Lilliana held on tight to a piece of broken board from her fathers ship, the same ship that was as destroyed by the fierce sea. Lillian’s slowly gets weaker by the minute trying to keep herself above water. I’m sorry mother, I can’t hold on anymore. I will always be there with you, take care of little...
Jenni has a skateboard. Her hair is brown and red and her knees are scraped bright red with grey. She hisses. Her legs are bruised.
My parents don’t like me skating up and down this street but honestly I don’t care.
His dad has been cheating on her mom and her mom never has time for either of them anymore.
It’s always fighting so they don’t notice when Jenni slips away from the house.
In fact,...
Noctis had gotten her first taste of blood just days after she had turned seven years old. At first she was afraid and had panicked when the boy’s chest stopped moving; giving the indication that he was still breathing. His body was limp and still as unmoving water. Noctis had reached out and touched the still warm blood that spilled from his head, where it landed and cracked on the sidewalk. _Aft...
_(Author’s Note: This is pain; I am in _**_pain_**_.)_
Highschool, every teenager’s worse nightmare. Well, it’s mine anyway.
With a full stomach, washed face, and my eyes glued to the floor, I walk through the door of my first class: Environmental Science.
Wonderful.
“Hello—

As she cursed, she shot looks of hatred towards me and I felt each word as if they were hot daggers burning my skin upon entry. My thoughts were clouded with the constant judgement and reminders that all areas of my life would never be good enough for her. The hidden irritation that overcomes her body when I’m around is noticeable. In that very moment I decided that was enough. To no longer obey h...
Would you choose me in a room full of everyone you have ever met? I want to say I would, but my soul knows better than to believe I'll ever be the first choice. Even if you're my first choice I won't even be an afterthought in a room like that. So would I choose you? My brain screams no, but the whisper of hope from the part of me I lost so many years ago begs me like I did an eternity ago. Crying...
I sat nervqously in this fancy Italian diner. My date was running late and I almost started to regret letting my friends set up another blind date. Not because I didn’t trust them but… they weren’t a sight to wake up to. Just not my type okay?
I was about to get up when I saw a lady walk through the door with a fancy royal blue dress. After that a man in an equally nice attire. They didn’t appear...
The cold seeps into my bones. Like a chill that can never be sated no matter how much I try to warm my self up. Running around trying to find rocks helps close to none with me trying to stay warm. Not that it’ll matter in a few minutes. I glance over at the mangled body that use to be my brother. A kitchen knife still lying in his stomach. His eyes soulless and empty, staring out into the sunset. ...
I sit in my house alone as the rain downpours outside. Its a large house, more than I ever could’ve dreamed for. The gorgeous 10 foot tall windows, the fancy front door, the expensive black and gold furniture with the white staircase that looks like it was stolen from a princess castle. It’s perfect but empty.
Day after day I wake up, I sit alone at my 15 foot long dining table to eat, I sit in ...
I’d love a glass of Cabernet
Though it might later cause regret
Old memories of four-leaf clovers
Rescued for a bygone lover
I tell myself I’m very tough
But in the face of fear, I cough
Your temper puts me in a mood

Heat rises, I will surely lose
Like wisdom sought from Socrates
I’ll leave this to the fickle Fates
So I’l...
