This poem titled Addiction describes how when life takes on a dreary and monotone feeling, joy may seem like it is a drug rather than a real emotion. To see people with so much joy makes them seem very different. This poem describes joy from an addicts point of view. I have a sin to confess
This poem is dedicated to anyone who has been greatly impacted by a celebrity, whether they’re a singer, an actor, a sports player, a comedian.. Whether they have passed away or are still thriving today, this poem goes out to those fans. I’ll love you forever Not for one minute Not for one month
This poem is the by product of my cinematic craze and enjoyment of movies. When you stop and think about the course of your life so far, you will realize that it is like a beautifully written cinematic masterpiece. Your memories are both tragic and joyful, all bundled up to form your own unique biography.
“I am an eighteen-year-old, second generation Asian-American. For too long, writing, language meant division—a disconnect. As the daughter of immigrants, it meant a barrier between myself and those closest to me. My Mandarin is too facile to carry on anything more than a superficial conversation. My mother once said that we are constantly, “grasping at
Classic novels are something adored by the elderly and despised by modern youth. Perhaps it’s the complicated wording, the extended length of most of these revered titles, or the fact that many classics are required reading for adolescents, but just do not appeal to most of the younger generation.

The speaker is someone that’s in love, and they realize that the person they’re in love with doesn’t truly appreciate them as much as they do, but they don’t really care. Even something as small as a glance is enough to refill the wistful hope that
This is the final selection of the Pride Poems series. This is a poem about the color violet and what it represents. This is a poem about spirit and what it means and is. I feel as though this poem truly is a good note to end on. What is spirit I know you
Just this week I completed my first year of college. Through these many months I’ve evolved immensely and gained so much new experiences and knowledge. This poem references what I learned while taking a course on the solar system just this past quarter–as well as what I have learned about myself this past school year.
One of the many purposes of art is to evoke emotion, promote creation in return, and to complete the loop of consumption. Halsey’s song ‘Heaven in Hiding’ off her new album hopeless fountain kingdom brought up the dichotomy of power and vulnerability that I feel is one of my most instinctive and unrefined drives. I can
Through the years I’ve seen either my friends or people I know be in toxic relationships and pass that off as “love”. At times it’s difficult to see someone for who they truly are.
