I. Yesterday

Regrets I cannot
erase; mistakes that branded
my life…forever.

II. Today

Choices I wish I
didn’t have to make are branding
my life…forever.

III. Tomorrow

The Great unknown and
the Great Perhaps that will brand
my life forever…

YAY, I HAVE A STALKER! All writers must have one sooner or later. I'm so happy I got one sooner than I expected. *alerts bodyguards and secret service* JK. I'm honored. And thank you for reading all of my work. I appreciate it. And for inspiring you. Everyone here inspires me in one way or the other. Teenink artists are one of my greatest inspirations. Thanks.

I know, I know, your probably thinking "oh god, Liv is still reading my work. What a stalker!!" We'll, i once told you that I was determined to read every piece you wrote and if you haven't noticed there are 8 FRIKIN PAGES!! So if ever you want me to stop reading your work just let me know though i probably won't: rebel :) Anyway, here comes the praise. I love this. It's short, simple, but holds so much meaning. And we can all relate to that feeling of "why did i do that". This is amazing. And if you ever think for a second that i am joking when I say that i think that you are going to be famous when you grow up. Well, im not kidding. Your work inspires me Mckay. And your poems can brighten up my day. So thanks . And never stop writing and rockin. No matter whet comes your way. Never. Stop. Writing. Because the world really needs to hear what you have to say Nd read this amazing-ness! Okay, I will stop praising before you start thinking tht i am a creep :)) hehe whatever Have a great summer! Keep rockin Mckay

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Thank You.

How can you say that isn't a good thing.. I think writing is ALL about emotions...that's how everyone's writing is so special because no two people can feel EXACTLY the same thing at the same time so....  Though I do pray and hope that this hopelessness leaves soon :D Keep smiling. Love, Saphira.

Not sure. I wasn't really happy that day I wrote it. As you can tell, my emotions dominate the themes of my writing. Which isn't good. But as some personal-ness. Thanks.

The poem is WOW. But why the hopelessness??
