I chase fading rainbows in the night, Grasping fantasies with desperate might.
With each turn, a realm of make-believe,
where shadows twist, and I deceive.
Lost in my dreams, Where laughter fades to silent streams.
with a heart weighed down, I search for a way,
In this haunting, delusional display.
Through fractured glass, I seek my truth, Each reflection fleeting,
like lost youth. In every shard, a shattered view,
Of broken dreams I pursue.
I chase echoes whispering in the dark, Finding hope in a fragile spark.
With every twist, another illusion released,
In this endless tunnel, peace never ceased.
Trapped in a cave of lies, Where reality dims beneath tear-stained skies.
With a heart heavy with sorrow, lost in the swirl,
In this bleak, delusional world.
My mind wanders through this tangled maze, Visions distorted, in a sorrowful daze.
In each fragment, a truth remains unclear,
In this broken world, where hope disappears.
Alone I wander in this fragile state, in this world where reality and dreams elevate.
With every turn, hoping for clarity anew, In this kaleidoscope world,
where dreams fall through

Biography:

My name is Taylor Rehurek, and I’m currently attending Aims Community College as part of the class of 2025. I chose Aims because it offers a strong foundation for students who want to explore their passions while staying close to home and managing real-life responsibilities. I’m passionate about writing, storytelling, and expressing complex emotions through creative work. One of my proudest accomplishments is my short story With a Side of Syrup, a heartfelt and honest piece that explores themes of resilience, growing up, and the quiet moments that define us. Through my time at Aims, I’m developing both the academic skills and personal voice I’ll carry with me into the next chapter of my life.
