The Endless Spirit

By Emily Hilderhof

A bright desire shines, wanting to be noticed.

Throughout the day,

she begins to lose hope, starting

to diminish as if she were to disappear.

Fading to nothing more than a shadow

of what once was.


Call of the Unbiased

By Lauren McGrath

You see the clothes

You see the hair

You don’t see the person there.

(You see a thing)


The Tease

By Jackie Trammell

The chase reels me in.

You lie and fake me out till the end.

I hope and pray that you will be true.

But you let me down.

Screw you.


These Are My Friends

By Portia Miller

I am me

They are them,

Three halves make a whole.

They are the oddballs

Nerds and geeks.

People with voices in their heads

And we love being weird.

We’re none of your labels,

And yet . . . all of them.
