The Pain
by Oliver Kleyer

happy faces and masked faces,
supportive faces and delusive faces.

Rush of Motivation
by CJ The Tall Poet
A mesmerizing gang of banshees

but I had felt no pain
Instead a tiny amount of energy
Was ingrained into
My mind
My heart
And my fingers
Winter Sunlight
by Rosalie Hendon
Winter sunlight is better than nothing
Like a cup of tea, weak and lukewarm
from its second steeping
