Just a girl who uses writing as an escape. Just trying to become a better writer, and start a habit of writing more often. This time last year I would have been terrified to share my writing, but I'm trying to build up my confidence as well.

The Beating of Wings

(Hey I'm back! summer's been insan)

She saw it on her walk home. Maria felt the blood drain from her face as Katya tugged on her arm, and pointed to the creature sitting on the fencepost. The black bird seemed to stare directly into her eyes. "Come on Katya! We need to hurry home. "

"Was that-"

"A raven." Maria could see the fear in Kaya's small face. "Just a Raven, nothing more. Now we need t...

Sitting in the Dark

Sitting there in the dark, We're all equals

You can't tell who gets all A's in school

you can't tell who has the best clothes

You can't tell who cried seven times this week, because she didn't feel she was worth the time of day.

You can't tell who didn't have time to fix their makeup

sitting there in the dark, we're all equals

I could be pretty, or smart, or popular

The girl on my right could ...

Lonely

"I think I am malfunctioning. "

My scientist turns in confusion. He did not see me walk in. "And what leads you to that conclusion?"

"I feel," I struggle to find the word. "wrong"

He laughs. "Well I didn't think you could 'feel' anything. "

He doesn't understand. For the first time, I can't find the words I'm looking for. "I feel, incomplete." HIs face turns to un unreadable expression.

The Last Story

I have wandered ages. Endlessly telling the stories of those I see, Desperate to be a part of one of my own. Unable to stay anywhere, cast out as soon as the story is ended. I am no one.

Until now. I'm done. I'm so done. Done with being passive, and slipping away. Done with being a shadow, merely observing, and never having a place of my own. I'm just the listener. When they don't have a story...

Last

I don't get picked first

even though I'm fast and smart

But that doesn't matter to team captains

because choosing teams is an art

You don't pick kids if they're nobodies

Which of course puts me last in line

But when they start calling names,

I can't help but wish for mine

But alas, It's not to be

My turn isn't bound to come

Until they get down to the end

And I'm the only one.

The Mission

The mission was easy. Get in, get out. At least it should have been. For Amelia this was a death sentence. She knew she wasn't as good as her class at the institute. Any other girl would have been out already. Instead, Amelia was left sitting at a table scanning for the contact she was supposed to meet.

"Delilah?"

Amelia whirled around, a bit too fast she criticized herself. This was her fake...
