About me - Lily Garner

Hi! I don't really know what to put in this bit, if there's one thing I'm not very good at writing about it's myself! Damn, all those requests for autobiographies will just have to go in the bin.
Ok, basically I'm seventeen, I live in the North East of England

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love at first sight: 2 of 32
He asked me gently one night, If I loved him at first sight. I think he wanted a "Yes", followed by a kiss, A promise that I have always loved him, Always will. But I don't lie. I stared him in the eyes, and told him the truth. I didn't love him when I first saw him, I barely noticed him. Good looking, yes, but loveable? How... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inside my purse: 6 of 88
I open my purse, And smile. No notes, a few pennies, I really need to save for a while. I say goodbye to the pretty new dress, A holiday in Spain. No sun and sand for us this year, Just the same old English rain. Yet I smile, and laugh So content I could die. I'm bursting with happiness, that's for sure, Flying way up high i... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The ocean: 17 of 186
Free, am I? The world at my finger tips, I am everything. Everyone. Nothing is freer than The Ocean, giving life,hope, inspiration. I play with life, moulding it into nothing more than vapour. Forgotten memories. I can make you scream with joy, or anguish. I decide. I could save you or kill you. My choice. I have no mercy. T... More..

"Shared Blood" Angela's story I have to say, I'm an honest kind of girl. Not like her. I like to be upfront about my past, I don't lull people into a false sense of security, pretending everything is OK when it isn't. Normally, they aren't too disgusted, they don't announce that they never want to see me again, or anything l... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Change: 17 of 173
So you've replaced the cheap cider With a bottle of posh champagne, But does it have the same effect, Does it still make you go insane? And the parties you go to now I heard are classier than they once were. Yet you'll still wake up the next morning, With everything a drunken blur. You try to forget and move on, From the guy...

The Secret Ingredient "You have to read this review, dear, it's simply delightful!" Mrs Hartford said to her husband. "It's so kind." Mr. Hartford took the newspaper. The pair had owned their restaurant, The Country Inn, for over twenty years, and not a bad word against them was ever written. They were the best restaurant in... More..
Style & Beauty > Clothing Sizes & Fit Should plus-size clothing be modeled by plus-size models?: 14 of 97
Should plus-siz clothing be modeled by plus-sized models? It is a difficult question to answer; after all, "plus size" can mean a variety of things. In a size zero world, "plus" can mean for some what "skinny" can mean for others. Yet I stand by the belief that the models chosen to wear the clothes should reflect the market ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: War: 83 of 544
Hopscotch in the schoolyard, We squabbled over it all, A punch was thrown here and there, I'd push you, you'd fall. We were told that fighting is wrong, "Violence isn't the answer, you know. Shake hands, hug it out, Just let the argument go." Why hurt each other until we bleed? Why let the tears be shed? They say we can sort... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Should pharmacists be forced to violate religious beliefs by selling the morning after pill?: 14 of 85
Pharmacists; not priests, not nuns, not any other kind of religious figure. What right do they have to let religious beliefs interfere with their work? In the same way religious teachers shouldn't be allowed to refuse to teach other religions at school, pharmacists have no right to control what they sell depending on their r... More..
Health & Fitness > Surgery Should smokers and the obese be denied coronary artery bypass surgery?: 7 of 42
Has our world really come to this? Are we seriously discussing who should get medical treatment and who shouldn't? It is a right as a human to be able to obtain medical help, or at least it should be; we all have the right to live, after all. So how do medical institutions believe they have the right to take this right away ... More..
