Mrs. Sturgis’ 3B Creative Writing Class asks you to: Free your mind, You’ll be surprised at what you may find. ANTHEM OF THE ANGELS WE ARE THE BROKEN In our grassy kingdom we lay. I watched the screaming, Sitting in the warm summer rays. The lies, deceit, and the pain it’s bringing. It was magic, it was bliss – I’ve watched us fall from faith. We believed nothing could ruin this. I watched us, our red ribbon of fabricated blood Now we’ll sing the Anthem of the Angels break. As we lay it down to rest. I’ve watched the hideous names run across the room, As all things it ends – I’ve watched babies be born too soon. And so must this, my friend. The rain had come down, I’ve seen you when you were about to break Leaving nothing but it’s torturous burning From the love and heart he seemed to take. sound. I’ve seen him when he was on his knees And then we’ll all come together to sing – Dear Begging for you not to leave. Agony I’ve seen what it means to have a home Let me fall slowly. And these things are all I’ve ever known. The green was gone and I was alone. But you didn't see me behind that door – The nightmarish dream had grown. Wishing our family would be whole once more. Staring, lost in this lack of Technicolor, You didn't see when I lost my fragile mind I wish that we could have suffered together. Or the painful scars we leave behind. To get it back, we’ll have to Dance with the You didn't see the secrets I held so dear, Devil, Now, all that’s left is a wreckage here. And I know that there is no sweeter evil. SLAYER Your thunder scented hugs make my thoughts swirl Along with these blissfully painful moments I’ll never miss. These untitled emotions mix with gentle fear Between caramel colored hurt Under all this raw feeling here Gathered along the crimson dirt. I’ll take your velvet hand in mine And we can run through the rain, Laughing like the chilling touch of time In my mind, this day will always be the same. Alivia Becker DINOSAUR When we were together On those abstract summer days I knew that the sun would rise forever, But what I didn't know was that you wouldn’t love me always. I held my breath, wondering if it was true- And sure enough you let go of my hand Yet you still felt for me, and I still loved you, But you left me wandering along the sand. So I pass by you, every now and again, Entering your vaulted thoughts. Praying that this is the end – Though we both know it’s not. LOST Lost like the etchings in the beaten sand, Lost like the warmth from your hand. Lost like the waves as they crash along the shore, Lost like the echo of your name forever more. Lost like the chill of the wind, Lost like the rose from your skin. Lost like a whisper in the dark, Lost like the way I’ll be when you depart. But what’s not lost is what you gave to me – Every smile, every hug, every faded memory. Even though you’ll one day be gone, Just know that I’ll let my life go on. I’ll stand strong just for you – Even if the tears cloud my view. I’ll remember the times we had – When I made you happy, crazy, and even mad. I’ll remember you from now on, And we can meet again someday, somewhere far gone. Alvia Becker Andrew Rowles Dreams Dreams; desires, fears, rational, irrational. Dreams are human. Or are humans dreams? Half our lives are spent dreaming. Which half is real? Can I really fly? Is gravity an illusion? All so familiar, yet so different. Déjà Vu Un Broken bonds Put brinks in my chest Never Ending remembrance While water breaks free And smirks as you fall down Un Broken love takes you Away as the ground Looks up Confused Beautiful memories Rivers overlook far off gazes Fire erupts as the Un Broken love Questioned Absence stares Directly Mocking Wind captures Wandering away Un Broken bonds Reconciled By: Abbey Kaufman Dreams Calmness during stress and struggle A warm Spring in a Winter of frozen hate The lucid state between life and death A respite from being mocked and hiding The harbor for your imagination Where you can float above your strife and sorrow Freedom from chains of unacceptance Calmness during stress and struggle Austin Weaver Drifting The feeling of closing my eyes Is like a feeling no other Where the lights fade to black Only bliss I discover Where I can think in peace And harmony as well I’m no longer stuck On thoughts about Hell Where I can lay And ponder more beautiful things Where I can stay Where the loneliness Won’t sting Where the emptiness Won’t cling Movies The faint image of your face Is a painted picture through my thoughts And a recurring dream Of each and every single movement We’ve spent side by side Replays over And over Again without hesitation Resenting the persistent pushing; All of my efforts are Are put to sleep Once your presence Continues to play JM Ocean Jessica Miller Waves break the calm surface Deep blues and greens mix to make the color of the sea as wisps of wind blow. Dolphins splash along the whitecaps Sea turtles glide at sea level, then plunge towards the bottom Sea gulls float like bobbers Surfers paddle out to find a rolling swell carrying them in its grasp towards shore Children play in the shallow waters while parents stand by with a watchful eye Shrimp boats drag their hungry nets As sharks follow close behind The glassy gray disturbed by the motors will once again be calm Crystal Ball Katy Hinton I hope to see When I grow up A happy family, mother and Father and children A cute house, with trees Like friendly giants, and grass As green as could be Staying out late to ride the Ferris Wheels at the county fair Lit up like the stars in the sky Watching a movie on a rainy day Warm homemade cookies And a tall glass of milk Curling up while the kitchen Is still a mess Bright orange, yellow, red leaves That make the horizon a beautiful Autumn glow As we walk the children in for their First day of school Smiles on their faces All this is what I see When I look into my crystal ball And think Of what I want My future To be. Addie Warren Sailing away on a ship at sea Or maybe space, who knows? Could be! A twinkle in the night That shines so bright Guiding my way to the land of dreams Walking on bubbles across the plains It’s a great life, I can’t complain! Bright blue skies That doesn’t hide lies Guiding my way to the land of dreams I’ve found the land by the way of my sail And with help of the bubbles, I did not fail! Floating above it all Although I will not fall Only in the land of my dreams To Be a Bird By Brianna Norwood Just to be a bird, And glide on the wind currents, And soar from coast to coast, And have a home at the top of a tree, And move from place to place, Just to be a bird, And fly solo without being judged, And be alone without being alone, And feel free from any emotion, And never care to have a care, But if you were a bird with me, I would let you fly by my side, And glide on the wind current, And soar from coast to coast, And have a home at the top of a tree, And move from place to place, How I’d love to be a bird with you, And fly together without being judged, And be together and stay together, And feel free to have any emotion, And care to have a care, Just to be a bird, And fly along with another like you, And feel the wind on our faces, And go wherever we wish And share the freedoms of being a bird. Daydream By: Haley Becker Blank stares Blocking out the world around you, Dreaming about your future, What’s going to happen next? Or what just might have happened. Confusion with too many voices, Coming from the back of your head. The inability to think clearly, Remembering, Forgetting, Making decisions. your eyes make pictures while they’re shut your imagination goes wild In your own world you can control But as Reality becomes closer, The stare comes back to life, You’re left with a mystery… But that, For sure is life. I Dreamt of You Last Night I woke up and you were lying next to me I watched the rise and fall of your chest I listened to your soft shallow breaths I waited, not wanting to wake you I Met Me in a Dream You slept so soundly The night encloses me You seemed so serene Wrapping me in its black thin veil The moon light spilled over your features As it whispers me into oblivion Extending your jaw line Thoughts I didn’t know I had Making you look like a god Thoughts of the past, present, and future I dreamt of you last night I walk next to a man, but I am he Then I woke up I am a shadow of him My feet are mending to his, discipline I try to break free preparing to jump I jump back into the black thin veil Searching for my shadow Scared of the night KR Mindless Dreaming Kristin Trusz A fleeting thought Can carry a mind so far.
