The Catcher in the Rye found poem by Niko McLaughlin

Tonight

I don’t feel very much like myself tonight
If you really want to hear about it
I was so damn worried
It was too late to call up for a cab or anything
I can’t understand
Some things are hard to remember
The first thing I did was I felt like giving someone a buzz
I realized it was only one chance in a million

You want to know the truth?
It was very phony
I felt so depressed, you can’t imagine
I felt like I was disappearing
Standing on the edge of some crazy cliff
Boy I felt miserable
That’s why, in my mind, you shouldn’t ever tell anybody anything
You start missing everybody

I miss Allie

The leaf picture was taken on one of the first cold days of the season. The leaves and grass were covered in frost which sparkled like gems in the sunlight.

The portrait is based off of the song "Stressed Out" by 21 Pilots because the lead singer of the band covers his hands and neck in charcoal when preforming.

This represents chaos versus order. The heart represents the order
which is centered between all of the chaos. The way to look at this
art piece is to think about society and the balance between order and
chaos. If there were no chaos there would be no need for order and
without order there would be too much chaos. There is enough balance
in this piece that it attracts your eye to the center and then allows
you to move throughout to get the full effect.


Sleepwalking by Miya Laughlin



My mother told me it would go away
I’d grow out of it
wake up
Sleepwalking is for children
And I am not a child
Too old for dress up
Too young for dress suits
  wake up
I walk alone
My subconscious takes over
Mind blank
Body a ghost of last night’s dream
    wake up
This walking corpse isn’t me
I walk
forward
Wednesday into Thursday
    skips to Saturday
Moonlight or rays of sun
     wake up
Who is this
This shell of a person
What is left of her
              wake up
Everything that defined her now extinct
Her mother never told her that her worst nightmare can turn into reality
