The Hall of Concord stood empty, a cavern of marble and silence. Once, it had roared with the voices of chancellors, sages, and poets. Now only dust danced in the shafts of dying sunlight that pierced through fractured stained glass.

At the heart of the hall stood Miren, the last Orator.

She wore her ceremonial cloak—a threadbare relic of a forgotten time—deep blue with silver hems, patterned li...

need to talk, you need to vent

Maybe even

need to repent

someone to talk to

right now you’re feeling very blue

Pansy, angry and depressed you get lashed out by your family and strangers. You get constant criticism that isolate you from the world and all it’s beings. I’m agoraphobic, no doubt!.

Your four legged friend is dedicated to you,with love unconditionally. She depends on you,like y...

i watch like a hawk as you waste your breath on her

she treats you like scum

when you were once my home

i watch as she treats you as nothing but a peasant

when you surpass a queen to me

heaven sent

whilst she treats you as if you’re the devil himself

i wanna carry your burdens as my pleasure

i wanna heal the heart that wasn’t the one i broke

i wanna fill those sorrow eyes with shine

i know y...

“I see your mind is made up,” Paul said, addressing the court of men aiming at deposing the Prince. He stood in defense of his monarch, loyal to the last and confident in where his allegiance should lie. He knew why they were unhappy, but that mattered little. In the face of the growing threat from the south, they could little afford to ignore their defenses, and that came at the cost of other ...

Words are wasted on those who do not listen.

Pleadings echo along the hollow halls.

Explanations unrecognized

and time spent wasted.

Those cries slowly become quieter- despite increasing in panic.

Their words given claim ownership over mine,

as they dictate what mine 'actually' meant- still ignoring my attempts of translation.

Try, try, try, try to explain. Only to fail.

Until it's too late, o...

"Did you hear me?"

I ask again.

As my voice subsides.

"Yes, sure. Now go on."

Тhat forceful tone was what I was used to.

The silence that grows,

Day by day.

They wonder why i'm so quiet,

They ask why I keep to myself.

Yet they don't bother to listen.

Then I mutter.

Words are wasted on those who do not listen.

Dix was always there as an extension of me. Always in the background, until I shared something with him that made us smile and rip off our filters. My family understood our relationship, he was my younger brother who was actually older than me. After all, almost everyone in our family had an opposite gender best friend. I had Dix, and he had me. It was as simple as that. We had met in high school,...

“Gimme a sec…. **_Hngh!_**”

Will grunted as he pushed himself against the door. His palms pressed against the glass. His feet skid beneath him. A tragic sight, really.

"Almost there… I think I heard it slide!”

Another push. Another grunt.

Avery looked like she was trying her best not to twitch an eye.

"Will, it literally says _PULL_"

“_Hnggh— _Huh what?”

His eyes finally met those words....

Am I not enough for you?

All I ever do is try?

You cut your self 1 to what ends up being 1000

You don't listen not just to me but yourself.

"I promise" LIES LIES LIES

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO FOR YOU TO LITSEN. Listened to what I have to say.

Its not you it's me for being not enough not worth your time. I get it I get everything

I was you when I was 9 a depressed stupid loner at the wrong...

Words are wasted on those,

Who do not listen.

And seek to christen,

The halo you chose.

Confession means nothing,

If you just feel regret.

And thus you are set,

A way that does not sting.

Cast you words against these walls,

Vent your unstilled solution.

Give joy a known promotion,

Again to travel these halls.

The winds break my echoes,

Efforts borne fruitless.

Regardless of stress,

Go swim in ...
