Me: Wow i feel in a poetic mood today. anyway um yes here is my poem. RATE and COMMENT. lol, yes if people wouldn't mind i would love to have feedback critisism is always welcome and praise is aswell. Anyway......

The Struggle

My eyes search the darkness before me,
And perceive the two roads.
One of which I know I must take.
Each holds a different path,
With the two people I love.
Both holding me with an overwhelming power,
That was crushing me as it grew.
To please my family,
Or fulfil my own desires.
They were so different,
They are fire and water as
Light is to dark,
Yet still, they both complete me.

Why is God punishing me?
Why choose between these important people.
How do I live in this dream of a world?
Life was openly full of pain,
Make it stop.
I took a deep breath and pulled out my end.
I closed my eyes and with hands of unacquainted certainty,
I plunged the knife into my heart.
I cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Embodied within the pain, I was happy,
Struggle over.

"Sign here, great. Sit down anywhere you'd like," a falsely cheerful, bleached blonde receptionist says.

I sit down on a plastic chair in the corner, next to a large plastic fern.

It's all just a nightmare. If I get the abortion, it will all go away, and everything will be fine, I try to convince myself. I give up eventually. What if my own mother, who was in a very similar situation to the one I am in now, had decided not t have me?

My thoughts are interrupted as a young looking woman with a small toddler on her hip walks up to me. I am the only other person here.

"Could you please hold...

All of that seems so long ago. More than the two years it has actually been. Because right now, I'm torn in my desperation and fear. Because right now, I am nineteen.

I am nineteen, and I have too much to fear. I made one mistake, and now my entire future has changed.

Two weeks ago, I found out.

I had just moved into my new apartment. It was close to the university I would be attending in the fall. Shaun is going to one in another state. He is helping me move in. Finally, it is all done. He sits on the couch, and I go into my new kitchen to fetch us something to drink.

This is probably...

It didn’t take long for me to fall asleep and I was momentarily floating in darkness when I felt a rush of wind. I gasped as I felt that familiar painful sensation of all my injuries being combined...

Sorry if you don't like the way its done but you'll just have to live with it. Um anyway enjoy. And I'm sorry if this is long. Cough rate cough please cough soory i got a bit of a cold

I sat up gasping and sweating. The moonlight shone through the window giving the hospital room a dim light. I remembered the dream as vividly as if it happened yesterday. I put a hand on my back and felt along the skin. I almost fainted. There was blood there and scrapes across...

I sat with Tia and her friends, but I could feel Shaun's stare.

After school, I was in a hurry to get in my car, so I didn't see him coming as I fumbled for my keys.

"Serena, how strongly are you opposed to seeing a movie with me this weekend?" he asked.

I looked up, at first not believing what I was hearing. I was aware that it was Thursday. Very aware.

"Unopposed," I said, so happy. Inexplicably happy, as I met his eyes. They weren't black, just a very dark brown.

"I'll pick you up," he said.

"Come to this address," I said, scrawling my street and house number on a piece of paper my...

I store deeply into his eyes as he slid his hand close to mine. the heat in the air around me began to heat up, my heart pounded rapidly against my chest and a feeling of anxiety rushed through my body.

His hand moved too hold mine, he moved it slowly, continuing to gaze into my eyes. The twinkle in his eye turned to a bright shine as the twilight began to rise, Hypnotized, i joined his hand with mine, the burning tension in the air, the smile that arose on his lips, this was perfect.

" I Love You" he whispered softly in my ear, his breath warm. He brushed his lips against my face and kissed...

The next day, I sat at the same table.

When I glanced up at him, he was looking at me too, indecision and frustration written all over his face.

I looked down quickly, and went back to deciphering the laminated wood grain.

The rest of school dragged by very slowly, and by the final bell, I was already hurrying out of the Biology lab.

As I exited the main building, I immediately felt someone was staring at me. I'd always been able to tell when there was someone was looking at me, I was weird that way.

I turned, and in the split second that...

He looked up and I wasn't sure, but I thought his gaze softened a little.

"Can I sit here?" I asked cautiously.
"Whatever," he said, sounding bored out of his mind.
"My name's Serena," I said.
"Shaun."

We sat in silence for the rest of lunch, I was eating nothing. The second the bell rang, he stood up, abruptly and left.

