Today is the day
It is a special day for someone like me
I wake up and dress myself in my favorite color (which is orange)
went to have a delicious meal that satisfied my stomach
and then I continued my day with a smile on my face

Time passes
and I get a phone call from my lover
when I picked up the call
their voice sounded off
"I'm sorry..." she said with a wobbly voice
I assumed that she just forgot that today is my special day
"Aww it's ok, I knew you forgot but it's alright" I said cheerfully
"I want you to know that I still lo-" but then the phone line stopped

The evening came by quickly
and I knew what that the time has finally come
I'll finally obtain my special gift
and I'm excited to receive it soon
as I lay down in my bed
I hear a knock
and two men walked in and one of them told me "It's time to begin the special occasion" and I agree cheerfully
I walk with them to another room that had a glass wall between
I see my other loved ones behind the glass wall, and they were sitting down in chairs of rows and some of them were trying to avoid eye contact with me

There was one chair opposite of the glass wall
In my eyes, it was my throne
And when I sat down, I felt like a king
the two men stand next to me side by side
and one other man walked in with a piece of paper
the man looks at the paper and announced
"Today is the day where this man will put to rest once and for all
he is known for his horrendous crimes of several murders and will be put in the hands of death." he said

The two men strapped my hands onto my throne
and placed something on my head
I didn't know what rested on my head
but it felt like a crown to my name
one of them gripped onto a switch that was next to my throne
and then asked me
"Any last words ******?"
I looked forward into the crowd of faces of my loved ones
some of them had tears in their eyes
and some of them looked down to the ground
I look back at one of the men
and with a smile on my face, I said
"Thank you for giving me this gift"
I close my eyes
the switch goes off
and my special day comes into a shocking close
I tried to write a plot twist for this poem
Ejiro 18h
one small table
two chairs opposite of one another
a small pistol was on top of the table
and a small bullet was next to it
their was a timer on the wall
counting down every minute
two doors open
two men walk out of opposite doors
they sit in their seats
ready for the game to commence

(Round 1)
the first man takes the pistol, puts the bullet in, reloads, then sets the loaded pistol down
the moment the pistol touched the table
the second man quickly snatches it
points it to the first man’s head
and then pulls the trigger
but nothing came out
the first man didn’t say anything
he just stared at the other man with numbness in his eyes

(Round 2)
the second man picks the pistol up once again
doing the exact same thing
he pulled the trigger
this time the bullet shot out
but since he had very careless aim
he slightly missed his opponent
the bullet ended up grazing against the first man’s face
but he didn’t react to it
he still continued to stare
another bullet appears on the table again out of nowhere but no one questioned it

(Round 10)
time passed
round after round
the first man’s didn’t say a single word
bullet wounds were all over his body
but he didn’t move an inch
throughout the rounds
he never even picked up the pistol
he just sat there
as if he was waiting for something

(Round 25)
the final match has finally begun
the second man had a smirk on his face
since zero bullet wounds were on him
while the first man looked like a punching bag filled with holes
but he didn’t care
“to be honest, I really don’t get why you’re letting me win this game” the seconds man said
while reloading the pistol
the first man started to mumble his words quietly
“what did you say?” the second man questioned
the first man still continued to mumble his words
“hey I’m talking to you!” The second man said
he raised the pistol to the first man’s head
he pulls the trigger
no bullet comes out
“who said that I was gonna let you win?” the first man said
he quickly pulls out a knife from his pocket
leaps over the table and pulls the second man down
stabbing him 25 times
after he made sure the second man was dead
he removed the bullets from his body
his wounds start to regenerate quickly
leaving his skin looking untouched
he looks down at his dead opponent
“now who said bringing a gun to a knife fight would be a good idea?” he said

I’m self aware
And yet my brain sometimes leaves me in a unconscious state of mind
I have seen my wrongdoings played out before and it was not a pretty sight
But I also felt like some wrongdoings of mine have caused damage to my life and it’ll only be too late for me to realize it later on
I have become a judge of my actions
And a witness of what was played out

