Lisa:You’ve been on your phone for hours. Can we just talk?

Mark:We talk all the time.

What now?

Lisa:I don’t feel like you see me anymore.

Mark:Here we go again. Why is everything always a problem with you?

Lisa:I’m not trying to fight.

I just… miss you.

Mark:Then stop being so dramatic.

A heart, a ravaged, gilded cage,

Holds beauty born from shadowed rage.

A twisted rose, with thorns entwined,

A love that's fierce yet subtly unkind.

Pale moonbeams kiss a fractured face,

Where sorrow paints a haunting grace.

Each scar tells a story, a sign,

Of passions burned, a love divine.

Yet monstrous in its aching plea,

To bind two souls for eternity.

A grotesquerie, ...

Body Dysmorphia. ED

We've all had it, this dreadful feeling, somewhen or another. We're scared of ourselves, our body makes us want to avoid others, our voice makes us stay quiet.We're alone.

I couldn't let them see.

Not like last time,

They need me.

It broke me.

I can't let it happen again,

I need to be happy.

For them, I must.

Mary always seemed off, like her world just wasn't right, although being a witch, she didn't have her powers, so she was always up late practising her magic, but it was no use. Her pet, shadow, who was a smallish sized bat, would always come and comfort her when she was struggling. Her family always mocked her for it and made her feel worse. She always thought that when she gets her powers, she wo...

Dear Diary,

Tuesday 17th March 2009,

As I awoke, everything felt distorted. I was lost. I didn't know where I was nor what was going on. I just wanted to go home but something stopped me, a silhouette grasped onto me not wanting to let go, I tried to push myself away but their grip got tighter, I was trapped. I couldn't breathe, my body felt heavy. Then I collapsed losing all the weight that ha...

As the moon shone brightly, the lanterns reflecting off the empty waters and the lonely tree slowly submerging underneath, no one knew that life would die that morning. Lights switching off one by one, silence all around. What was there to leave, to miss, just to take a step and it would all be gone. But just a few more hours and it's the end, let's not think about that much, but the things we lov...
