Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dreams: 37 of 591

Awoken suddenly in the middle of night He listens for anything that embodies his fright After a few long moments, finding nothing amiss He returns to the pillow, embracing dream's bliss And as he slumbers beneath the warm cover An unholy cold encircles his lover Creeping closer and closer, finally within It begins its work w...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Demons: 11 of 126

What an actor you have become To fool even yourself of the destructive lie from which you cannot run How you refuse to turn and see that it follows But when you close tight your eyes you can feel that it grows Just cage the beast, maintain the facade Smile wide and stand up straight Don't let them discover your most secretiv...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Saying goodbye: 60 of 419

Drop it into the pond Watch it fall, despite your doubts Loose your muscles, let go the stone Trust me now, for your own good Slip one finger off, then the next Almost there, don't turn back Hand open wide, palm facing up You stand there unmoving, eyes fixated You see it slide, yet how easy it would be To clasp down again, g...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Is life worth living?: 23 of 77

The answer to this question varies from person to person, as most philosophical situations tend to. The opposition to living is simply death. Do we know what comes after life? No, we don't.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Questioning if work ethics are deteriorating in America: 1 of 3

To some, this answer may seem blatantly obvious. The youth of America are spoiled beyond belief in some areas of this country. They expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter and the world could never give them everything they truly desire. The public and private schools alike host teenagers who have never do...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Problems in America: 20 of 53

Dinner Table Indoctrination In the proud old war veteran And the 50's housewife both soon to depart You will find dusty tomes of memories old Long since forgotten In their salty tears of steadfast truth A faded honesty We no longer choose to acknowledge Invisible to the modern eye And inconsequential to surface dwellers Prod...
Creative Writing > Satire Satire: The future: 12 of 30

In the future, all will be wonderfully fabulous, stylish, and just fantastic all around! We as a society are learning today that we have been doing things all wrong for far too long, and we are taking necessary steps to amend these mistakes we have so foolishly made. For instance: it is not ideas or thoughts that progress th...
Arts & Humanities > Schools of Thought Understanding non-conformism: 4 of 10

Non-conformism is, simply put, not following the group. As a teenager living in the teen environment, there are very few non-conformists I see around. Though right now in the teen setting it is deemed cool to be different than others, the vulnerability that sets in when an emotionally unstable teen stands alone forces them t...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Why people struggle with honesty: 8 of 17

People struggle with honesty for a simple reason: They are afraid of the immediate outcome in certain situations. When they are asked a question, they want the best possible reaction to come from their answer, the reaction that will somehow improve their status with someone or improve their situation. For example: A teacher ...
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: The Tyra Banks Show: 1 of 1

Tyra Banks. Why does she have a television show, again? Please, somebody remind me, I'm at a complete loss here. As far as I can tell she is hot. Yes, that much is clear because it seems that it's the only thing she has to be proud of (And saying she's "proud" of it is an extreme understatement). Can anybody tell me why ELSE...
