"There's Always An Issue" by Anonymous

There’s always an issue

It’s on a schedule, 

like the trains passing periodically; Routine.

Passing out way too frequently 

Nothings working with me

It’s fine, it happens all the time

So I’ll just leave


Peddling the wheels

Fast enough to make my chain come loose 

I reach the secret path, my soles touch dirt

Tucking my bike behind a bush,

Greeting the wildlife living in the trees

It’s only the polite thing to do

Hoping the maintenance workers are off today

If not I’ll have to greet them too


Tranquility in the Abandoned,

Ambiance in being Alone.


Smoke strings upward, gone within seconds

Without a trace, disintegrating into the air 

The sun disappears creating an indigo hue

My problems seem to disappear as well

“They're On The Front Lines, So You Can Enjoy Your TikTok Times” by Jasmine Wren

Out there every day saving lives From little children to husbands and wives, Out there on the front lines,  Just trying to push through these hard times. New graduates running straight to hospital  Providing services that are vital, Young and old each taking a turn, Working so long, till their eyes burn Some are mothers and fathers  Hoping they don't endanger their sons and daughter Fearful for their lives and others  Standing up to ignorant protesters Bruises all around their face  Yet they still work another case Grateful for all they do  Constantly working to save me and you

I’ve always felt so alone No one to love, no place to call home My heart had grown cold Because the people I loved liked to come and go. So I closed myself off I did not want to be hurt Until he showed me the warmth I craved, And soon after my heart was enslaved To the man I grew to love His crooked smile swept me off my feet Which was hard for others to compete, And as I laid in his arms For once I felt complete Was this what I was missing? A sense of security? A sense of safety? No longer was I reminiscing About the ills done before I finally felt like I belonged I felt like I was home Who would have thought a scrawny boy could change so much I am no longer alone I have someone to love, someone who is my home Now my heart is full and warm Because the person I love won’t come and go.
