In The Other Room
By: Carmen Cooper
 The day I really saw her
I had no emotions.
I didn't show any.
I smiled nodded and listened to the voices being exchanged in the other room.
She was so glad to see him (not me) and happy all too glad to be back.
I could see through the key hole as he glanced back,
There was a space in his heart that I did not have the pieces for.
Only the little package bundled up had the remedy.
I had to do something but what?
I am so scared!
So mortified.
My emotions flooded me , made my heart thump so hard I nearly suffocated from the beat of it. Which made it hard to breathe which made it hard to see what was happening in the other room.
I sat in the bathtub.
I am confused.
My question was not why but how?
HOW!
After all this time... Now? How does one gain so much knowledge in a blink of an eye?
Then came the whys and the sighs, rolling of my eyes and the water that I drank while laying in water.
"how the hell does a broken heart get back together when its torn apart?"
I hummed.
The truth hurts.. It was the fact that my eyes weren't lying I know what I saw I heard the voices that weren't in my head sang a song that played yesterday. Covered my eyes with my hands took a deep breath and let the water drain.
Yes. I am aware they are in the other room but I built this and I am the only one who can tear it down.

Opretta Cosply- Seeing this reminds of the time I first cosplayed: It was Halloween and I was aware of what Cosplay was but I was still new to how experimental you could be with your outfit so I fashioned my outfit from store bought clothes and things I already owned. I was the type of person who didn't want to be to far-fetched but I still wanted it to look like the character I was portraying but I didn't want it to be over the top. So it ended looking something similar to this. Simple but still what the character looks like.

Part three of A Gift From Venus Going Home I slid back in front of my computer. My goal was to finish my introduction to my essay before lunch. I plugged in my headphones and turned on Youtube, trying to tune out the loud irrelevant thoughts in my head, but unfortunately the music from my favourite songs was in favour of dis tracting me instead of helping me focus. Soon the bell rang and lunch was in session, I sighed and logged off my computer. Okay, so when I get home, my goal is to finish my introduction to my essay. I got off the bus with my friend Brady, the ice on the sidewalk was shining from the light in the sky or the sun making an effort to peep out from behind the clouds. I jumped on top of a sheet of ice and slid down the sidewalk. Brady, was behind me, my best friend who I had adopted as my brother, we automatically connected and became friends after one conversation. Brady was a splitting image of me only younger and a boy. We would laugh together and stop...

 A song by Avril Lavigne that I think describes the deep thoughts you may feel about about another person and how hard it can be to tell them: I’m tugging at my hair I’m pulling at my clothes I’m trying to keep my cool I know it shows I’m staring at my feet My cheeks are turning red I’m searching for the words inside my head [Pre-Chorus] (Cause) I’m feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you’re worth it You’re worth it Yeah [Chorus] If I could say what I want to say I'd say I wanna blow you... away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight If I could say what I want to see I want to see you go down On one knee Marry me today Guess, I’m wishing my life away With these things I’ll never say It don’t do me any good It’s just a waste of time What use is it to you What’s on my mind If it ain’t coming out We’re not going anywhere So why can’t I just tell you that I care [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] What’s wrong with my tongue Th...
