"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...

"Covid Thoughts" by Anonymous

It’s interesting being a senior in high school during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a time of great uncertainty. Something no one can control. Sure, the President of the United States, the Governor of NY, and even local politicians have put in policies to help fight the spread of coronavirus, however, it’s inevitable. The Kansas Governor has suspended the school year for all high school students, does that mean NY could be announcing a similar directive in the near future? The prom and graduation we’ve been looking forward to for our entire educational careers. It’s not fair. As President of the Class of 2020, I feel powerless, I try to keep the class informed, but there is only so much I can tell them. Why? Because I don’t know, I don’t think anyone does. I do know that school administrators are not worried about prom or graduation, they’re worried about handing out chromebooks, setting up wifi hotspots, and feeding children that qualify for free or reduced lunch. I completely understa...

"I’m Stressed" by DeAsia McCorvey

I’m stressed  The month of May has just begun One thing after the next thing is flung into the mix I don’t have time to dwell, only to progress I have to assess each step  The overdramatic feeling of everything being ruined has long passed The next chapter is coming, and coming fast The past feel so far, and the future too near  I’m not ready, I fear School hasn’t prepared me well enough to go from teen to young adult in the course of 2 months  I feel like a lamb to slaughter, unprepared and unaware The best year has turned into our worst year  I’m questioning if where I’m going is right  Despite never having doubts before  Cold feet, and sweaty palms  These qualms are heavier than imagined These qualms make my brain overactive when I’m suppose to be inactive  These qualms cause hot flashes of anxiety  These qualms make mood shoot south when dwelling too much  I would have never predicted how much I would struggle as a senior  ...
