Connections Can Become An Awful Tragedy

Winter,&nbsp; You touch me in a way the heat of the summer cannot When the summer approaches,&nbsp; I am greeted by an underlying feeling A craving, almost.&nbsp; I never knew such a craving could exist for a season I ache for the touch of the winter breeze&nbsp; And the feeling of shivers crawling down my spine&nbsp; Or the touch of the frozen snow&nbsp; I find myself craving even the unfavorable parts of winter Even the barren and frigid land&nbsp; Maybe I remind myself of this season&nbsp; Perhaps it is why I yearn for its presence

Maybe in our next lives we can be butterflies Who dance in gardens of flowers Or birds who soar through the sky&nbsp; We tell eachother ever since we were kids that we would be friends forever&nbsp; As any other kid&nbsp; Overtime we realize that forever doesn’t truly exist But I will love you forever&nbsp; Even if it doesn’t exist&nbsp; Because I don’t want this to end&nbsp; I will forever fight the fate that drives us apart&nbsp; Because even from the start&nbsp; I knew you would fill a gap in my heart&nbsp; If not soulmates then what are we? Perhaps platonic soulmates Bound by the sky in which birds fly&nbsp; Either way I’ll stay by your side forever&nbsp; Even if it doesn’t exist

I am a writer and a poet who is inspired by nature and beauty of the world, but also the vileness that coexists in the world. Even the simplicity of life entertains my work, I try to capture how simple humans really are, but also the paradox of their complexity. Ever since I was little I’ve always been influenced by the arts, whether that’s paintings, books, movies. It all inspires me just the same. I think I’ve become really motivated to start writing because of the way literature captures an alternate reality, while arts such as painting only give a glimpse into that world. I am currently attending an apprenticeship called Write to the Point, located at the Mark Twain House. I am going into my junior year at Cromwell High school. In my free time I really enjoy reading, drawing, or writing, music has also influenced my life quite a bit. In the further I hope to create a better world by inspiring others with my art.

I see you at your desk from day to day&nbsp; Sometimes your writing&nbsp; Sometimes your drawing&nbsp; Sometimes your reading&nbsp; But most of the time your playing video games&nbsp; I don’t like your video games&nbsp; But I do like laying on your keyboard&nbsp; Or your desk Especially to distract you I will even wave my tail in your face&nbsp; Minecraft is my favorite,&nbsp; You even have a cat named after me&nbsp; I like your cat in Minecraft&nbsp; But I hope you like me better I like Valorant too, I like sitting in front of your screen&nbsp; Perhaps your bad aim is because of me&nbsp; No I think you’re just bad&nbsp; I love you though&nbsp; Even if you’re bad at video games&nbsp;

We see fields of flowers And never question their beauty Even despite their differences Even in different shades and colors Or the shape of their petals They’re all beautiful to the human eye But why not humans? Even though we’re like flowers&nbsp;&nbsp; We are all different yet we’re judged relentlessly I think we are all like flowers We bloom, and grow in our own way Maybe we&nbsp;should start to view each other as beautiful Even despite our differences Just like flowers

Angela,&nbsp; You’ve kept me awake at night in fear of your safety. I recall the first light that brought us together, and I realize that light will inevitably kill us.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wonder when you’ll learn that you could change your destiny, it doesn’t have to be like this.&nbsp; I’m left to wonder,&nbsp; Will the light that brought us together let us leave together? Will the light let me die by your side? You leaped from crumbling cities to protect me, but somehow I’ve always felt that you were the one in need of protection.&nbsp; You told me once that everything happens for a reason, now I wonder; did you create that light or was it fate that brought us together? I think we did meet for a reason, but for what reason? You tell me you’ll always do what's best for me, I didn’t think that meant you’d put yourself on the frontlines to protect me. I fear that one day you’ll die in an attempt to save me.&nbsp; But what am I supposed to do without you? I think we both fear having to continue living in this world without one another.&nbsp; In a kinder world, I would hope to die in your arms. -Sincerely, Valentina

Valentina,&nbsp; I believe it was fate that brought us together, unfortunately I don’t believe I have the power that can bring people together.&nbsp; I’ve always believed the idea that I am cursed, somehow no one ever seems to stay for too long. It spiraled me into a depression, now I am left only to wonder if I was the reason they’re gone.&nbsp; I put your safety before my own because I know I can die content if I know your beautiful soul is still roaming the world. I put my faith in you to create a world for the better, even if I’m not included in that world.&nbsp; I think you have the power to thrive in this world without me, I want to stay by your side. But I know it is inevitable that we will have to separate eventually.&nbsp; I’m sorry.&nbsp; -Sincerely, Angela
