I’ve been trying
To save the
World
But its killing me
I see your pain
And my pain
And the pain
Of the families
Who have lost loved ones
I know your pain
For I feel
That pain
Everyday
Pain
What a word
It can hold
So much meaning
To some
But to
Others
Ignorant people
The word pa...
My heart
Though it's broken
It is not shattered
Pieces of it were lost
Replaced by pieces
From people who decided
To care
Pieces donated by
Many people that
Saved
Me from myself
My heart
Though so empty
Is also full
Of love
Thank you
For saving me
For putting my
Heart
Back to...
Harsh memories
Cold thoughts

But in truth the raw pain
Of it all
Just keeps tearing deeper
Until what i feel is crushing me down deeper
Into the broken places of myself
I feel myself shattering
Lost and alone
Slowly part of myself disappears
Gone

The things that annoy people are different for everyone. For example it annoys me when people are condescending, when people hate you for no reason, when people don’t understand what’s wrong and what’s right, when teachers yell at you because you didn’t understand the homework and you came ...
My breath comes short and rapid.
The air cuts my throat.
My body retches and shakes.
I shiver.
Cold, wet, tears stream down my face.
My gray eyes are rimmed with red.
My lips mouth “No,” but the sound is lost.
My heart is gone,
Shattered into millions of pieces.
I watch the world forg...
A glossy, raven black Keoenigsegg CCXR slithered around the street corner. It’s tinted windows hid its passengers inside well. The beautiful car turned onto the narrow street without trouble and parked at the curb. The driver’s door opened swiftly. A tall man stepped out, he stood straight...
I write this in response to last month’s solely opinionated article, Twilight on Equality. When I read it I was enraged that Catherine Stafford had written this article about Twilight, and that it only showed half of the story. She had forgotten the multiple times when Edward had tried to tempt...
This piece of writing is so true. No matter where you are will always have the people you started out with, those friends that you met along the way in your life, and however much they change, you will always have something in common with them. True friends will be there when you need them most and ...
