Who We Were Before (Poem by Gabby L.)

Growing up, we’re getting old So little time, yet so much to go You’re changing and so am I I can tell by the look in your eye You told me you believed in me And that you loved what I’d do On those days when I couldn’t see I would always rely on you Those days are gone And now it feels wrong You’re a senior now And I’m wondering how We’ll still be talking Once you start walking To your dorm room up north Whilst I’m still down south I wonder if you’ll remember Our late night talks Our texts til midnight Cutting it short Because our parents hit the lights I’m scared, and I know you are too Walking on paths, unsure what to do We’ll be okay, I know we will I thank you for the millions of times You made me feel I want you to still keep in contact Never lose who you are I know we’ll get off track And you’ll move too far For us to talk face to face But that’s okay I would do anything To see your name Pop onto my screen At midnight Like it did before

Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
