When I was 3, all I wished Was a happy ending in my fairy-tales Or to stop biting my stumpy fingernails Or to make my mom to put my hair in pigtails When I was 5, all I wished Was for daddy to catch me at the end of the slide Or to be the most beautiful 'pillowcase' bride Or to s... - Poetry > Free VerseOne word, Not heard, Move on, Stay strong, It's too much, Shut up, So confused, Horribly abused, Very bruised, Over-used, Worthless, Wordless, Not a word, Can't be heard, Looking for you, Nothing else to do, So many tears, No-one hears, No-one cares, No-one's there,...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionI woke up with a tear-streaked face, realizing I’d cried myself to sleep. The blood was dried on my arm and became a painful reminder of how low I got the night before. But I shouldn’t reminisce; I needed to get up and carry on with my life. I needed to shove my feelings down my throat and prete...
- Poetry > Free VerseOur teacher, who art in school, Hallowed by thy job, Thy schoolwork come, Thy homework done, at home As it is at school. Give us this day our daily grades, And forgive us our cheating, As we forgive those who cheat against us, And lead us not into copy and pasting, But deliver us from day-d...

- Hot Topics > What MattersWhen I was younger, I used to fear death. There was no definition of what comes after life; will you be alone or eternally tortured? Both were my idealistic hell. Of course, there’s the bright side; you could be with your loved ones who have already passed on or be free to be whatever you like, ...

- Fiction > RomanceDear You, I’ll never forget you. I’m sorry that you had to leave. I’m sorry that I made you leave. I regret that. But I’ll never forget that night, even though it was the night that my heart broke, every emotion I ever had spilling out in front of you. But I won’t forget anything about...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionWhen she was little, she was scared of the monsters under the bed and the cluster of insects that hid in a mysterious clump in the corners of her ceiling. She was scared that they may gobble her up in the middle of the night whilst she was sleeping. She was scared of normal, girly 5-year-old t...
- Poetry > Free VerseThank you to everyone, Who pushed me down, Forced me underwater, Destined to drown. Thank you to everyone, Who broke my heart, It was torn to pieces, Right from the start. Thank you to everyone, Who excluded me, I'll never be involved, With your games that I see. Thank you to ...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionThe sky is dark and mournful tonight, clouded by the misery of God. The evening reflects the earlier day: misty, damp and dreary. The air is moist on my bare face as I step outside, the wind sharply whipping through my hair. I take a deep breath and inhale the slowly dying world that surrounds m...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyShe’s standing before me, her black dress cascading down her bare, pale legs in the darkness of the starry night. The blood stains are hardly visible, but obviously existent when my eyes move up to her lips which are deep red and upturned into an inkling of a smile. Her eyes are the exact shade of...

- Poetry > Free VerseLong summer days in the boiling sun, Fairgrounds and cinemas never did bore, Ice-creams with a flavor of happiness, Every year coming back for more.

- Hot Topics > BullyingShe’s there when I enter my form room, alone and tucked in the corner of the room, face merged with the darkness that has been excluded from the brightness of daylight. Maybe she’s just quiet. I look around abruptly, but it’s just the two of us. I smile hesitantly, wanting to be friendly bu...
- Hot Topics > What MattersSometimes we need to turn a new page in life. People do this by ‘forgiving and forgetting’. But my motto is: there’s only 1 chance in life, and although there’s unlimited pages, we can’t afford to forgive, and certainly not forget. Second chances are acceptable. Second chances don’t i...

- Hot Topics > BullyingI look at the pictures with a malicious grin, careful not to spoil my lipstick. “Are these alright?” Lindsey asks nervously. “Perfect, Lindsey. Just perfect,” I reply, tearing my gaze from the pictures and glance up at the quiet but unmistakably beautiful girl; my best friend. My best fri...

- Hot Topics > What MattersAs I live in England, lifestyle choices are pretty different from America. These include Thanksgiving, religion and most importantly, guns. Guns aren’t available to buy in the UK, but they are in America. In fact, there are more gun stores in America than grocery stores. I switched on the news ...
- Opinion > School / CollegeI hate tick-boxes. I always have. They’re so restrictive. All that is required is a quick scan of the question and a simple, unimaginative flourish of a biro. I understand that sometimes they’re necessary, to fill in forms for medical needs or application: tick-boxes make it fast and easy. B...
