Is this new journey good enough to be true
Will it be decorated with flowers and sparkles
And the mercy of the absolute
I think it could be true
Cause I am doing this for the absolute truth
the one with black curly hairs
With big lotus like eyes
Whose lips are pink like a blossomed flower
And his ear are wearing golden rhymes
And best of it is the garland around his neck
With colourful flower...

Did you hear about that snob in your maths class?
You sneaked a look at his paper:
the glaring 99, ink red like a flesh wound,
like his glazed-over, taciturn eyes.
He called it a fail
and, with eyes on the floor,
snapped his rubber band like a whip.
You say the kid's got brains but in that moment
he is skin and skeleton. Ribs
cracked to splinters,
because now that he cannot b...
I think I have the opposite of an eating disorder.
I see food,
I want it,
I eat it.
I have almost no control of myself.
Even when I don’t want it,
Even when I’m not hungry.
If there’s food,
I just… get it.
It feels like a physical tug on me,
Pulling me to whatever it is.
When I get home from school,
It’s a strain in my arms,
My chest,
My skin
To not immediately walk to the fridge.
And I stop and a...
In a world where shadows dance and dreams collide,
There lived a soul consumed by an insatiable tide.
A character, lost in the depths of their own despair,
Forever seeking more, beyond what was fair.
Driven by a hunger for emotions untold,
They yearned for happiness, elusive and bold.
But in their pursuit, they stumbled and fell,
For happiness cannot be forced, as they could tell.
Through valley...

My boxers and bra and the body I hate,
In loathing, I'll wallow till I take the bait:
I'll skip every meal till my stomach's on fire,
Do two-hundred sit-ups and never get tired,
Write poems to distract me from eating.
My ribs are all cracked and my lungs hurt to breathe,
And the girl in the mirror refuses to leave.
I'll smoke till ...
I want more
More of your cuddles
More of your voice
More of your love
Counting down the clock
Waiting till you text me
Upset with wasted time
Stayed up late for you
I play with your hair
And you smile
You play with my heart
And I cry
I want you more
Than anything
And everything
in this world
But I know that
I’m delusional because
No matter how hard I try
You’ll never love me more...
feed me another scoop of that sweet taste,
my mouth is full and so is myself,
i do not care for another try,
fill me in with all your love,
until all i taste and have ever tasted,
is you and you and only you,
i can not escape this sweet dream,
let me eat until all that escapes my mouth is your taste,
just a little more love,
i can not get enough,
what if it is never enough?...
Just a little more salt in my soup
Then it will be enough
Just another page in my book
Then it will be long enough
Just a few more clouds in the sky
Then there will be enough
Just a few more hours in my day
Then I will sleep enough
Just a little more joy in my day
Then there will be enough
Just a few more words on this page
When will it be enough?...

STORY STARTER
Write a story about two best friends who have an argument that cannot be forgiven.
Initially you should build characters who seem to work well with each other, but of course something must arise that pushes them apart.
STORY STARTER
While on a hike with your friends, you stumble upon a coven of witches. They are eager to initiate your group of hikers into their coven, and the opportunity seems too good to pass up.
Continue the story. You don’t have to characterise the coven as typical evil witches, think of how else you could tell this story...
