Never Ends


by Olivia H.


Unending sacrifice,
Unlimited stress,
A tight muscled spine,
There's no turning back.
How will I end?
Is it worth the sacrifice ahead?
Countless days and hours,
My work stands still and quiet,
Waiting for my chances,
To fulfill my task in silence.
Obliged, I return
To focus once more.
Endless nights, forever writing,
I own you! it yells to frighten.
Brain ignited, wrecked core,
Consumed by such load.
I beg stop! I can do no more.
Meaningless shot, after all.
The never-ending course,
Won’t let me move on.
Inspiration, just a glimpse,
Pulls me from my mind.
Barely a moment,
Soon to be gone.
Back to my mind,
Sleep for the night.

Children’s Choices: Doomed to Disappoint

              For some people, their parents are their own personal heroes and they wish to emulate them by any means possible. For others… it is preferable to follow a completely different path, far from what might have been expected from their families. Even if parents can certainly be proud of their children, most of the time they end up disappointed in regards to some, or many, of their children’s life choices, as they differ from tradition or a family’s particular desires. It is rather impossible for children to live up to their progenitors’ expectations when tradition, family values and personal life experience might get in the way of their own pursuit of happiness.             Tradition is a form of separation between generations. Different generations hold different views regarding several aspects of a person’s life – education, family or society – which can already become a common caus...

TOXIC

An old self, whom I chose to erase A fraction that stays, in hopeless disdain No notion nor thought for what I did not know I meant no harm, I just meant to survive Amidst a toxic live, any way I could find I shared all my nerves but also my love I was charming at first, just to suddenly break My love was sincere, in a self without esteem Yes you give what you get, tho I did try to learn Which I took to heart, soul and mind
