"Untitled" by Amelia Tisk

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.

"The Evolution of J" by Anonymous

Stemming from being most hated to most loved uttering nothing but pain and destruction by the sound of her lips to speaking nothing other than life into others Burning bridges and getting hurt, never fearing the consequences Always learning from your mistakes because that's the only way you knew how to grow Fighting to stay alive through all the trials and obstacles You almost gave up until your 3 reasons to live came to save your life I have been blessed to interact with a lot of great people in my life but none can compare to you The presence you have in a room to command attention, your ability to vibrate your lips at a speed where sound penetrates the air and people stop to listen, or the confidence you carr...
