Favorite Quote:
Black. No sugar. No cream.


There is a truth that must be told by me

When late night words are exchanged and slip past

heavily hooded heads hanging lowly.

Brown eyes turned to violets in full bloom –

Promises made through a quick call’s bright cast

And the truth must be called out! Aloud, here

Between friends, or not friends who lend their ears.

So hearts collide amidst catastrophe

Then friends turn to more and not friends turn too

There was a truth that had been told by me.


The author's comments:

Originally I wrote this poem as an assignment for my AP Literature class but then I ended up having a lot of fun with it and fell in love with it. I even read it at my school's poetry slam! The feelings I put into the poem aren't very true to what I currently feel, but when I wrote it they were real and powerful. I love it nontheless.
