The stage lights, a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues, painted Amora Jackson's face in a spectrum of brilliance. The roar of the crowd, a wave of adoration, washed over her as she belted out the final note, her powerful voice echoing through the arena. She was Amora, the Siren, a name whispered in awe by millions. Tonight, the world was her oyster, her voice a shimmering pearl.

But the euphoria that u...

[I’ll try to stop writing about it after this. It’s just been rough. We’ll see I guess.]

The girl at the sink won’t roll up her sleeves

Hoping and praying that nobody sees

Covered

She laughs with her friends pretending it’s fine

They don’t know she’s dying inside

A mask

Alone in her room where colors fee muted

Battling the thoughts that whisper “just end it”

Depression

Now these li...

"Matthew?" I call out in the empty room. He is usually first to get to the room, so this is a surprise. I frown and switch on the light. I sit on the cold, hard, concrete ground for at least 5 minutes.

I look at the bag in my lap. It's only, worn out, but hold our precious treat. A bag with 6 green, 6 yellow Warheads. I was only going to use one of each tonight, that is, if he shows up.

I sigh a...

Aidan had always prided himself on his keen sense of intuition, a trait that served him well in his line of work as a private investigator. One rainy evening, as he made his way home through the narrow, cobbled streets of his city, he noticed a woman standing under a streetlamp. She was dressed in a long, dark coat, her face partially hidden by a wide-brimmed hat. Something about her posture, the ...

I finally mustered up the courage and texted Jordin.

I sighed.

Jim is an ordinary young man who works for a company, his daily life is like two points and one line. He works hard to make his life better and easier.

Jim has been dating someone new, her name is Juliana. They quickly fall in love after their second meeting in the library. From that day on, Jim cares about Juliana, and Juliana cares about Jim; they are the happiest they have been in a l...

That seems odd.

It’s like a fraud.

Missing for days at a time.

Causing me to whine.

No explanation.

No relaxation.

No hesitation.

Just comes back as if they’ve never been gone.

Like nothings wrong.

Then things are great.

No hate, no weight,

Just happiness....

When Lauren first met Zachary, he seemed like the perfect guy. He was sweet, funny, and loved her for who she was. He didn't even mind the scars on her face, which were brutal reminders of the car accident she had as a teenager. He told her they were beautiful because they were a part of her. She thought she had found her soulmate.

After dating for only a few months, Lauren moved into Zachary's h...

My heart used to bleed

My soul used to ache

My head used to spin

I used to break

Then came the doll maker

Who promised to fix me

He promised he delivered

Now im regretting

Stole all my pain, my joy, my emotion

Painted a face that would last forever

Heart no longer bleeds

It’s all been drained

It no longer loves

But it no longer pains

Ripped out my soul and dumped out contents

My thoughts...

Red bell peppers and pineapple chunks, Aunt Dorcas’ new potato salad had everything but ants. With a big wooden spoon, Helena stirred the unappetizering mess. Mom yelled at Sophie’s kids to stop leaving the back door open and letting out the good air. Embarrassed Helena’s eyes sought Colm’s. He was watching her with a smile looking over her PopPop’s head.

Somebody slammed the sliding glass door. ...
