Catch me by Marcus Brown

Vivid memories sleep on the horizon Reminiscing on the days of old Days past, but not gone Asleep, but not dead The negative energy radiates; Cuts deep: to the core, to the heart Hatred, insecurity, depression Drown you Try to swim Can’t move For what worth is this life alone? Says the insecure Says the […]

I can’t swim I’m drowning The sun shines Through the water Hitting my skin But I don’t feel warm I can’t breathe I’m immobile The water is clear I can see your face Smiling Such a contrast To my tear faced one The water pulls me To the shore Away from the shore I’m drowning […]

Shakespearean Sonnet Shall we please sail not the ships on the sea? But its abomination, the cold ice Sailing which, evermore we shall be free: And so avoid love’s tolls and its price.

There is a difference between people who swim with sharks and people who get thrown overboard because choosing to take risks isn’t the same as being forced to.

I feel my body breaking, Like waves eroding the rocks of my soul. Tossed aside like garbage, I try to scream but no sound comes out. Desperately I try to pull myself up, But I am detained by my own weight. I am stitch in a void of nothing. Reaching out with only air to […]

I have never learned how to swim, I don’t know how it must feel like To be under water so blue and so Out of my reach, and I know how Buoyancy works, yet I have never Experienced it, but even though I’m only standing near a body of Water today, nowhere inside it, I […]

Tear me away Way Way Down to the bottom of the sea Way way down Chain me to a rock with titanium I might die I think I might want to But……. I will not I will show my strength And break through the metal And slowly tear through the waves to the surface. My […]

On Becoming by Carol Brown

Let me tell you a story about birth: A girl came home one day after school and the walls bent around her, wrapped her all up absorbed her back into the womb. That was how it happened. Except, the floor was covered in broken glass and she touched it and got her fingers all cut […]
