears But then it assures me it’s there. I then understand that it won’t be leaving The growing thing is there to stay.

Most people don’t understand They don’t realize I have little control I’ve been taken over from what’s inside of me, The living thing has taken my soul.

It almost feels like my heart isn’t there like the growing think took over that, too But then the panic arises And the faint pounding reminds me it’s not true.

My body feeling empty, My soul is gone, My head is barely there, My reality soon became a nightmare.

The thing inside of me has taken my my train of thought. It’s taken all the things I know No matter how far I look inside, The only thought thats left is “Leave my side.”

There’s something growing inside of me It’s taken over who I once thought as me There’s barely anything left of me Because of the living thing inside of me.

It has full control It has taken my life It has hurt me so many times

I hear all the whispers I know what they mean, “There’s definitely something wrong with her.”

Something has taken over me, That something is a monster. media type="file" key="Aianna The Monster Inside.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Cutting
//by: Priscilla Reyes// I feel no pain I feel nothing They don’t care if I’m dead They don’t care if I go missing
