ode
by Jordan Kit
I want to tell the world how so many junk-headed youth are failed saints and struggling seekers. Who will tell the story of the people who slide through the cracks?
I saw a boy cry as he read the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He said he finally understood. But he was just a boy—just a boy when a week later he was nearly thumped free of his mortal coil for a shortchanged deal....

enemies
by Kristin Leprich
Lie there, still, and live a little longer:
Words I would love to give you, a fool who
Can’t see how the world conspired to
Get us both here without views of traitors.
It’s safe to say you ruined their order,
For sea waves are being stained, red from blue
And the mountains just don’t know what you threw
Over the edge and into the slaughter.

goodbye
by Brittany Leitner
You don’t talk enough in the morning. I look outside and tell you it’s been snowing It’s beautiful, all is white and you can’t see that anything like cars or mailboxes ever existed
You must see it, I say, you roll over and look at me with eyes that say It snows every day I might stay home next weekend
And you will go away But if you will just hold me once more as we fall...

There’s a method to picking herbs you grow yourself; you hold the stem with one hand and you pluck the leaves you need from the ends of the stems, leaving as much of the shoot intact as possible (unless it’s one of those herbs like thyme, where the stem is a required accessory). Take what you need, take nothing more.
My mother always told me that you should bury a penny by...

for all our new followers - this is what we're all...
This is the sad truth: Real people lack a voice in the media.
Real artists, fashionistas, musicians, and writers - they are nowhere to be found on the newsstands.
And so here is where Vitality: the Magazine comes in.
We are the voice for the ordinary person with an extraordinary talent. The waitress that writes poetry and novels deep into the night after an 8-hour shift...

Sacred fruit of legend
Golden and ripe
Rich from growing with time
They hang tight
Strong nimble arms
Until gently plucked from their resting place
Or the days pass by
And they are too old
No longer shiny and brilliant
Reflecting the sun’s shining rays
Like the glint of a broken shard
Left on the ground
Unattended and shattered
One knows they are youthful and filled with joy
When bit...
