Bring it on

Wear me out

and I shall rise

weigh me down

you shall pay its price

Encage my soul

Enrage my eyes

My echoed cries

shall accompany your demise

Shatter my dreams

starve my hopes

muffle my screams

see how it goes

Mock my pain

pierce my scars

let the aching kill

do whatever you will

Do whatever you will,

go on with those pitiful tries

go on trying to hear more cries

go on and on and on and on

'Cause frankly, I do not care

so don't you ever dare

to say I didn't warn

I have scheduled my success

don't you dare say later you hadn't known

As this whole process

Will eventually wear you out, alone…

Clara however, was a natural. I don't think she spent a minute without her headphones and notepad. That was the only time I interacted with the kids and although most were adorable, Clara Winslow left an impression instantly. Later that day and for every day since, I was assigned generic prep work so I barely saw the kids....

The Ominous Letter

I listen to what you say when you believe you’re alone. I know what you would rather do if you knew nobody was watching . I can feel you tense at my words. I can hear your breathing pattern cautiously pause. When your grandmother said “Mind what you let occupy your mind”, where were you? She may not have known the core reason behind what she preached, but she was right in thinking it was essential to protect you. She had every reason to be concerned. It is one of the greatest mysteries of the human race how nobody discovered that thoughts are logged. There are arrays of them incrementally pouring in as you read this. I have unhindered access to each thought of yours, as much as I would like otherwise. Some of the thoughts are periodically repeated. As a bunch, they collectively move forward to take the form of an action. I sit there in pain at the very onset of your first immoral thought, praying it never finds its bunch. My job is to send back uninv...
