I see you smile, And I don't know what you think. But I wish I did. - Emma

outside those windows trees gently sway with the wind or maybe music – So Yeon

It hampers papers with iron that guarantees safe kept pages. CLICK! - Ryan

A sleek leg extends From the darkness of the car Red heel touches ground - Harry

He frowns then he smiles. His turquoise eyes blink at me. I drop the mirror. - Harry

My eye twitched in rage As the lead of the pencil Snapped in half thrice more. - Roy

darkness shows itself covering the light of day light is retreating - Anthony

It's raining hard. Hiding my painful teardrops. Wish the rain will stop. -Ayaa

Cold wind bites my face as I look up at the frosty moon stars hide in the dark - Nicole

Try not to be sad; if you are a king or fool Life is worth living - Hana

My pencil is tired. It flew twenty times in class, It's used and abused. - Isabel

Quietly drifting Faces pass, do not linger "Nobody" is fine - Luke

Lots of red balloons A pocket full of glitter And a girl backstage... - Luke
