- Hot Topics > What Matters
'Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.' I've been creating myself for 16 years now and still mess up at least 5 times per day. There are days when I want to change everything about myself. My hair and eye color, chest size, voice, attitude, talents... - Hot Topics > What MattersFrom the ages of 12 to about 16 I was severely depressed. I didn't want to tell anyone and I really didn't know how. I though it made me weak that I couldn't handle all of my problems. Instead of opening up and asking for help I bottled up and shut down on the world. It all started ou...

- Hot Topics > All Hot TopicsSometimes I wonder if it's really all worth it. All the hard work, the pressure to be the best. In sports, in school and just in life in general.

- Hot Topics > Pride & PrejudiceI've been reading a lot on the topic of homosexuality recently on here, so I figured I would post my own opinions. I don't hate or loathe people who are gay, but neither do I support that choice. And that's what it is, a CHOICE. No one was born that way, it's a life decision caus...
- Poetry > All PoetryNo one sees the silent tears you cry, They all think you’re fine. I’m not fine, oh I’m not fine. The pain is still here every day, You can find no other way, To deal with the heartbreaking loss. You smile, that perfected smile. To make them believe you’re fine, Oh I’m so far from ...
- Poetry > All PoetryShe’s the girl alone on a Friday night Reading her sad love book, Who stayed home and studied like she was told, Never gave the party life a second look. She obeyed her parents, was quiet in class, Never was really part of the crowd. Boys didn’t fall at her feet, like they did other gir...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhat is perfect? Is it that girl whose hair and makeup are always done just right? The boy who is good at every sport he plays? The girl with the brains, and who seems to have her life figured out? But what about that 'perfect' girls abusive boyfriend? That 'perfect' boys ad...
- Poetry > Free VerseI know how you feel heartbroken girl. Silent tears from your bleeding heart flow freely down your cheeks. Your days are haunted by ghosts of flawless love. Realizing this is not so, your memories are fictitious. You recall only what your broken heart desires to remember. You scream at the phan...
- Poetry > Free VerseLove was ours, but somehow we lost it. There's no way to rekindle the fire that burned. we were a fairy tale, we just didn't get our happy ever after. Fate took us our separate ways, so now our memories consume my days. I hope love finds you, and treats you well. Even if it kills me i...
- Poetry > Song LyricsVerse 1 My chest threatens to burst, With the pain and words I cannot speak. My heart is a bomb, with any more tampering I fear it will go off. I believed in you and now my walls come crashing down, All around they fall, all around. Crushing my chest, taking my breath away. Chorus What to ...
- Poetry > Free VerseDon’t deny this feeling, of which you might regret, but take a chance, live a little, walk the tight rope without a net. Let your heart feel what it might, don’t toss and turn wasting the night. Instead write a joyous sonnet of your love, and shame the stars from up above. If your love w...
- Poetry > Free VerseA warm summer breeze blows across the night, And whispers hidden secrets to the trees, luscious green. For the trees are stuck in place, and cannot see the sights. They therefore rely on secrest from the breeze at night....
- Poetry > All PoetrySplashing water upon the dock, Time flys by on the clock. Sunburns, late nights, and lots of fast food, Sleeping in and pancakes, keep the good mood. Late-night icecream runs, junk food galore, The end of every vacation, leaves you wanting more. Shopping sprees and fattening snacks, While the...
- Hot Topics > What MattersHas anyone ever heard the expression 'If you love me you would ______.' This is often a funny saying to try to get people to do something they don't want to do, or something you're too lazy to do. But what happens when it comes to relationships? For example, if you want to stay p...
- Hot Topics > What MattersAs Christians, we are called to be leaders. As leaders we are called to set an example by being Christlike in everything we do. And yes, by everything I mean even when we're angry with people. This is something I personally have struggled with recently. Often times, when I'm angry with ...
- Hot Topics > What MattersSometimes it's hard to stand out, when you'd rather just sink into the crowd. It's easier to go along with what everyone else is doing, than to stand strong in your faith and state what you believe. However, I'm here to tell you that it's all worth it. Setting your expectati...
- Hot Topics > What MattersDivorce rates have gone way up in recent years, right? Well hasn't anyone ever stopped and wondered why? Didn't anyone ever think that maybe, just maybe, it's because our society is the way it is? Where on Saturday nights, lots of people go out to the clubs, get drunk, and end up doin...

- Poetry > All PoetryWe live, we love, We like, we hate, But if suddenly He suddenly closed the garden gate, We'd take back every single word, Beg and plead for one last shot, And then we'd give it all we've got, But we'd be forever thankful for the second chance, We'd praise and shout an...

- Poetry > All PoetryIf only I were a butterfly, I could spread my wings and fly, I would fly away upon the breeze, I could soar through life with ease, I could do as I please, But this world is just a piece of that, I'll leave someday and won't come back, His plan for me, it's just so big, We can...
