Worlds Collide
Alex Feng drives home from the hospital, leaving behind the woman of his dreams. As she lay dead on the hospital bed, part of his heart withers away with her. The bumpy ride back from the hospital reminds him of their relationship. Though most would consider it to be a rough ride, and would much rather have a smooth and loving relationship, Alex and Stella seemed to find love in the potholes and flat tires of the world. They found love like gaining muscle in a gym. By breaking apart the muscle while lifting weights, it comes back bigger and stronger. In the instance of love, Alex and Stella...

Where Did My Hope Go?
I have everything. Whatever money can buy, the success I’ve dreamt of, the grades, the looks. So why do I feel so… unhappy? Incomplete?
Where Did My Hope Go?
I dreamt about leadership roles, taking the difficult classes, getting the grades, all at the cost of losing what really mattered. On a journey that was originally meant for self-discovery, I threw it all away for textbooks and a letter with a little plus or minus. No longer.

Hopeless Love
My heart is trapped inside a glass box. It tries to break free with every *thump,* yet cannot shatter the confinements of solidarity. Like a bird trapped in its cage, one’s ability to love freely relies on others to break us free. For me, that woman was Jenny. The love of my life, my partner in crime, we did everything together. After receiving a massive inheritance, I realized that money could not buy me happiness. Money could not release my heart from its cage. Though I had millions, Jenny was my everything. She was my everything. Was. She had died earlier in the year from a battle with...

Nolan grabs his belongings and leaves History Class. His high school experience had been what some would consider “normal,” but Nolan didn’t feel that way. He had been hiding something, fearing a part of himself and pushing it down. He walks through the hallways, nervous. A familiar *ding* chimes from his phone. It was Derrick.
“Hey man! You left some stuff over at my house, I was wondering when I could drop it off.”
“Derrick, I thought we went over this. I can’t let anybody know what happened.”
“Nobody’s gonna know,” Derrick replied. “Besides, you can trust...

Can you smell what’s in the air?
I bring kids to my backyard, the white people stare.
8 year olds, 9 year olds, babies galore!
They came in pairs, but they’re grouped by four.
I took them fresh right out of their cribs,
Put ‘em on the grill for baby back ribs.
They laid on the slots right above the fire,
Then I blasted the gas to make the temperature higher.
Human burgers on the menu today,
Some say it’s nasty, I think it’s okay!
Mustard, ketchup, pepper, salt,
Some blame me, I say it’s God's fault. ...

I Miss You, Tajikistani Woman
I went to a club, as sketch as can be,
But there I found my love, a Tajikistani.
She was cute and kind and loved me a ton,
Her skill in the bed was second to none.
But this Tajikistani woman, I forgot her name,
Changed into someone new after her rise to fame.
Rumor has it that that in order to get where she went,
She sucked off the Tajikistani president.
It was sloppy and crazy and all out rad,
It was the best head the president had ever had.
He said, “оҳ ман дар...

Your Temple, My Pleasure
A moment rests between the two of us,
Both eager for what the night has in store.
Craving sacred attention from your body,
Desire and lust keep us thriving for more.
Everlasting love uplifts this pair,
Forming a tie overflowing with grace.
Going to bring their love one step further,
Heaven on Earth for me to embrace.
I move in closer, then hold your body near mine,
Just a couple more minutes till you make me your man.
Kiss me slowly, bring me into your world,
Let me love you as hard as I can.
Many have...

The Adventures of Robert Racoon
Robert Racoon sat alone on the beach while his kids remained in school,
He had lost his job and had nothing to do, so he went to the beach to go Juul.
He had been trying to stop, for he new it was bad, but something in him said not,
He threw away the machine, for he knew it was mean, and making his lungs rot.
Today was the day, he would tell his kids, to stop Juuling whenever he could,
His kids started to cry, for they were about to say bye, and they prayed that he actually would.
Three years later, he continued his quest, to be free from...
