You are the song that's been stuck inside my head since I was a little girl
You are the fire of hope inside my heart and the fuel that keeps It going
There was a time when through my eyes, there was no longer beauty to see
Instead I stumbled through a black and white world a life I felt didn't belong to me questioning myself, and every decision I ever made
But now I'm grateful for every mistake
Every time I turned left instead of right I was just walking down the path that lead me to you
I walked into your world and that's it that warm and beautiful melody that spun inside my head
You erupted into colors that no man has seen before colors that were new and bright beautiful like landing on the moon for the first time and looking at the earth and the stars you are my universe.
A kind of beauty that only I know exists
The beauty you brought to me
You are my rainbow peeking through the rain always there even on the cloudiest days
You are the song that's been stuck inside my head since I was a little girl

Early Graduation Was Almost Not Worth It
There was no way I was going to make it through another year at this school. There was no way in hell that I could handle being herded into class rooms along with the other sheep. Sitting in hard plastic desks struggling to stay awake and fighting the endless daydreams in order to get work done that I didn't care about and knew I would never do again after school had ended. I'll never need to calculate a hypotenuse or annotate a text again. I couldn't handle another year of eating the flavorless food that almost seems to purposely make students irritable and lethargic. I couldn't handle any more budget cuts to my art and cooking classes. I couldn't handle reading The Catcher in the Rye again. I couldn't handle a third principal coming in and disrupting what I had become accustomed to for the third time. In fact I am not the only student who feels this way. Since I've been in high school there have been countless protests and 2 walk outs, one of which happened just last week because to us, nobody seems to care about us and what we need when it comes to our education.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
