The Anti Edit -Anthony Lakes

It'd be a serious lie to say that this wasn't fun to make. It'd also be a lie to say that it's super worth your time to watch. But it'd be the biggest lie to say that this is serious in any way. Enjoy.

The Fall and the Fallen

The piercing pitch   Struck the air   Breaking   The still silence of   The Hot summer afternoon affair Woken from her   sunny slumber   She fumbled for the phone   Grasping it close To one ear   Unable   to hold on   Or Push through the fear The voice became distant, mute Clanging to the ground   With tears trailing   In quick pursuit   All she could do was   stumble through   One last, and final, A simple, I love you.   Till death do us part They had whispered   As vows eagerly escaped   Their anxious lips   A promise made true   But both still too young To have it follow through   The encroaching Amber waves   Licked the steep hillside   Lapping up the last   Of the safe spot   That the grassy wake   Did provide   With eyes closed   He mouthed hushed Goodbyes ...

Upon Leaving School (Twice), Losing My Mother, and Finding Roots

Upon Leaving School (Twice), Losing My Mother, and Finding Roots Momma always told me to ‘ bloom where I was planted’ , but after looking back on the last three years, I’d have to say I’ve subsisted more as a roving tumbleweed, constantly blowing about the barren lands in search of anything that could hold me in place just long enough for the winds to switch, sweeping me off in yet another direction. The day I marched into the living room, voice shaking, stomach upturned, and told my parents that I would not be going back to Gonzaga, was the day I took the first step down my own path. I had spent my freshmen year at GU. I had been a zag, lining up for hours or days on end to secure some of the best seats in the gym to cheer on our boys. How I got there was fairly random and held no water for me, but it seemed like a good place to go, and it was universally approved by everyone that kept tabs on me. So, it was where I ended up.   When I decided I wasn’t go...
