Emotions have always controlled people. I liked to think of myself as different. Different enough to where logic ruled my opinions rather than emotions. Yet deep down I know that anger and happiness fight over how I feel on things. They bicker, scream, converse, or flat out steal the thought. Puppies are happy. Cats are happy. Chocolate cake is happy. Watermelon is happy. Public speaking is anger....
I think I just met the happiest person in the world. Even though I can see she is truly terrified. Even though I can see her hesitation in the things she says, actions she does, and the things she hears. She’s happy though. That’s what they all say, when deep down they are suffering from what the future may hold. She’s so happy because the future may grow in unbelievable ways and grant her many po...
As I look up I see Michelle standing in the doorway in complete shock. I can’t believe I did it. I am covered in his blood. No, no, no, I can’t be. I said I would never do what he did to everyone else. I messed up badly this time and I don’t think I can get out of this one. To be fair he came after me again, I have a restraining order against him, so does my daughter, plus he’s supposed to be in j...
This water feels wonderful on my skin. The coolness washing over old and new wounds a like. Every day I fight to live, even fight just to breath, but here I am in a beautiful pool of light green. I know it can be dangerous but I want to finally let go of everything else in my mind and just be in the moment. I can definitely say that this is a moment I would love to hold dear to my heart till the ...
The way she smiled at everyone with such gentleness is what made me start to fall for her. Everyone I ever get close to get hurt majorly or dies in some violent way. All I have ever wanted was to be close to someone, close enough to know I am loved. But loved in the sweet way where you are told just how beautiful you are in the morning light as you sink a cup of coffee or just the look in their ey...
My world is going to kill me. The moment I woke up here I had to run for my life. Some creature was chasing me, looked like it was going to eat me in all honesty. They always told us this world would be based off of if we were good people and I was, I swear. I mean at least I thought I was. I got the perfect grades, I never got detention or anything like that, I was always nice to people even if I...
One step in front of the other, grab the hilt of the knife, follow the orders given to us. I have been blending in for the past three years as one of them. The day you are born you are raised in a warehouse like home and the day you turn sixteen you will become like the rest. Everyone does as they are told without a question. Some of the things we have done are awful. I mean they have had us elimi...
There he stood, just at the tree line covered in the blood of my warriors. I hate what he has done but I would, and will, do the same as he has done here today. No matter how many warriors I lose in this forest and no matter how much that should make me hate him, even fear him, I will not. When he isn’t holding his sword to the throat of his enemies he is truly the sweetest man I have ever met. I ...
The commoners will never fully understand why being raised in a castle is a down fall. We are always protected, leaving us naive to the world and just how poorly the rest of our people are doing. I will never let my brother rule this kingdom with his selfish thoughts. He will be the ruin of this place. I may not be much greater but at least I know I want to learn about the people. Truly, I want to...
