Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I want to die: 2 of 12

When just a little girl, my innocence was taken away. I was made to feel disgusted, self doubting and dirty, My only thought then... I want to die! I was never good enough or pretty enough. I was made fun off at school, not listened to at home, My only thought then... I want to die! I would lie in my bed, in the dark. My onl...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My broken heart: 11 of 64

It is torn, crooked, and twisted. It hangs to one side open to more punishment. It does not beat a normal rhythm, my broken heart. The years have taken its toll, Packed full, punched in and swollen. The hurt and doubt running, bubbling over its edges, Like a waterfall. The need for nurture though still there, Is not what kee...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Hurting: 13 of 30

Hurting I live life one second at a time. My mind keeps reminding me that I don't really want to be here.

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Under the harvest moon: 17 of 30

Twas the moon It calls to me every night when it is full. I lay my head down to sleep in the comfort of my room. Only to be awakened by the pure white energy. I swear I am dreaming tossing, turning in bed. I must go where it is calling me, walking, running to somewhere in the night. I feel the mist of grass under my feet. We...
Health & Fitness > Eating Disorders Is over-eating a disease?: 4 of 5

Is Over-Eating a disease? Hamburgers, pizzas and cake OH MY! I have consumed all three at one sitting in my life and let me tell you, it felt good in the moment. I was deep in my eating mode where the only thing I could think of was to stuff my face, make my mouth so full it was hard to even chew. I sat there and ate non sto...

Finally, I see the storm surging, clouds gather and the wind blows. God is here at last. He's going to heal my past. I can not wait to see him now, To help him knock my stumbling blocks down. I knew this day would come at last, all of those years of suffering and doubting would soon be over. He calms the rough seas. He takes...
