Comet
Poem by Lucas Scott

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning. There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again... And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart.


We are Defectives
Poem by Katie

Perfectly Defective
broken, flawed, imperfect
both of us hide behind masks
one of us bold, one of us proper
yet when we get together
the masks begin to slide
and we can no longer hide
one of us confessing, one of us denying
passionate, corresponding, content
We are comparable defectives perfect for each other.


The Looking Glass
Poem by Katie


There is a wall of glass between us
I look through and see the real you
You look through but see only what you dream
One day when the time is right
you will break through the glass
to find me looking through to you
and suddenly you will find
what you have always dreamed.


My Salvation
Poem by Katie

Hidden among the shadows
you followed my every move
I tried to hide my true emotions
you somehow always knew.

Waiting along the sidelines
you helped in my time of need
I required a friend to scheme with
you were there for me.

Watching in the crowd
you gazed at me in awe
I felt like the only girl on stage
you made me feel special.

Sitting next to me in the limo
you asked me if I was sure
I knew right then you respected me
you became my first.

Finding me at my party
you confessed your butterflies
I denied your admission
you rebuilt your walls.

Consoling me when I was hurt
you gave me a special gift
I could not believe what you had done
you saved me once again.

Kissing me with passion
you caressed my thigh
I felt free and happy
you made me feel myself.

Dancing step-by-step with me
you wore your victorious grin
I knew you were to blame
you let me down this time.

Missing somewhere far away
you hadn’t called in days
I didn’t know you knew what happened
you sent a text to confirm


Keeping me away from Nate
you seemed like such a jerk
I wished you would bother someone else
you told me you choose me.

Avoiding my direction
you said you didn’t want me
I had already been hurt so much
you weren’t there to save me this time.


We had it all
Poem by Aurora


We had it all, almost everything.
We played the games and stood up so strong,
We called each other names, sometimes they made us sway.
We tried to stay cool, we broke every rule.
We danced and laughed, drank and cried.
We fought a lot, never gave up.
We never lied, we always told the truth,
That’s is probably why I’m sitting here
W i t h o u t you.
We tried too much and in the end we lost it all.
We faked our smiles and never got busted…
Until right now.
