It Never Happened by Kunal Lobo
“Congrats on your prom date,” I told my best friend Bryan half-heartedly.
“Thanks John,” Bryan responded. He couldn’t stop smiling. Not only had he found himself a prom date, but he had found himself a girlfriend. Another girlfriend. This was his third girlfriend.

This is a Shitty Poem I Wrote About a Shitty Thanksgiving Break by Paul Rummel
Ever have one of those days where shit gets too deep?
I’m not talking “Oh man I just stepped in some dog
Doo during a morning walk” deep, no I mean like
“Someone just drove over my lawn with a manure
Spreader” level of shit getting way, way too thick.

Gasping for Air by Julia Crimado
I remember my first panic attack so clearly
it was the day after my sister tried to kill herself for the first time
Wednesday morning
the sun had come up and a blue sky greeted me through the curtains
despite the storm inside my chest
“it’s time for school honey”

To My Future Partner by Nadia Souada
Did you know that it was possible to kill a cactus?
I did that, in high school, his name was Garfunkel,
He was taller and had a larger flower
than my one-inch cactus from Arizona named Simon

Untitled by Kyle Johnson
You say you would carry me to the ends of this Earth,
But I can’t even get you to open up to me in our living room.
Like LSD you get me high, as you place yourself upon my tongue like a tab.
We go to mystical places, but like a manic-depressive the high cannot last forever.

School Nights by Carla Capone
After coming home from a job that pays,
For nothing more than wifi and McDonalds,
I showered—made my hair into a mohawk
Held together by shampoo and childhood.

Momma by Aliyah Brown
Momma said, the world couldn’t hurt you in anyway, no not one
But momma, little do you know the world has hurt me in ways you may not seem to understand
You see there has been so much judgement of me
That pushed me so close to the edge
That I merely slipped, but the rope just wasn’t strong enough

Trying to convince my roommate it’s just allergies so she won’t turn off the fan that drowns out the truth
I’m swimming in lies again
Most of which, you told me
Some I told myself

Healing by Paul Rummel
It’s not an easy thing, making oneself whole again after being broken.
I do not mean mending a broken heart or repairing damaged pride.
No, being broken reaches down to the core and fractures the soul,
It chills the heart of all passion for dreams and for fellow dreamers.

The Man of the Forest by Kunal Lobo
“Find the Man of the Forest. He is a very wise man and the only one who can save our village.” That was all I was told. I had never been in the forest before, or even step outside of our small village. I didn’t know where to find this “Man of the Forest”. I didn’t know what the “Man of the Forest” looked like. I didn’t know what was wrong with the village. I didn’t know how the “Man of the Forest” could save the village. All I knew was I had to find him.

Conditioning by Tevin Carrington
Allow me to ask you a simple question
A simple question it’s so simple a 5 year old could answer it
What color is the sky?
Like seriously what color is the sky
If you answered blue good job
Your parents did a great job in raising you

Best Friend by Nicole Dikshteyn
I’ve known my best friend since we were in diapers
We grew up together
And I can’t imagine my life without her
You could see pictures of us growing up
Me, sitting on my mothers lap,
Her being held by my fathers, my uncles, my brother
She was always the center of attention, and you think I’d be jealous
