Hey! I’m just a troubled girl who deals with the struggles of being a teenager through writing. All while listening to Ghost for hours on end and editing my novel.

I
Am allowed
To feel things
You don’t know of
I am allowed to love
To dream, to achieve, to excel
I change the course of your path
The one you pushed me towards so hard
Harsh currents can’t bring me down as I dig
For freedom to be myself, to travel to different oceans
You will never be Mother Nature, no matter what you say
I will always defy you while the wind guides me forward
As I no longe...
I awake not with a bang, not with a whimper, but rather a long steaming tongue scraping its way up my cheek. Thick saliva sticks to my skin like glue. The presence of thick, curly fur caresses my skin.
“Hey, buddy! Who’s a good boy?” I coo. I open my eyes, and both sensations quickly disappear. My hands grasp air, my cheek untouched.
I look over at my dresser and see a collar and a picture of my...
I regained consciousness after a long nap against a tree. The sky had become a watercolor painting with purples, pinks, oranges, and yellows blended together. It was morning when I first arrived.
I’d made my escape from the chains of home, ventured to something greater. Having no clues as to what this thing may be, I let chance take me where it desired. Anything beat having to take care of five y...
A package arrived in the mail today addressed to me. I opened the cardboard flaps to find a handheld fan and a handwritten letter.
The yellowed paper read:
_Dearest Anya,_
_After fifteen years of searching, I have finally found you. I know you’re all grown now, learning new things and being the most extraordinary girl to ever grace this Earth. Meanwhile, I remain confined in the borders of R...
A girl enters the library, slumped shoulders, eyes looking at the ground. Her hair, clothes, and makeup are raven black.
She waves to the librarian before making her way to the table across from me.
Her headphones are blasting metal music, the horrifying cacophony turning heads.
I make my way to tell her to turn the thing down, maybe remind her there are better fashion choices she could be maki...
I am a spirit.
And I crave vengeance.
It doesn’t matter who I kill, who gets in the way. As long as I can closer to the people who have wronged me.
My next victim is quite young. Her blonde hair is curled in loose ringlets. Her skin like porcelain. She reaches on the highest shelf as I creep up behind her, my footsteps soundless in the night. My hands just touch her back when she says, “Hello ...
I wake to a world of pure white, bound to a table. Creatures with grey flesh surround me. Their beady black eyes light up with interest.
“Our specimen, she is awake,” the one to the right of me says.
“What?” I cry out. My arms try and wrestle from the restraints. A small beep sounds, and the restrains tighten. “Are you going to cut me open? Experiment on me?”
“No, we are not,” The one on my lef...
“No, absolutely not. I have not been feeling well as of late and as a result my magic has gone haywire. Last time I tried it I had to live upside down for a day!” Raven protested.
“But I need you!” Amina pressed forward, following her into the kitchen.
“I said no!”
“Please.”
“No! I am sick, and I need to rest.”
Amira closes the door behind her before she says, “Sylva has only a month to live....
The world has preached
Of love
Since the beginning of time
Yet I stand
In the mirror
Streaks of shadow
Dripping down
The poems
The novels
The movies
The witnessing of others
Finding their promised one
It all is one show
Put on to mock me
Because they believe
That in the light of intimacy
I will forever be left in the dark
And I cannot help but shake
Crumble to nothing
As I fear this may...
