The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result so maybe I am insane for no matter how I protest my innocence I am still going on trial, and my trial begins today. Insanity is the state of being seriously mentally ill, it can be described as extreme foolishness or irrationality but no matter what description or definition can be given, none of it helps me. I am innoc...

Greg and Sam had never met prior to the day they accidentally collided with each other. There had been no malice, intent, or even any real force in the collision but for something which had been so accidental, it had been enough to knock both men off their feet. Sam felt quite woozy, but he did, however, manage to get up quite quickly while quite oddly there was absolutely no movement at all from Greg. It took a moment or...

There is a battle raging inside you,It’s beating you down,Until you forget which side you’re on,You punish me with your internal war. The war,The constant tug-of-war,Causing endless battles,All between yourself,And I’m caught in the middle. The Middle,Tearing you apart,Tearing me down,Tearing us apart.The battle of do I stay or do I go? Go,Going, gone,Such a small but powerful word,It determines my life,Not just yours,Wha...

In that other universe, we are the lucky ones. In that other universe, we have finally made it. In that other universe, we never experienced what we experienced here. Life never weathered or hardened us the way it did, it never dug into the depths of our souls, it never perforated our hearts. In that other universe, we didn’t associate love with leaving. In that other universe, we always felt good enough. We always felt w...

Your silence is so loud, It screams into the darkness, Flowing through my brain, Making me feel insane.   The pounding sound, Threatening to tear me down, Running through my heart, Ripping me apart.   Silence is a powerful thing, Louder than spoken words, Especially, as love dies, From all the omissions and lies.   “Speak to me,” I cry, Breaking through the darkness, I deserve to know, Should I go?   Silence is eating my...

I wake on my left side, shivering from the cold. I fumble for the comforter but come up empty-handed. Annoyed, I roll onto my back thinking I'll have to wrestle it from Ben, my blanket-stealing husband who likes to wrap himself in a cocoon. Instead of feeling his warm body, I find only space, as my hand drops to a cool, hard surface covered in what feels like small wood shavings.Confusion blurs my memory. Gradually, the v...

This cell in the womb is alive It needs to be protected too Should it live or die The young mother has no clueShe was raped and held down Unfortunately now pregnant No smiles just frowns This situation not pleasant Should she have an abortion Or give the baby away Would the child be an orphan The decision marks an awful day Her family has so much to say The teen is embarrassed and scared She doesn't want to relive that da...

She hates who she is She doesn't let people in She wishes she was his He deceived her with sin She feels as she's dying She loved him so much There was lots of lying No more loving touch He left and she's alone She only has dark days She never answers the phone She wanted him to stay He slept with her friend He deceived her with lies Didn't want to make amends Tears pour out of her eyes She's now drowning in pain There's...

I had about five minutes to think this over. Picture this: I’m sitting in the bathroom taking a dump, I have a case of diarrhea and stomach cramping due to having a stomach infection that occurred right after I returned from my trip to Mexico during spring break when I suddenly see a video shared by a Facebook friend. The title reads Things People with Anxiety Want Their Friends to Know. I can’t say I am very concentrated...
