My Brother

My brother     
My brothers, my big brother 
My big brother that  taught me a lot without  saying one word, well not a word out “your”  dictionary. 
I could understand what my brother needed  or wanted by just one look…
….And when my big brother smiled it that’s all the comfort i needed in my life from my big brother..
My big brother wasn’t your typical big brother… He couldn’t beat up all the boys that troubled me as a young girl but his needs kept me out of trouble…
He was the only thing I worried about anyways …
My big brother was MY big brother… And I miss him

Attention

I don’t write what I write or draw what I draw for attention.
I do it because how else can I say how I feel
express it.
I hate attention
but I hate being ignored.
I’m a mess.
I’m sorry.

I Left Him

Your so far, yet so close…
When I’m with him, it’s you I see…
When im looking away, yet holding his hand, its your hands i feel…
When my eyes are closed for just one kiss, its the sparks from our first kiss i feel, that make me want to stop kissing him…when he tries to make me laugh, i remind myself on how you used to do it…
Every little thing he does i see you..causing me to be unhappy..if these words i write would just fall into your hands, for you to see why i miss you so much..maybe you’d understand…its you. Its always been you…………….I left him…were just friends now, cause all i see is you. I couldn’t handle it not being you anymore. So i left. Now, I’m putting it into Gods hands..letting him lead the way, as i should of been doing from the start.

Cigarettes and You

You reminded me of a cigarette
you started with a spark
and ended in ashes
I thought you made me happy
I was..what’s the word
Addicted
Yes that’s it
Addiction
Thats all you were
I dont know when I realized it
That you were no good
Was it when the late night talks stopped?
Or when the jokes just weren’t funny anymore?
Or maybe it was when
I met her
And finally realized
Cigarettes just weren’t my thing

TRUST

By: Alyssa A.
Most people say they trust nobody.
But have you ever noticed that your trusting people everyday.
When you get on the school bus in the morning, your putting trust into the driver to get you to your destination safely.
When you go to a restaurant and order your food, your putting trust into the cooks to handle your food with care.
When your in the car with your parents driving, your putting trust into them that they won’t crash.
When you go to a amusement park and get on a ride, your putting trust into the ride operator to keep you safe and secure.
A lot of people don’t notice trust when it’s right in front of them. We may not want to trust anybody in this world, but we’re doing it regardless.

My Thoughts on Religion

By Maurice B. 
I honestly do believe in a higher power. I’m very open minded about a lot of things and not about others. I’m not very religious though, more spiritual. Growing up I was always raised to be a good, fair person who respected everyone and I’ve always tried to be the best person I could be.
Though I’m very aware that people really don’t believe in “higher powers” they think it absurd which is fine everyone is different and have good reason not to.
Here’s what grinds my gears for both sides of the fence. Some religious people can be very judgmental and very rude. Lots of kids and adult would say that their religion (most likely Christianity) was shoved down their throat and can’t respect or follow it any,ore because they have a bad view of it. It’s never good to force someone to do something they don’t want to do. I cannot personally relate because religion was never forced on me and I was never taught to be judgmental or rude to people; I was always a good person and I don’t think it’s right to force any belief on anyone. Let people choose.
As for “non-believers” you have every right to not have a religion, clearly and I respect that,but when I go on social media and see you insulting and claiming superiority over people who do have beliefs and a religion I start to respect it a lot less. I think of it as hypocrisy when you complain that religious people are judgmental and rude, but any chance you get to talk to a religious person who wasn’t rude at all to you the first thing you do is say “You’re stupid for believing in….” Insulting someone’s intelligence doesn’t make anyone a good person.
I’m bringing this up because I see this a lot on social media and it’s always an arguement about “proof” or “intellectual superiority” and it’s really a dumb thing to argue about. Why can’t people just have a religion or not and just leave each other be?
