Dear Readers and Contributors,

 

I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank you all for the continuous love and support, especially through the pandemic. In just under 6 months, we’ve come so far; the magazine has been featured on Publish YOUth Writing and Poets & Writers, and the editorial team reached a whooping milestone of 100+ Advice Articles written! As we continue grow our global outreach, we’ve published over 280 creators from 25 U.S. States, 25 countries, and 6 continents across the world! 

 

It’s been a pleasure growing this community over the past three years, so I know I speak for the entire editorial board when I say we hold this magazine and our contributors close to our hearts. It takes a tremendous amount of research and effort to manage the magazine, which is why we're so thankful for all of your support. We encourage you to share our publications and Advice Articles to help our other young creators who may be interested in pursuing their craft.

 

Cheers,

Lori Khadse

Rebellion 

Written by Anon

 

 

Sometimes I wonder,


On my bed, all alone.


In a dull mountain of thoughts,


There lay a single, shimmering stone.


In a grand forest fire,


There grows a lone tree, untouched.


On a girl’s charm bracelet,


There hangs a rebellious heart, refusing to rust.


In the vast, blue sky,


A cloud will carelessly float by,


And bathed under an ocean of moonlight,


The night will still remain dark, at heart.


Despite the odds, rebellion can still be found.


It’s amazing how,


In a sea of profound


yet common beliefs,


The rebellion still hasn’t drowned.
