The Bridge That Remembered Me

Long ago, before the roads were paved and the cities grew tall, there was a little stone bridge that crossed a restless river. People used it every day. Children skipped across it. Old friends met in the middle. Families crossed together. The bridge knew every footstep by heart. T

Lullaby

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared one of these. Sometimes a poem isn’t written to tell a story. Sometimes it’s written to capture a feeling. This one is about the quiet kind of love. The kind that doesn’t ask for attention… It simply becomes home. Lullaby by Kevin W. Sim

Exposure Therapy

What is fear? Fear is being in the middle of the ocean with no boat, no life jacket, and no land in sight. Fear is being buried beneath a crashing wave of insects and creepy creatures, unable to escape. Fear is visceral. It lives in the gut. It speeds up your heart. It shortens yo

Journal: Team Courtney v Team Madison

Chapter 1 — The Balancing Act The funny thing about college is that nobody teaches you how to manage freedom. They teach you chemistry. They teach you calculus. They teach you how to write a research paper. But nobody teaches you what to do when life suddenly gives you more choices t

The Complaint of a Faithful Man

The Complaint of a Faithful Man A Soliloquy Speak plainly, Lord. I grow weary of riddles. Weary of signs. Weary of symbols. Weary of lessons wrapped inside lessons. If the answer is no—say no. If the answer is yes—say yes. But do not leave me standing upon a shoreline…

Will You Catch Me?

Will you catch me when I notice you’ve changed and say nothing at all? Will you catch me when I memorize the distance before the fall? Will you catch me when I start shrinking myself to make loving me small? Will you catch me? Will you catch me when I stop asking questions I’m afraid yo

Will You Jump?

Will you jump when I tell you I’m not as fearless as I seem? Will you jump when I admit I’ve hidden behind strength longer than I’d like to believe? Will you jump when I confess that being the strong one gets lonely too? Will you jump? Will you jump when I tell you I don’t always know w

Chapter 1 — Ghost Town Christmas break turns college towns into ghost towns. One day there are thousands of students everywhere. The next day they’re gone. Parking lots empty. Dorm windows dark. Hallways silent. Even the traffic seems to disappear. The Super 8 wasn’t any dif

Chapter 1 — The Super 8 Nobody dreams about starting college in a Super 8 Motel. When people tell stories about college, they talk about dorm life. Roommates. Football games. Student unions. The first week on campus when everyone is trying to figure out who they want to become. Nobody talk

Dear Mrs. Poet

I live in the present. I know how crazy it sounds. But when my heart identifies the right person, place, or thing, I want those nouns. Not someday. Not eventually. Right now. Immediately. Day after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, after day, I wrote to my

My Therapist Taught Me Integration

I had a dream, Corińa. I walked into an office unlike any I had ever seen. The room felt familiar, yet impossible to place. One wall was lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves filled with books that appeared older than time itself. Another wall was made entirely of glass, overlooking a ho
