John sat in despair holding his head in his hands as he watched the tears from his eyes fall to the floor.

I stay here locked inside of this cage You wonder why I'm filled with this rage Why my fists are clenched so tight And why I can not sleep at night You ask why I'm angry inside Why I always talk of suicide Why I'm so eager just to let go My reasons are something that you can not know That I hollow and lonely in a way you can...

It is a fond memory for me but in my teen years something changed. I began to question all of the scriptures I had so blindly believed in before without question. I started to see h...

Steam from the shower filled the tiny bathroom. It wasn't much bigger than a walk in closet but it was more than enough space for Jake Spencer. He was a 34 year old man who lived alone and liked it that way. He had never felt the need or want of companionship with a woman or a man. He had no friends to speak of and couldn't ...

The Battle I see Jesus as he is walking away My guardian angel begs him to stay He begs him to battle for my soul But he says the battle has gotten to old He stairs with disdain into my eyes He sees all of my sins and all of my lies He can see the drugs fall from my nose He says that I'm not the reason that he arose But inst...

Arts & Humanities > Fantasy & Science Fiction The influence of science fiction on society: 1 of 2

In order to see the influence that science fiction has on a society all you must do is look around. We are living in a time that science fiction is becoming or has already become science non-fiction.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Is Bill O'Reilly's claim of "War on Christmas" just for ratings?: 1 of 1

Whether or not there really is a war on Christmas, I would like to first say that Bill O'Reilly is doing this for ratings. No matter who it is or what the issue may be, if it is on television it is for ratings. There is not a single network or producer out there that says I don't care if nobody is watching this at all. ...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What makes a good leader: 17 of 33

A good leader in my mind is defined as someone who would never ask you to do something that they would be unwilling to do themselves.