I was left staring in confusion at the doorway I was mostly certain he'd disappeared down.

I didn't want to hurt her, yet I didn't want her to be sucked into my depressing world of suffering. What was I supposed to do?

A/N: Ok, this is just a short, about 500 word drabble I came up with. It's about 7-year-old Alice and her drunk derpressed father, called, of course, 'Daddy'. It's not much, but I though I'd post it. Constructive critisizm is welcome.

Please rate and comment.

The smell of his breath came off in waves of grief and alcohol mixed into what could be described as inner turmoil. Although Alice barely gave a thought to the bottle of whiskey in his hand, as she was more preoccupied with not throwing up from the smell of her father she should have gotten...

My Undying Love

posted by harold

I looked up every few minutes, desperate to see you standing there once more. My heart beat shrilly in my chest and my breath fluttered every time I thought of you, your cold hands grasping mine, the wonderful smell of your skin intoxicating me. I cursed, thinking of Amy and how she could be with Evan, could call him on the phone, hold his hand in public, and the simple problems she had with trying to date a normal guy. You are so much beyond normal that it frustrates all my attempts to capture you in poetry. Surrounded by scraps of paper on which I've written your name over and over, filled...

A Taste of Familiarity

posted by Katiegirl

It was a cold, brisk day. Nightfall was upon the horizon. I strolled down the walkway towards a baron park. The park looked as if it has been around many generations. The park benches were rusted in a distinguished color clear to the solid ground. Keeping the park in existence, the fig tree leaves filled the surroundings like a flamboyant rainbow decorating the park. So bright, even in nightfall a person could find away through the darken park. Suddenly, beyond the benches, fig trees, a young man stood steady as if withholding his emotions from...

Just One of Those Days (part 3)

posted by tvluva49

I guess with me that day, I should have learned not to expect what was coming. I woke up, my side hurting like hell, but I was better. I was still lying on the stretcher, and the combination of dried blood on it and the smell of the dried blood made me feel the need to vomit. Looking up, I saw white ceiling tiles. I also saw two cold metal objects pushed into either side of my temple: guns.
I sat up in shock and confusion and was pushed down by two people; one with spiky hair and the other looked like a mouse. Oh yeah, David and Mike. It was all coming back to me: getting...

Random story I thought up. Please rate and comment! I hope you like it! :)

I guess that day was just one of those days you should have stayed home from school. You should have faked an illness and lay in your bed all day while watching TV and eating junk food. You should have.
But of course with my sparkling record of having never been absent, staying home that day didn’t even occur to me as I got dressed and ready to go. To me, school was a punishment, a privilege, and a fun place. Some days I dreaded it, some I appreciated it, and some I loved it.

As i stood there i knew i had three options of what to do then:I could walk away,which would be hard to go through all the people around us now,i could change my mind about what i was going to do/say and maybe offer to do something which wouldn't turn out so bad or i could keep up what i wanted to do in the first place. At that point i decided to follow my instincts which wasn't a...

I Wish....

posted by jarik

I wish...
I could exorcise the demons in your mind
Remove the darkness from your soul
Take the pain from your
Wipe the tears from your eyes
And lessen the burden you carry

But I live miles from you
And cannot be with you
But I can be with you in spirit
And can only hope these words
Written from afar
Can help ease your mind and soul

Your grief and pain
Has touched me in a way
No has been able to

May you find the peace you seek
An the love you deserve

Your happiness is my greatest concern
And greatest joy

You go to bed happy.
You go to bed well.
Then you wake up sick.
You're rushed to the hospital.
You're lest with no help.
You're poked and you're prodded.
It feels like hell.
You wish it was over.
You wish all was swell.
Finally it's over.
All test have been run.
You hoped for the best,
so you can have fun.
You're stuck there for days,
before answers come.
They say you have cancer,
you have to stay.
Days turn to weeks.
There you lay.
Misery comes with each passing day.
Hate comes in every way.
Now you wake up,
days after chemo.
Your hair lies around you.
No comfort you find.
You can only hope.
Each day brings tears.
You fight with your hardest,
but it wasn't enough.
In the end you lost.
But you learned alot more.
You know you helpd others.
You settled the score.
