Colors of Happy

by

Mx. Jupiter

Entry 1:

Color me pretty

Never let me die

Growing wings and

Learning how to fly

“The world was black and white until they came along,” the grandmother said, rocking herself back and forth on her rocking chair, staring intently out onto the tops of the bright green trees standing against dark blue sky. The purple thunderheads were moving west against the horizon as the Sun’s yellow light broke through them, drenching the land in its warmth.

Her grandchildren looked up at her, not understanding a world without color or how four simple people could bring all of the color and light to all of the darkest corners of the world.

      “Even the Sun?” asked Blaine.

     “Yes. Even the sun,” laughed the grandmother. “All of the world was cold and dark
until they brought us warmth and colors. No one knows exactly where they came from.
Most people think they were ordinary people like you ‘n me.  I guess it just goes to show
ya how much potential is in people,  seemin’ly ordinary human bein’s. Maybe they came
like the rest of us, pulled into this world full of innocence and potential, or maybe they
were weaved from the wind and the light from the sun. Their names were Amil, Claramond,
Misham, and Rowan.”

She knew she was different. She felt it within her, a stirring of energy and brilliance inside of her bones and every fiber of her being. She felt it in the core of her heart. She knew there was more to the world than what anyone could imagine.

“Amil!” her mother called up the stairs. “Hurry up. You don’t want to be late for your first day of school.”

She looked at herself in the mirror, her black hair pulled up in a ponytail. The various shades of gray that made her blending into the rest of her surroundings. If she squinted, she could scarcely tell that she was there, but she felt her heart beating in her chest, and that was good enough for her. She traced the outline of her face in the mirror with her small, delicate fingers, smiling gently as she did so.  

“Coming mommy,” she said as she grabbed her lunch box and raced down the stairs.

Fear

by

Taylor

Life is fear

Everything we hear

Can lead to losing a shear of hope

Life is like a slope

Life is short

And emotions are hard to sort

Its hard to be a good sport

When time is running short.

A Fate to Keep

by
Meghan

You are mine

I am yours

With each other

We’ll cross shores

I’ll go anywhere with you

If you'd go anywhere with me

And if we’d stick together

We can cross the sea

Pink and blue

Boy and girl

A fate we’d meet

And a fate we’d keep

Fate

by
Taylor

Sleeping in bed

Can make you feel dead

As you wake

Everything is at stake

One mistake can change fate

Which can leave you in a miserable state

A Collection of Haiku

by 
Tiffany

Dark clouds fill the sky.

Light crackling all around.

The storm pours on down.

✤✤✤✤

Darkness fills my sight.

My subconscious awakens.

Dreaming through the night.

✤✤✤✤

The rain slows down and,

Only the mist surrounds with

Puddles on the ground.

✤✤✤✤

Rockabye baby,

As tears swell in your blue eyes,

I’ll sing lullabies.

The Light

by
ChemiC

I will follow the light, 

It calls for me. 

It's a rare sight, 

Only I can see. 

Like a father to his children, 

It holds out its hand. 

When I look around, 

It seems the darkness had been banned. 

The sound of a choir ringing in my ears, 

Repaying for all the misery I've dealt with throughout the years. 

I call to you, 

Praying for help

Hoping for the happiness, 

I had once felt. 

Then suddenly a crash,  

I hear all around. 

I swear it was loud enough

To draw a large crowd. 

So I will follow the light, 

As it calls to me.  

It's an unknown thing, 

Only I can see. 

Love Isn't Easy

by Ugly

Love isn’t easy,

Love isn't fair

Love can be hard,

Love can be rare.

Longing for love,

For her this was common

She looked in his eyes,

Then she knew that she'd fallen.

He'd bring her up

When he felt she was down,

He was her king,

And her heart was his crown.

But they grew apart

Seemed to be a trend,

Love isn’t easy

And theirs came to an end.

Dark Night Thoughts

by Michael S

Thoughts come to me in the dark night.

I do what I can so you know you’re needed.

The depression takes over without a fight.

You're the reason I feel weak, and defeated.

You’re the reason  for my tears,

But you’re the tissue that dried them.

You’ve been with me since 10 years.

You solved all my problems no matter what arrived.

When i wasn’t with you i felt deprived.

Now that you're leaving i’m free and alive!!

The Neglected

by Carl

It's been 8 years since you left me i prayed to god it aint break me but it did

you were supposed to be here to protect me from all this evil
what you did was deceitful all i wanted to do was meet you

your other half the one that was clean not the mean

i wish you coulda walked a mile in my shoes feel my blues
listen to my tunes walk through the storm with a smile

you left me when i was a small child