“What are we?” I asked her
“we’re something” she said as she holds my hand tightly
The next day at school, I see her again
She was kissing her boyfriend in the hallway
I turned around and walked away, before she saw me
Now I know the truth
We weren’t something; we’re nothing

I wanted to be an astronaut
You wanted to be dead
But in the end
I ended up deep underground
Away from the earth’s surface
While you became a star in the night sky
Becoming one with the universe
I can’t reach to you from where I lay
But I know that you’ve look down at me
with the cosmos on your shoulders

You lived my dream
And I became your destiny
Ejiro Dec 4
It’s been so long y’know
since I saw your face up close
to be honest I think I’m starting to forget what you look like day after day
but I’m still going to keep the good part of you inside me
In the beginning of our bond
you knew that you were a bad person and I only ended up realizing that little by little overtime
I tried my hardest to help you become a better person
and now you’re gone
not from this world
but from my world
you left me in a trance filled with questions of why I was never enough for you to change
My mind has become so numb now
my heart is still aching for answers to a person who wants nothing to do with me anymore
so with a heavy heart
and a numb mind
I came to a conclusion that you don’t miss me
but I do miss you

Even though I am currently 15 years old
In my head I feel like I have already fulfilled my childhood
I had the "birds and bees" talk
before I could even learn how to tie my shoelaces correctly
My parents made me learn several things
to help me face the real-world challenges like taxes and bills
before I could even know the difference between
a fraction and a decimal
I have also learned how certain people in society view woman
in a disgusting and draining point of view
so, when I finally got my period
and my mother said "I'm finally becoming a woman"
I felt like my intestines was swirling inside my stomach
so ever since then
when I wake up in the morning and see myself through a reflection
I can sense changes flowing through my body
and it terrifies me to the fullest extent
but I know that I can't stop it
Aside from my body changing over time
my mind has also changed a little bit
before I saw the world in pastel colors
even though I knew the true intentions
of what our world is becoming from which we stand on
but now I see the world with cracked lenses
but my perspective of society is becoming clearer and distraught
I know that I'm young
and if you were to compare me with the people
I hang out with before and after
you would probably think to yourself
"Wow she is so mature for her age"
but sometimes I wish my childhood was in a slow pace
who knows maybe if I were to wake up tomorrow
I might become twice my age without realizing
and If I were to blink twice
then wrinkles will start to appear on my face

The one thing I'm starting to regret now
Is wishing to become older when I was so young
and when I do reach adulthood
I'll start wishing to be youthful again
I don't know if I'm ready to reach my full capacity of womanhood
when I'm still daydreaming about nostalgia

You can say something quite horrible to a person
and that person had already heard those same words over and over again
like a radio station playing the same song on the radio
And no one likes to hear the same stuff repeated to them all day especially when they can’t change the subject to something worth hearing

“Nothing you do is awkward
or corny or even cheesy at most
everyone is brought to this earth
to have a great time
and expressing themselves to the fullest
not to worry about the opinion of the person next to them” she told me with a warm smile

I looked up at her for a second
And then realized why I enjoyed her presence
One of my friends told me if I found her awkward but she was such an angel in my eyes

you saw it too right, right?
it stands there in the corner
carrying every burden that dwells within your body but doesn’t want to leave it
that thing in the corner
it presents your fears, guilt, and trauma
it’ll whisper about conflicts that will never leave your mind that’ll linger in the back of your thoughts
if you were to stare at it for a while
it might go away
but then it will resurface at the worst time
it can take so many forms as it manifests
sorrow, emptiness, that deep emotion that weeps inside your chest
that thing will continue to lurk in the background within the depths of your life
If you want to take it head on into a battle
and take that step forward
you’ll only be filled with reminders of what haunts your mind when taking a few steps
within that time you’ll start to rethink that maybe making peace with it will just be elusive
but I believe you can do it
you see it, don’t you?
it sits in the corner waiting for you
take those few steps forward
and look at it in the eyes
even if looks daunting and morbid
you can’t let it strangle you with the hands of your past
it may be struggling for you but confront it is the only way to reclaim your control
gain back that sense of peace that was lost
you know that it’s there, right?
so face it

— The End —
