Autumn WindsAnonymous
The chill morning breeze blows right through my hair
My skin turning red because it is fair
Autumn Winds begin to blow
Colored Leaves fall high and low
Leaves flow through the air
They blow past my feet, and on to the street
Kids go out to trick or treat
In hopes of getting something sweet to eat
Eat a ton and have fun
But beware of the fear
Halloween is here.

A 3am Conversation With Myself
Daniela Francisci
I’ve never had a reason to hate my body.
When I was a kid they told me I was thin,
And isn’t that the ideal?
When I look at my reflection I don’t see it reflecting me,
Maybe it is, but I still ask:
“Who is she?”
Intake 300,
and run off 1000,
Step on the scale four times a day,
Cry into the mirror and see the real me,
The me who knows she can never be skinny.
“You look good, you must have lost some weight!”
Are you saying I was heavy in the first place?
Now that won’t do.
That won’t do.

Reflection
Anonymous
Salt air fills the world, moonlit skies take over the night
A chill follows me as I walk along the road
Thoughts consume me, spinning around my head
Is it really true, could it be?
The person I longed for wasn't them.
The loneliness that took over my thoughts
The feeling of being loved for myself
The cold air froze my thoughts
I was lost in a sea of emptiness
I was still searching.
Searching for the feeling of grace and acceptance
I stumbled upon a dirty broken mirror
I look inside the mirror and see a reflection
A reflection of light, happiness
A reflection of me.
