Blank canvas she's become No darkness, but no dawn No sunlight in the sky She's unremarkable The echo of a voice A memory in your mind

Just Breathe. Top Story - March 2024.
Breathe in. It hurts, I know. You feel the pain pulsing in your rib cage, spilling over the edges of your day and pooling at the bottom of your gut.

Watcher Of The Night
This poem was originally written for a contest held by the Florida Scholastic Press Association and won 3rd place. I was 17 or 18 at the time. The notes by the judges included praise with only one critique: "Not good to use religion in a school contest." As a senior in high school, I entered it into The META Interdisciplinary Journal by Saint Petersburg College where it first appeared in print. The META Journal has since gone out of print. I now submit "Watcher of the Night" to Vocal for one last chance at immortalizing this work which has meant so much to me over the years. I am thankful to Vocal Media for giving me this platform to express myself and my art freely.

Warriors (Again)
For the teachers who saw the potential in us that we couldn't see in ourselves, for the families that had our backs, and for the friends that kept us going. Lastly, for my former classmates and fellow Warriors. This is one is for you. -With Love, Sonya

Spiritual Compatibility
We've all heard the slogan, "opposites attract." You know, the whole 'we complete each other' and all that jazz. Dating someone who is different from us can often strengthen our relationship. There are benefits to finding a mate who has strengths where our weaknesses lie. So the question becomes, is there such thing as too different?

Dear Sixteen-Year-Old Me
Dear sixteen-year-old me, I know you think you're just waiting for your life to begin, you keep saying to yourself that first you have to graduate high school, figure out a career path to follow, and somewhere along the way you're going to get married to your amazing boyfriend and live happily ever after.
