What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Exhaustion

I’m running, running,
Running –
Losing breaths I never took,
Gasping for unattainable air
In a place void of triumph.
My slipping grasp on the crevice of sanity
Is all that keeps me from
Total deterioration.
Exhaustion has consumed me.
Fatigue has plagued me.
There is only so much that
One pair of shoulders can bear
Before the weight of the world
Eradicates what is left
Of my weakened confidence.

I’m slowing, dragging,
Stopping.
I can’t –
I just can’t do this anymore.

    That was depressing. Really well-written, unfortunately really relatable, but so incredibly depressing...

    Quite good, I like. "Losing breaths I never took" is my favorite. Good job. The ending is nice too
