The tears stream down her face as she remembers the detailed news The doctor gave to her She lays on the bedCurled up tightly into a ball Her knees hugged to her chest. As she begins dealing with her nightmare The memories of her past flash before her eyes And she realizes she has never been as alone asShe feels right now, in this instance. Her family are all too caught up in their lives To even take a moment to acknowled...

This cell in the womb is alive It needs to be protected too Should it live or die The young mother has no clueShe was raped and held down Unfortunately now pregnant No smiles just frowns This situation not pleasant Should she have an abortion Or give the baby away Would the child be an orphan The decision marks an awful day Her family has so much to say The teen is embarrassed and scared She doesn't want to relive that da...

One summer evening when I was about 4 or 5 years old, an owl was hooting off in the woods. It was a moon-dark night so from inside the cabin all that could be seen was a pitch black empty.I stood at the window and tried with all my might to see the owl. “who..whoo” the owl hooted. It sounded closer but all I could see was blackness. I moved upstairs thinking it would be better if I was higher up near the trees. "Who…Whooo...

It was time for bed I got in My imagination had started My toys started to spin This was not for the fainthearted I held my blanket to my chin The wind started to howl Goose pimples all over my skin The horror would start now Banging on my closet door The monsters were now here Under the bed or on the floor I wish they'd disappear How many were in here What do they want I brushed away my tears Now looking very gaunt I hea...

Living life everything is fine I start to feel some pains I wonder if this is a signHere comes the bloody migraineMy migraines affect my vision I start to see starbursts I can't see the television This is the absolute worstThis is a temporary vision loss Happens to one in two hundred people Squiggly lines and sometimes a cross I feel stressed instead of peacefulThis problem is very rare Doctors have to rule out things Thi...

Icy flash!Awake at night!Jolt shoots through my being!Numbness travels up my arms -And as I lose my feeling -Heart thumps fast at such a pace,It seems to want to flee me -High pitched shriek  Runs through my headMy chest in death grip squeezing -Body cold, I’m so afraid,My teeth then start to chatter -Such fear I feel of everythingWhy? It does not matter -Sitting, rocking, in my room -When will this be over?My life is rea...

I feel young, pretty and free. Strong, healthy and so not me. Large, loud and proud. I want to scream it to a crowd. I don't feel sad, down or depressed. Those feelings are just a mess. Come with me into the light. Let our souls, minds and hearts take flight. I am alone and I like it so. It's time to get over life and go with the flow. I feel good, great and well. Males, I will no longer dwell. Come with me and I will sho...

She came from a broken home But no one saw that But the four walls that kept it all in For so many years she made it Somehow No one found out until that night They had been fighting The mom and the dad She was so scared she locked her door Then she heard the sound The sound that saved her She walked into their room to find her Laying on the floor With him beside her The help arrived five minutes later Glass was everywhere...

Nothing but an animal Backed into a corner Haunches pressed against the wall Scared of getting stronger Hand that fed me keeps me here, Trying not to bite. How can I suppress the fear, Of hands no longer right. Blame me not for reflex mine. It was not contrived. But I’ve seen the warning sign - Trust won’t be revived. Between the walls and cowering… Stuck on future crimes, Trials verdict towering Can’t believe the times....

You haunt my dreams.Every dream turns dark and evil with a glimpse of you.When will I be at peace?I know when death knocks on your door, I will still be haunted.Your presence will linger around me like fog.Scared, so scared I feel you're behind me.Waiting for me to turn around and see you.Darkness is what I see.Everytime I close my eyes,I'm alone.I don't want to be alone.It reminds me how alone I felt when you betrayed me...

With seven days to go To an event that may change my life forever. My mood is getting steadily worse.  So much darker and hopeless, Feeling so scared and alone not sure of what I might do. I need too STOP! Take some deep breaths, Wipe away the tears think about the present only deal with the here and now Not the could or might be’s And have a little faith.

Have you ever been so scared That all logic and rational thinking Just goes out the window. You feel the best and only way to protect and keep those you love the most safe, Is to push them away and keep them at a distance No matter how hurt and lonely That it makes you feel. I know this might sound crazy at a time you need people the most To choose to distance yourself But all you want for those you love Is for them to be...

Fear clutched at Brittany's heart as she walked home. She would casually glance behind her when she used the excuse of flipping her hair back out of her face and saw that the old car still following her. The after school pep rally was a huge success and she had volunteered to stay afterwards to help with the clean up. When she exited the school almost two hours after the rally had ended the parking lot was almost deserted...

Sitting in his seat, tea in hand, Rufus was almost tempted to stand and grab something stronger. He looked at the girl, his eyes wild and unbelieving, head spinning. “Seriously, where did you come from, how’d you get here and what is your name?”“Heehee, I came from the water, I just kinda arrived here and you know my name,” the girl giggled.“Same smart mouth. You really are...” he trailed off.He took a sip of his tea and...

Iam a Princess, created out of the rubble that my life became. No one wanted me. So deep inside I had to survive. Out of necessity you were born. I don’t know how, but you were mine. You are strong, something I am not. You are confident, something I am not. You are worthy, something I am not. You are a wonder, something I am not. You are a force, something I am not. You are not like me. I need to be you, so I became. The...
