103. Elastic Potential

by Kea Campbell

My peanut butter eyes on caramel silk skin.
Butterflies flutter—folding in and famished—
beating and bowing before my bile-slick stomach.
Flirting with my heart—an empty love, lost and lame.

Pupils glued to my toes,
a sight caught in the corner of my vision—
bleeding blurry.
Fain to find myself blighted thin.
Shadows march through my veins—

Une fleur.

by Brianna LeBlanc

La fleur est rouge,
La fleur est bleue,
Et l’autre fleur est jaune…
Mais, qu’en est-il de la fleur qui a ne pas une couleur?
Est-ce qu’il est ne pas beau?
Ou ne pas bien pour les yeux?

TANT PIS.

Je m’en fiche,

Whispers of Self-Discovery: Rewriting the Narrative

by Lea-Pearl Njei

I walk with a regal grace, chest lifted high,
A face radiant, capturing every wandering eye.
Curiosity dances in the air, whispers and stares,
They all crave to know the tale that my presence declares.

Some approach with kind wishes, others with intent to break,
But I meet their efforts with laughter, for what's a smile but a fleeting take?
Yet as I retreat to my room's cocoon of solitary,
I realize my aloneness, my facade of confidence now temporary.

Spring

by Bhawana Yadav

For the longest time, I thought I knew what it was
like the spring after a chilly winter
brushing snowflakes from your jacket and wishing for those daisies to bloom
maybe it was the platonic turn of poles
and the fate busted as the mighty, scorching, ruthless ball of fire
destroyed the spirit of little daisies
you were no less than that blistering weather
leaving me demented
you walked away
after a bizarre show of vulnerabilities

LOVE YOURSELF

by Gayatri Puri

Sometimes,
It's okay to no
It's okay to be alone,
It's okay to be own.
Just look at the mirror and realise,
It's time to put people aside
And be idealised.
It's time to choose yourself first,
It's time to love yourself first.

Detention

by Somali Mukherjee

Who can detain me?
Unless I allow myself?
It's all right in here...

72. Hesitantly, I asked

by Kea Campbell

Hesitantly, I asked,
"Will you be mine?"

I want to love you during every phase; in fact, I always have.
Through persisting sickness and prosperous health.
Through devastating tragedies and fruitful fortune.
Through hopeless wanders and sincere belongings.

I don't look past your flaws; in fact, I know them well.
I hear tiredness in your voice, because you spent too much energy on others.

49. What Could Be

by Kea Campbell

I know you didn't notice how cold I easily become,
But it's because of the world in my head,
Where it's just the two of us.

I know you aren't aware of all of you that there is to love,
But if you were to take a moment and look through my eyes,
You'd realize that you are worth more than everything you will ever want.

I know I haven't come to terms yet, that we are both too young,
But I'm going to stay here a little longer,

The Alien's Embrace

by Dhritiraj Das

Walking down the giant road
Lights ever bright, beings unknown
I'm the alien, displaced and lone
In this strange realm I can't call home

Adrift in a sea where I'll never belong
Peering at fractured reflections, feeling so wrong
But then a few souls, with welcoming grace
Reached out to this alien, fashioned a place
