The StormThe StormThe Storm5 months ago in Short Stories More Like This
The sound of seagulls and waves crashing onto the sandy shore echoed all around me.
I opened my eyes. I lay on a colourful towel on a golden, sun-kissed beach, underneath a big, bright colourful umbrella.
Palm trees swayed in the cool breeze, from the beautiful blue churning sea.
I closed my eyes and breathed in all of the landscape.
I woke up. And snapped back into reality.
I lay on a hard, hot cracked floor, in the scorching heat of the day. The sun, burning me on every angle.
My skin stung from the sun, and my tongue felt dry and cracked like the floor I was lying on. It begged with thirst for water.
I turned my head to the s

The reflection in the Mirror is no longer broken,
The flower in Bloom no longer stained,
The song that I Sing is no longer sad,
The Unconditional love I feel is no longer strained.
The Supernova I see is an explosion of desire,
The Unknown no longer compels me to fear,
If a Hospital is where I seal my fate,
Let it be known I died loving You, my dear.
End RemembranceEnd Remembrance6 months ago in Historical More Like This
Remembrance Day originates at the end of World War I. The idea is to honor those who died in the line of duty, defending their country from enemies. For all its pompous words and fancy granite memorials littered with colorful flower bouquets, Remembrance Day and others like it have failed miserably in achieving this goal.
I've often been criticized as having no respect, and that can be an impediment when discussing certain topics. However, I am often in luck – hypocrisy deserves no respect. What changed as a result of the enormous sacrifice of those who died in WW1? As the first bombs of WW2 fell just two decades later, millions once a

Love, anger, blood, or a rose bed
A path of stardom upon which chosens tread.
Danger of a poisonous apple to be fed
to an uncrowned beauty whose lips tell a tale unsaid.
The wall inside his head,
With imagination it is all set to be painted.
Imagination lit by the color-Red.
The depths of the ocean that can never be seen through
An open mind like the limitless sky, flying in freedom found new.
Of the beauty that lies in her eyes, she had no clue.
The wall inside his head ready to be born anew,
to unravel the mysteries that it held-the color blue.
Darkness, negativity, engulfed the sad sack.
So lonely, no one to catch her when she falls ba

Why am I here
No one cares
Why do I talk
No one listens
When I cry
No one hears
When I fall
They look away
If I get scared
They laugh
When I’m not understood
I am called stupid
When I need a hand
No one is there to lend it
When I ask for love
I am told why I cannot have it
Again I ask
Why am I here

the rhythm of the wind.
The coldhearted truth,
has shocked me once again.
I lay under the stars
and wish upon a dream.
Of one day livin' far
away from this defeat.
(Chorus:)
You see me running after
the sun, chasing darkness
away from my mind.
You count my footsteps,
praying I'll be fine.
But I gotta get outta this town tonight.
Stay with someone who won't
remember my name in the light.
Goodnight...
The touch of love is gone.
Its now just lust.
The beat of someone's heart,
it used to make me blush.
And now it's only blood
pumping from your chest
into your head to make me
lose my breath.

I felt your heart ache.
I saw you try

from the past to the present.
There's a pattern I see.
You continue to keep
walking down the same rough lane.
(Chorus:)
I think this time you should try to smile.
I think God has bigger plans than your dreams.
I think I know, how it feels to be low
down where you are.
There's no map to show you're almost home.
You wiped your eyes
so no one could see you hurt.
But I know, even if you don't say a word.
I feel it, I know when you think of me.
I can hear you when you don't even speak.

And I think this time you should try to smile.

Wish I knew how to stop this fighting.
These nights go on and I don't sleep.
I can't take another argument.
Over something like some guy friend
who fell asleep on my couch while

Jealousy's gotta hold on you
and you're not letting go,
it's what you do.
When you are guilty of
secrets you keep.
Oh, you define jealousy.
I check my phone to see who is calling.
You grab it and answer with a growling voice,
I can't believe you're that paranoid.
What would you say if I read your mind and
found out what you're scared of saying out loud.

'Cause when I am layin' in your bed,

I feel I am floating on a seamless cloud.
Like a dream, you wake my heart.
And I will let this get too far.
I pray you know, how this makes me

You flipped my world upside down.
And I don't mind if you do, no I don't care if you do.

You make me hurt.
You make me laugh.
You make me feel like a fool.
You grabbed my heart.
You ripped it out.
You said with a simple sigh,
"I guess, this is mine now".
You stole my vision
Of how love is.
Replaced it with a dooming kiss.
You make me sing.
And you make me cry.
But most of all you make me
Feel so alive.
I know it's bad.
But it could be good.
You admitted it yourself,
We're amazingly in tune.
Was it just the mood?
Was it just a night?
I don't think so.
I know, it was a flicker
Turned into a fire.
This is so wild.
And I want to stay.
You make me hum

How sinfully lovely we could be one…

I held my breath…
Took it in while you cursed the winds.
And I wanted to be just like you,
but now I'm second guessing.
(Chorus:)
Maybe I should stop and play a little song for you.
Maybe, I should sit down and write a note for you.
Please, turn my skies back to blue.
You took a chance on a heart
that was damaged and torn apart…
And now you see how that felt,
being broken and left alone.
It's not as fun as being free.
I wish that you could hear me speak.
When I say, you were everything…
That was true, now you're haunting my dream.

Wild, wild horses have shown me how to say
You're beautiful to me.
You are whimsical

You are magical

but you stick with me.

While I devour this taste.
Its bitter and not sweet at all.
I need some time to think about

Something like "forbidden"
maybe "lust" or "forgotten"
maybe "trouble", maybe

It's something like "Apologizing."
It is safe to say no.

Couldn't think of how to put it into words...

"NO!" He screamed at me as I ran out the door. "I will not shut up, I will not leave you alone!" I ran, and kept running. It was twilight, and my eyes were fogged up with tears as I ran down the sidewalk. As soon as I was out of sight and earshot of his house, I collapsed in a swamp of emotions. I didn't care what I looked like, I'd already been beaten up- both physically and emotionally- and yelled at. My dress was torn at one sleeve and my leggings were ripped along the sides. I had a black eye, a cut lip, a gash on the shoulder where my dress was torn, and was sore all over from running what must have been a mile. I hear

Molded into
For the past eight years
The show they want to see
Someone they can forget

Faith, like a feather,
Floating, falling delicate down,
A soft, fragile hope so hard to hold.
White, like cotton clouds the winter wind so cruelly whips away.
Faith, like a feather,
Soaring in strong fearless flight,
Beating in the breast; the soul's sounding song.
Wondrous, like the wild wings of the eagle riding the wind.

Horsfield tortoises are herbivores which means they are non-meat eating animals. They rely on finding grasses to graze, weeds, flowers, plants, trees, shrubs and other vegetation. In the wild a tortoise would quite gladly walk miles and miles to find a food source or even a few leaves to tide them over a little while longer. Horsfield tortoises are genuinely well known for their rather large appetite which will go from a patch of grass to sitting in a small puddle eating duckweed. Although they have a huge appetite, this does not mean everything you give them is safe for them to eat and this is why various websites and lists have been created

Dripping down with each
Falling flake
The air is chilly,
Cold and raw,
But it doesn't affect you
You walk through the park
Without taking a glance
At the scene around you
Their words make no mark,
For the scars are buried deep
Your breath appears in the air
And somewhere,
Up above,
The stars are twinkling
You brush the tears from your eyes
And sniffle into your scarf,
'Cause it's really just the cold,
And nothing else
Your shoe skids on a patch of ice
And you freeze for a moment,
Expecting to make bum contact
With the wet ground,
But you don't,
You maintain your balance
