The Window Chime
The coldness between days,
And some people would say,
"What is so bad?"
They don't see things my way.
The screams, the pain,
They say all it is is time,
And all night as the clock ticks by,
I hear distress and the window chime.
I see the past.
They say I'm being stupid,
I know I am lost,
Lost in a world polluted.
But how could that be,
The world I see,
It feels so real,
It always has to me.
Whether I am on earth
Or in this new place,
All the time, the window chime
Singing at its own pace.
Slow, confusing,
And they don't understand
How it is to be me,
Living in my own fairly land.
Floods of tears,
Counting the years,
The years go by and still I ask why,
Why are there so many fears?

The Exam
I understand why the warmth is so important.
When there is no rain
I know why it is we have to have rain.
The reason we fall
Is to pick ourselves up.
We fail
So that we can learn.
We lose
So we can keep safe.
We cry
So we can understand true happiness.
We die
So we know what it is to truely live.
I don't know about anyone else
But isn't life like everything else.
It is the biggest test,
We learn, we fall,
We cry.
And if life is a test,
There is something after the exam,
Something rewarding and greater.
All tests we learn,
We revise,
We practice,
We will fail
Until we get it right.
It is then when see
That the test is so easy,
We open the envelope
The mixture of expectation,
Worry and mystery.
We may fail,
But everyone still loves us,
We may pass,
If you do the right thing
Then the test becomes easy,
But either way
The end of that
And something far greater is beyond.

Deep Red Velvet
It had been a long day, and these days had come far to often. It felt like no one really cared about her anymore. Everyone had been getting more and more distant from her, as though they were sitting on a splitting ice burg and she had been sitting on the other side of the split, all on her own, both parts moving in the opposite direction from each other.
It felt worse everyday of that week, no one she could talk to, though her friends all knew that she was cutting herself, she still couldn't take much seriously and just tried to avoid those situations with these people.
The days continued where there is nothing left good to see, and all negative thoughts taking control. Nothing could have gone worse, other than the thought that life is completely pointless and the continuous feeling that no one actually cares and no one would miss her after death. But was it true, nothing could convince her otherwise, and no one ever seemed to help, especially in the most desperate of situations.
It felt like the ice burg had completely melted away, drifting into warmer seas, where everything starts to melt and everything feels more exposed, the other half staying as strong as it had started off with, and that one girl, floating in the ocean, no protection, no one to help her, and the drifting away that never wanted to end, forever trapped in the sea, and everyday, that feeling rose inside of her, with everyone else, safely finding land, and for her, surrounded by sharks, only one thing could help.
And although it doesn't solve any problems, it helps get over the stress and the overwhelming emotions that flooded her head in negative feelings, and the overpowering sensation to lock away the emotions and be filled with slight feelings of joy and gaining control again for that short period of time.
The desire to be back to where she was flooded in her mind, though she had tried to prevent any harm to herself, she couldn't stop. Talking to a toy helped in some situation where she could get everything off of her chest, but it came too much.
And so it happened, with the strong sensation that it was the only option, blood poured out from her arm, like a deep red velvet.
The stinging sensation from it was bearable, calming her down slightly, and as she calmed down enough, bandaged the cut.
Though calmed down, the pain never really escaped her, it had been pushed back for another day, to come back and haunt her.
And yet, she still couldn't talk to the people she was close to, nothing went right, nothing was right.
Tears of fear poured down her face, back to the beginning, back to the ice burg. Back to that split in the ice.
Sam the Onion
Once upon a time there was an onion. He was a nice onion, but there was something about him that made him different. He was one of those onions that liked to go on adventures. No other onion would even dream of going on an adventure, too dangerous they say. This onion was called Sam. Yes, it is an odd name for an onion, usually they would be called Bill, Jeremiah or even Kevin. One day it was announced that the princess onion was kidnapped, Sam suddenly thought, 'I must go and save the princess.' It was made clear that the most evil of onions, the mighty red onion, had kidnapped her. He wanted the princess to be traded for the mighty red onion to rule the land, Oniontopia. Sam set off on the adventure with only a carrot sword and a potato slice shield. On this adventure he met many and saw much he learnt of the mighty red onion's whereabouts and set off to go to him. He had an army, Sam needed an army so he requested that the king gave him one, he also told the king to not let his kingdom go. So he kept the kingdom, still very worried about his daughter and let Sam have the army he needed. On the journey he had to fight, he had to lose onions but he had to keep moving forward. Eventually, he reached the tomato soup volcano. And it was there that time changed. The war began, Sam had to find his way to the centre, so using his skills, he killed the red onions and got through, the war still raged, Sam got to the dungeon where the princess was being held. He freed her. If Sam was the onion legends spoke of, the princess and himself could save the kingdom and defeat the mighty red onion. Together they fought to get to the mighty red onions lair and then the real battle begun. The sword of onion legends came to them and they were able to fight the might red onion properly. Swing after swing, hit after hit. They were focused and with their fear, they fought their way to victory. All of the onion land cheered and everything was back to normal. All was happy and the princess and Sam married and had lots of onions. They made good soup. The End.
