Do I Hate You Or Love You? Why is it that you leave me feeling so alone and confused? All I want in our relationship is a feeling of love, not the feeling of being used. I feel so used and abused, but something keeps me coming back to you. Maybe it's your smile that keeps me from sa...

Thoughts on Earth: This world has no place for genius. Artistry, love, beauty, creativity is warped and mangled like raw steel into financial gain and social profiteering. What happened to the traveling gypsies, the gleemen and the circus? A generation of lost souls is found in this mes...

I bit my lips as I stepped into my classroom. I felt the wetness of my sweaty palms as I switched my pink Barbie lunch bag from one hand to the other.

Descriptive Narrative I remember that cold day in October three years ago as I walked down the endless rows of new and used cars. I was oblivious to the sounds of the congested afternoon traffic around me. All that was on my mind was anticipation, a little hope, and a checkbook in m...

I stood at the doorway of the Boing747 jumbo jet, unsure that I even wanted to enter. As I was ushered to my seat, I was aware of people chatting, seat belts clicking, and flight attendants closing the overhead luggage compartments. The scene made me dizzy. In a state of semi-shock, I slumped int...

Dear Dad, I know that you are angry and upset with me, and I understand why-but I also want to explain myself to you.
