An entry for a writing competition I recently participated in, with the theme “Tomorrow”. It’s an allusion to the conflict we currently face, so find out if you can do some poem analysis right there :D.

Tomorrow, aren’t I brave?

Tomorrow, please take me away.

Tomorrow reaches out a loving hand,

Just to snatch it away.

staring at the ceiling
once again the clock striking twelve
joints, you can’t be moving
once again feeling me dissolve

When I look at your smile,

My world spins on a dwindling axis,

When you hold me close in your arms,

My heart beats, matching your ebb and flow.

her smile was bittersweet
but it might’ve just been me
or more likely the not-completely-ripe orange
that i chose to eat this morning

Seven tickets. An island of dreams. The chance of a lifetime.

Sometimes I stand there, barefoot in my nightwear,
The emotion in my eyes, concentrated in an angry glare,
In my heart’s abyss, burns a furious flame,
Everyone around me, on them I pin the blame.

“Cough, cough, achoo!”

Here come the holidays,

And once more, poor old Mili,

Is down with the darned flu.

Due to a sudden, extreme case of writer’s block and a completely uninspiring week because of assessment tasks, we have a guest writer, one of my friends, saving my graces today! Shoutout to him for his amazing writing, and thank you for helping me out today.

Enjoy:)

In this inspiring story, two teenagers fall in love, Stella and Will. Only, they can’t cross withing 6 feet of each other, due to their debilitating cystic fibrosis. Stella is a routine, rule-following individual, while Will doesn’t want to be limited by us CF, accepting his life and wanting to live it to the fullest.

Life or love?

Five Feet Apart, by Rachael Lippincott, Tobias Iaconis, Mikki Daughtry

Twilight, o twilight,

Won’t you take me home?

The twinkle in your rotten eye,

Threatens to tip me over into the unknown.
