Holly wrote about the word icicle 1 year, 7 months ago
Cold. Frozen, like your heart. Stabbing, like your tongue. Hanging precariously like the weight of all your wrongdoings. Icicles, like those you embedded in my skin. You are glass, frozen glass, temporary glass, melting, leaving me, leaving all of us.

Holly wrote about the word tires 1 year, 7 months ago
I make myself smile. On this endless road I ride, my tires eating pavement like a hungry horse. I am racing toward my destiny, toward a future of unbounded opportunity. Me, and you, and all of us, we are altering the future as we are running with it.

Dear awakening of epiphany, please dawn on the days of reason. I can’t keep breathing in this cold night air while ambling along a path I don’t understand.

Holly wrote about the word comfort 1 year, 8 months ago
Comfort? I know of no such thing. I am an empty shell without mind or soul. No epiphany has lit up these dusty old bones in a long while. I undermine myself without thinking about the untruths I am spreading. Down come the weak walls of me I tried to construct. How silly of me [...]

I wanted to take your advice. Plain and simple. I knew it was the right path. However, my heart saw no destiny in following it. Here I stand in my dilemma, wishing I had want enough to follow in your footsteps.

I do not prosper in the modern world. I am a shrinking entity, the middle class. Restrictions upon restrictions choke my wallet. Suffocate me.

Holly wrote about the word setting 1 year, 8 months ago
You speak but don’t say. You are an empty promise, and we are walking these cold unfriendly halls without noticing. Hospitality in the hospital doesn’t exist, like you no longer exist in this setting with me. We could be watching the waves crash onto shore together but you choose for us to each be alone.

I am your everywhere everything, spilling over quickly the way a bustling city moves. Energy and idea brought up from the depths of me, undefined child of the sea. Raised in the sticks yet drowned in the water.
The city makes its own earth. Stationary movement, quivering. I am not this city. I am old and I grow slowly. I require time so I may open in the right season. Leave me be so I may live forever.

I am October. Angry leaves, red and gold. Crisp, cold air, stealing your soul. Scarlet cheeks. Awake and alive. I am summer’s last breath, ending of autumn. I, life. I refuse to go down without a fight. Take my last breath before winter takes them all. I am all that is violent in youth. I refuse to end, yet I always do.

Holly wrote about the word edge 1 year, 8 months ago
The edge of the earth. Electric minds surge forth and over. Forth and over they go. I am your brain. I disregard the edge. We have horizontal limits but we stretch upward like tall pillars of connection. We are connected to an idea bigger than we are, an idea that stretches across the cosmos.

This is really powerful.
In reply to - Leslie wrote about the word punishment He would place large books beneath his thin jeans… praying father didn’t see the thick lining, the obvious squares of safety from the stinging whip awaiting fall. His punishment was meant to be a physical pain, but drew its breath farther in… grabbed more than his precious, young hide. It banished his emotional self; his [...] • View -

Great word usage :)
In reply to - Reilly wrote about the word punishment It’s not something he thinks about. His fingers curling into a fist, clutching so tightly he’ll leave nail marks on his palm when he’s done. He swings, leaving purple and blue and a little bit of red all over. Her back is pressed up against the door, the knob gutting into her side, and she [...] • View -

This is simply fantastic :)
In reply to - David Simba Douglas wrote about the word honest Honest hearts have nothing to fear while walking down the lonesome road. It is the heart blacken by the stray ink that trembles with every step trying to remember a road they pinched from another travelers map. • View -
Holly wrote about the word punishment 1 year, 10 months ago
I could be graphic about your abuse but that would only serve to waste time. Back and forth we can go, under laws that do not fully protect, but that solves nothing. You will never know the extent of the damage you caused. No matter what I do, no matter what I say, you will [...]
