If I could breathe feelings into your soul

If I could drink peace from the depths of the earth

I would try to convey the longings of my soul

If I knew forever by the beat of your heart


As I swallow the bittersweet remnants

Of what could have been, but never will be

I am reassured

Of nothing

But the fickleness of humanity


My disgust is your mistrust.


If you drank the sorrow pouring from my heart

Could feel the weight of the pain in our breath

You would find how intricately

Fragile we are.


Unapologies-Sarah’s Journaling Assignment

Who What When Where Why

The five W's. These are imperative in writing, especially creative writing. Whether it's building characters, setting, rising action, or conflict, these concepts are always at play. These same concepts are also important to consider as you are deciding who you want to be and what you want to do with your life. Today, you have an assignment that's a non-assignment. Freewrite today. Just keep these five words in mind.

Frappuccino How You Always

Frappuccino how you always

Pick me up when I'm

Down in the dumps


Frappuccino how you always

Brighten my cloudy days

With your cooling goodness


Frappuccino how you always

Bring bittersweet redemption

From the 2pm slump


Frappuccino how you always

Have a new trick up your sleeve

Brownie java chip? Yes please!


Venti double triple

mocha whippa frappuccino

extra caramel, extra whip, lite blended coffee


Frappuccino how you never

Last long enough, no matter how

I try to stretch you out


Until

You're

All

Gone.
