Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #334

I need to take a walk into the fields to run my mind relaxly. My mother told me it was ok to take a walk but warned me not to speak to strangers. The rules were to go walk and come back. For some reason my story went a little differently.. I needed a day to myself where I could see clear on a road. Though I wasn’t driving enough my legs had to be in some type of activity. My best activity was walking the way. I asked my mom if I could go take a walk through the trails in the same direction towards a pond nearby. She always said “ I know y...

Conundrum

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #329

Conundrum So what I’m seeing is a mirror with the reflection of two people. Why am I standing here alone with no one else around?. I can see this second person clearly who kind of resembles me on the side of me. This is too much to try to handle. I need to make an exit to my next spot in the house, or should I say this touchy place?. My eyes seek my pretty purr cat, “good morning my precious baby” as I replied. I go near some stairs & while walking I hear BOOM! No way that was a gunshot towards me, and if so it missed its intended ta...

Just Move

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #328

Maybe if he would’ve taken a deep breath, this all could’ve been solved. If he could’ve just stuck it out maybe his limit wouldn’t have been tested for major destruction. All he wanted was little sake for crying out loud. Hearing a deep voice scream out loud “ I can’t.. I hate it.. I would kill to give it all down,” I heard sorrow not knowing if he could ever walk on earth for tomorrows, but this man was not clever. The smallest thing he said turned to the hardest dread. I never knew an angry man to have such a beautiful garden with the best...

Look At Here

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #327

Omg! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… note flying through the air with an important message labeled to whom?. This what seems to be my name on this envelope as my fingers slightly tore across the top pulling out a letter stating Dear pretty girl, Your dreams are on board,& they are showing very hard. Your goal is to make sure you are set in a perfect mindset, and a well balanced mindset. I invite you to the first annual juggle fair. Now I know you're probably thinking it’s about you dealing with feelings making you feel noticed. Th...

You Keep Your Heart

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #325

If I take this walk to clear everything up, & by any means if this method works.. I will never go back to my original schedule. Something needs to come over my head to help guide me, help keep that reminder, help set that boundary between this,& that. I’m going to start by walking down this long street called brittle road, which crosses curiosity ave. I see the cutest rabbit that pops out, I wanna call him Henry. We started walking and came across a tree, then all of sudden BOOM! The tree hit the street, as I screamed “ahhh that shit...

Dive In

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #324

Yes! There she goes on her journey to being the most beautiful, successful, smartest, brightest, fulling, etc person to be. Knowing life comes with bundles, we need to provide each stack a rubber band. Can google express details on how to begin to start a new hobby? Something that was never done before. One of the first options was swimming. Swimming? Meaning hair getting wet, meaning I could possibly run into anything on the sea floor nope! Can’t do it won’t try it. Comparing other situations mixed in with other ones you never know what to ...

Luv Me For My Ambition

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #322

Luv Me For My Ambition They tried, they tried so hard. I know life throws us melons, but at times we catch it like it’s apples. There’s a person at the moment who is looking for stability,& luck. Not quite knowing what it is exactly they need, but they want comfortability. Sometimes looking for what we want isn’t always the best route. Yes we know what we want for ourselves, sad to say the world isn’t wrapped up on us personally. How can they get stability? Living in uncomfortable situations is a start. There’s a person in a home reachi...

Woods talk

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #320

If I had to wake up to stare up at the sky, where would I be standing from? Of course my home, but my mind wants to wander off into deep conversations, I’m ready to take a walk. I need to figure out how I’m going to make some money. I need to organize my daily plans going into my future. I need to jot down a lot of these ideas, but I need to first see how this will work. How can I get the money? The new generation makes it so easy to find money. As I’m walking,& walking I’m coming across this trail. The first sign I noticed was seeking a...

Yours Truly

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #319

Yours Truly Good morning I don’t understand. Question? Am I the only one who sits down when it’s a party? I got invited to a get together. It wasn't my type of crowd. I came in,& smiled at every drunk face in the room. I got tapped on the shoulder for being attractive but they said some about me didn’t seem active. I came to this party thinking that my outside life will fit some type of match for my sake. Instead it showed I should’ve never came. I knew 3 people inside who looked at me like I was from the outside looking through their di...

NO SLEEP

Ki Shepard

NO SLEEP I had the right amount of time to figure myself out. Now, I’m not going to tell you how long it took or was I even timing myself, but good timing is always the time. Speaking of time I need to be a little bit more.. just a tiny bit more considerate of time when it comes around. Yeah sad fact to admit I abuse it. I would look at time and let it go by. It’s on my own but I self abuse it still. That’s why I miss out on opportunities thinking that the time will go slower for me. Who am I? I missed out on so much by staying up. I wa...

Return Of Vision

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #311

Return Of Vision I just wonder? Do you ever? Think of me anymore.. Is what I asked them. Not everything we vent on is always based on relationships, but always manage to talk about love. Since being a single woman I could never find the right opinion in my mind to argue over. Since I am a woman I can debate straight off the mind. Like for this topic, coming across my favorite dress black see through, versus a pink ripped top. I need to pull myself closer to the one that’s going to pull me out of pretty and place it in my face. My indecis...

JUST DREAMIN

Submitted to Contest #308

Just Dreamin If it couldn’t be the perfect day! Can someone switch it to that mode? I mean having to wake up the next morning from previous trauma of some sort, & memories bouncing all around from it in my brain, for a moment I thought my heart just said fuck it.. it wasn’t in a mood to respond. But no it was legit, I still didn’t feel it. So listen carefully to this. Our words are our words, but our thinking shows off to everyone. Mhmm why do I say that? It’s the main reflection, but right now I’m reading minds, but I can’t hear a so...

Goodbye From My Hello

Ki Shepard

Submitted to Contest #306

I guess this journey was long enough for me to say goodbye, let me explain. It started off from my childhood, not knowing I was never beautiful or gorgeous like others said, but like usual I agreed to it. Sigh.. to my future self it’s ok to not agree with the disagrees, though it’s plenty of other options of diguisments I know next time what’s good for me. Not once have I ever questioned myself what’s needed for an improvement, that’s another blame to throw at me. I’m starting to understand the moment of silence I finally endured, goodbye t...
