- Nonfiction > Personal Experience
We sit in the darkness, toes touching, thighs pressed together so that I can feel the warmth from your body flowing through mine. You smell like cinnamon and shampoo, and it leaves me breathless as I stare at your shadowy frame in the dark. Despite the darkness, I can see you smiling, starting off a... - Nonfiction > All NonfictionSometimes, it feels as if I"m alone in this world; even though I'm surrounded by so many loving souls, it feels as if no one understands, like no one has ever felt what I'm feeling. Sometimes, the only way to express myself - the only way to release all the anger, frustration, sorrow ...
- Fiction > RomanceLast night's 4AM phone call consisted of shouting and anger - of frustration and tears. I was tired of the games; I'd had enough of being a mere pawn in your game of chess. When you called me and started calling me out on everything I was doing, I had finally had more than I could take, an...
- Poetry > Free VerseLush, light brown hair, the colour of milk chocolate from Daniel's, and the frosting I use to top off my brownies, and two thick eyebrows, full of character - dark, round blue eyes that turn bright in the sun, reflecting through windows on the bus, giving playful winks every now and then, and a...
- Fiction > RomanceYou leave me speechless; sometimes, I don’t even know how to describe what you are to me, and how I fell about you. See, in the part, I haven’t exactly had smooth experiences when it comes to these sorts of feelings. I guess every teenage girl claims the same thing: he was her first love, but ...
- Fiction > RomanceI should probably get rid of the blue box underneath my bed, holding your Christmas and birthday cards to me, and the letters I wrote to you, but you never read. I should probably throw out the notes we passed in class – the remainders of the games we played – the reminders of the past. I was wr...
- Nonfiction > Personal ExperienceShe does the same thing every time. You’d think she’d learn from her mistakes, but apparently not. Every time, she gets her hopes up, and convinces herself that this guy will be perfect. She sets the standards high, and has expectations of him, and each time, he fails to deliver. Each time, she ...
- Poetry > Free VerseHow can your best decisions also be your worst? How can your happiness be your undoing? How can you dream of a life of success and yet pray that time stops moving? Can you wish for a change, but hope for the same outcomes as you already see? Can you have a whole new perspective on life, and stil...
- Fiction > RomanceMegan’s heart fluttered with excitement and anxiety; she hadn’t left the house for months, except to go straight to school and back. It had been so long since she’d felt the cool air brushing onto her face, and she barely remembered what it was like to have the sun kiss her skin. Though s...
- Fiction > RomanceDear Diary, I was never the kind of girl to believe in love at first sight; I always thought that before you could fall for someone – really, genuinely fall for them – you had to know who they were as a person. Maybe you’d fall in love with their sporty side, their taste in music, or the ...
- Fiction > Historical FictionMelanie froze when she heard a gunshot coming from the near distance. She smelt the familiar smell of fresh ashes from a fire but stood, dazed. She never understood why men jumped at the chance to fight, or why they felt a sense of pride when they held guns in their hands. Once, before the war sta...
- Poetry > Free VerseTo be quite honest I don’t know Who I want to be Or where I want to go I just want to be near you Wherever you are Because when you’re close to me Happiness isn’t too far You’re the sun in my sky The light's rays shining through a storm On a cold, winter’s day you’re the b...
- Poetry > LimerickSometimes, I like to curl up in a ball Because that’s how I feel Tiny, and small, Irrelovent, Unthought-of. Nobody cares They want to control my life Like it has suddenly become theirs. But I am my own person And this is my God-damn life to live. I’m not letting them take What is min...
- Poetry > Free VerseI want to be skinny I want to look sexy I want to be able to wear nothing but a sweater and look gorgeous I want to look like Vanessa Hudgens I want to have a flat stomach and strong abs I want to feel confident at the beach in a bikini I want to get my bellybutton pierced I want to get guys ...
- Poetry > Free VerseGulp, Gulp, Gulp – first bottle of water emptied I look in the mirror and stare at my bare body. My skin is tan and healthy, opposite to how I feel inside: Pale, Hollow, Empty. My stomach moans, and I stare at my midsection. I squeeze it, as if to yell, “Stop!” and pull at it, ...
- Poetry > SonnetThe winners are set to take all And the losers always take none Everybody, welcome to high-school! Isn’t all this fun? Games get really tuff They’re confusing But the ultimate fear Is the concept of losing People keep backstabbing Fingers are held crossed Hearts keep breaking My frien...
- Poetry > LimerickHere it all goes again I’m making all the same mistakes But I can’t stop it I can’t make them shake My mistakes, they’ve got me again I’m their prisoner again When I look in the mirror I smile But only for a while I realize I’m alone, and I frown My world is crumbling down ...
- Reviews > Movie ReviewsThe Patriot, directed by Roland Emmerich, was a great representation of the events that occurred during the American Revolution. Unlike most historic movies, The Patriot was able to hold my attention throughout the entire film. Roland Emmerich did a fantastic job at choosing his actors, which includ...
- Opinion > Love / RelationshipsWhen I’m with him, I feel a bunch of things and then at the same time, nothing at all. Like sometimes I don’t even think I like him that way anymore, but then BAM! Out of the blue, it comes back. Then sometimes I think I’m getting over him but then I get home and he’s all that I can think ab...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionA few deep cuts were all it took to get me addicted to the intense pain of cutting. It had begun as a dare, but now, I just couldn't get enough of the adrenaline that hit me each time I created a new slit on my wrist. I watched as the blood started flowing, trickling down, out from underneath m...
- Poetry > LimerickHello, I am a Hobbit Welcome to the Shire Yes, the weather may be cold But my heart is set on fire There’s a boy who lives down the boulevard Who means a lot to me But since I’m nothing special I don’t think he’d ever love me I’ve talked to him a few times though He’s actually, ...
- Poetry > SonnetAfter all this time You’ve become my personal sun You’ve taken my stormy sky And turned it into a beautiful one You scared away the clouds Your rays stretched their way through So that the thunder doesn’t seem so loud Anymore, and all I can see is you All I can feel is the warmth from ...
- Poetry > Free VerseThere’s a girl who walks around the school Like there’s nothing wrong There’s a girl who hides behind her fake smile And many think she can’t act But her whole life is a show, a play There’s a girl who talks like everything is great But when she goes home, She breaks down and crie...
- Poetry > Free VerseBubbles, bubbles, bubbles Were all I used to see in this ocean so blue Then one day, as I swam, I noticed a new fish With eyes bluer than the sea itself; Who knew it was possible? From that day on, I couldn’t remove my eyes from that fish His scales sparkled from the rays of the sun pene...
- Fiction > All FictionI swear I’m going to kill you. My lungs are on fire, my thighs are burning, and sweat is dripping from my brow; isn’t the point of this hike to admire the scenery around us? How the hell am I supposed to do that when I can’t take my eyes away from the ground, or focus on anything but the pa...
