I write things.

I'm a creative writing student and this blog is a place for me to post what I've written. I was fifteen when I first wrote some of these, I'm 21 now and have (hopefully) improved somewhat! Please feel free to comment and critique.

Icarus

There was a stranger on the roof
who said that when he fell,
wings would blossom from his back.
He said that God would reach out
and catch him on the palm of his hand.

"Seeing is believing," he said.

So we saw
as ribbons ripped
from his body, and when
the concrete reached up to break his fall,
we believed.
