The Unreachable
My hands reach out, yet fall too short. My heart takes a leap, but is betrayed. I lean to grasp my chance, but feel defeated as I watch others push through me to get to the finish line. I fall back, into the middle. No longer above average. Experience, skill, stamina, and brains pass me in the race, smirking at me mocking me. I try and try, and try. I am expected to be up there ahead of others above average. I am compared with Them. And that comparison steals my joy and my hope. Yet I still try and try to reach the light I probably will never …
Emotions
Pain. Pain shoots through me Like an electric shock. Tears flow out of my eyes, Making them red. Those tears of pain, Soon turn into agony. Anger overcomes the hurt. Anger starts to lead. I start to blame The people around me. I yell up to the sky, “Why me!” I carry a heart full of regret. And shut the people I love out. My mind wanders And my anger slowly Resolves. Leaving me alone Alone by myself In a dark corner Left to ponder About what I did. I argue with myself One voice proves What I did was justified. The other voice says no. Pai…
Goodbye
Saying goodbye, The moment I dread Now stares me in the face Daring and taunting me. I’m not ready. I’m can’t do it. I can’t leave. My only response; Tears. Tears welling up in my eyes, I’m afraid if I cry, They will too. I hold it back. For one day. One night. Then I couldn’t. Two months Flew by. It wasn’t enough. It is never enough. I am rope. Being tugged by India And America. I have no choice. I have something Someone Waiting for me there. But they on the other hand Have nothing to go back to. I collapsed. The tears I tried To hold…
Trip to San Antonio
The car raced down the highway. Two heads leaned over and fitted their heads perfectly onto my shoulder. I kicked my shoes off, patted my sisters' legs, and stared out the window. I saw many trees; each one staying behind as we kept moving forward. The scenery soon blurred and my mind wafted to the very first day of our vacation. Day 1: An eye-blinding light shone throughout the room and I immediately woke up. My mom had turned on the light; an amazing strategy to wake me up. I strolled to the restroom and got ready. I came outsi…
Being underwater 🌊
My eyes feel a sudden dash of freshness and a pinch of coolness. My body completely relaxes and eases. I feel a new sense of peace, and comfort, Knowing that what happens up there, is separated from the soft caress of the water. Under the water, it is neither silent, nor loud. The mini waves and ripples, make it so that the silence is not unbearable. It doesn't have the screaming, nor the shouting. And when you lift your head up from the water, you can truly feel the change from being stresses or stiff, to chill and relaxed. Staying under …
The red apple 🍎
Snow White’s view: Crunch. Teeth clash with each other, The juiciness trickles down, My vision blurs, Only letting me see the red. My legs no longer hold me, As I faint to the cold ground. A dark shadow looms over, My crouched body. An ear splitting cackle, Sinister and wicked. My eyelids fall heavily, On my white cheeks. Strength leaks out of me. Something like a magnet, Pulls my energy and hope away. The last bit of faith drains. My hands falls beside me, The red apple rolls off. I regret calling in the old lady, And biting the red apple. Th…
My thoughts 💭
My brain registers the word, My heart skips a beat. My lungs take a deep breath, My stomach churns. My eyes see the battle field, Lying in ruins. Pain oozes through me, Soreness over comes me. My friends lie, Gasping for air, My enemy still stands, Stronger than ever. Every hero has a flaw, Mine is loyalty. A huge decision must be made, For I am now 16. The Great Prophecy, Now underway. Titans or Gods, I must pave the way. These are the thoughts, That run through my mind, As I read a book called, The Last Olympian.
