Graduation DayGraduation Day:

They told us we would be alright...

We had fought with honour and won our titles.

We had overcome trials together -

Watching dozens of our siblings fall in the line of duty.

For this they had promised us, a wondrous welcome;

A bountiful world of adventure, with a myriad of paths.

All this, they said, awaited us in the stone cities.

Large metropolises, where the working folk resided...

There were hundreds of us, who made that journey.

Walking miles across the scorching desert,

Clinging to a hope of the fortunes beyond.

Yet what awaited us was not a promised land -

Nor was it a life based on the merit we had earned.Graduation Day1 day ago in Free Verse

All that Sexual FrustrationNow it's Girlfriend!ReaderXBoyfriend!Matthew.

Matthew had the worst habit of just slipping french into lots of conversation, you wanted to accuse him of being a weeabo but found you couldn't do that to your adorable little canadian boyfriend, plus most canadians did know french but not many slipped it into their english. And at this point you felt like it was at your expense, the little smirk he got when he said the french words made you suspect something but this was Matthew! He couldn't do a dirty or harmful thing to anyone ever. . It happened a lot at the most random times but you needed to find out what those little comments were.
You two were at the super market, getting the regulars. Peaches, mangoes, pancake ingredients, and you couldn't pass up the chance to tease your boyfriend.
"Mattie, do you want regular maple syrup or honey pecan?" You teased knowing his strict hate of artificially flavoured syrup.

he would roar to the
stars, declaring himself
as fearless as a king
& as regal as a lion.

he would announce
every night when leo
would coax the virgin

Therapists, I don't like their taste.i.
in 7th grade
i didn’t know depression
until she told me her name,
carving forever scratches
along my limbs like
little love notes on the bark
of a tree.

she stole my rings
and left me hollow.

ii.
i had only ever met anxiety
in passing, until one day
he handed me power and told me
to hurt someone else with it.

iii.
inexperienced,
with an uncontrollable
quivering in my fingers,
he whispered, “ to survive,
you must learn quickly.”
as i shoved the bevel of a needle
into a strangers arm.

iv.
so, if a therapist
could talk away my scars
like iodine disinfects,

Germany X Reader-Just Give Me a Reason

~2 Years Later~

~Christmas Eve~

It's been two years since the war had ended,you were at your brother Alfred's(America) for Christmas(his place is big enough for everybody to come)
You helped Elizabeta and Lili(Liechtenstein),set up the dinner table,while the other girls were setting the gifts from the other guests over by the tree.
You watched as everyone was talking and enjoying themselves,
You took hold of the guest list and marked off the people who made it.

Goodnight Enigmatic SongShe was the song you hear and, at first blush, don't like.
Well, you don't know how you feel about it so you keep listening in an attempt to discover how exactly you feel and then you reach the end of the song and you realize, you don't like it; you love it.
That was Grace.
She was my coworker and she was my friend.
We carpooled together, I drove and she slept most of the way.
"Don't get much sleep at night, do you?" I asked her, catching those drooping lids mid-descent.
"Insomnia, love."
She looked out the window streaked with rain; it spoke in percussive touches filling the car with quiet overcast conversation.
I felt the warmth of her smile in the corner of my eye. The blur of her hand reached at the window to feel the cold of the droplets.
"When I was a girl, I used to race these. I thought it was funny the fat ones always won," she giggled and I imagined her as a little girl in the passenger seat then, legs too short to reach so kicking, and hair messed in the bacGoodnight Enigmatic Song2 months ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes

They Called Her UglyThey called her ugly
and she screamed that she was beautiful
because that is what she believed
and They screamed twice as loud
and They left a small scar on her arm that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

They called her ugly
and she yelled that she was beautiful
because that is what she thought she was
and They yelled three times as loud
and They left a bigger scar on her other arm that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

They called her ugly
and she said that she was beautiful
because that is what she hoped
and They just said it louder
and They left a scar on face that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

Promstuck - Karkat x ReaderIt was prom night.

You could barely contain your excitement as you let the tiniest squeal escape your lips. After a long week of anticipation, it was finally here. The night you had been longing for.

You suddenly stopped mid-step. You realized it just then. How could you have forgotten something as important as this? It was, besides the dress, the most important thing on the list from prom.

A date.

How in the hell could you have forgotten to ask someone to the prom? Your heart sank as you knew all the good dates would have been taken. You suddenly considered not going. Slipping off your shoes, you walked back to the couch and slumped downPromstuck - Karkat x Reader1 day ago in Short Stories

England ran as fast as he could down his stairs into his basement where you were. "_______!!!!"

Boom.

Alright, so messing around in Arthur's magic basement was not a good idea. You coughed and waved the smoke away from your nose and looked around.

"Ugh... Arthur! I heard you come down here! Where are you...?"

You fumbled around for the Englishman. He could be such a pain sometimes..

"O-Over here..." You felt a hand reach out and grab the side of your jacket. By now the smoke had cleared out enough and you looked down.

Dana’s reflection made it look like she was experiencing some sort of allergic reaction. Her petite nose had grown wider, and the skin around her nostrils had turned dark, almost looking black. Her upper lip also looked a bit swollen, and it was upturned slightly in the center.
“Oh, god,” she shouted, touching her lip and nose, “What the hell happened?!” She noticed that the area around her nostrils had a different texture than the rest of her skin. It almost felt like it was covered in short, stiff hairs. And then, she realized exactly what had caused this. She went into a drCheaters Never Prosper Part 21 day ago in Introductions & Chapters

Red DressDon’t put on your red dress
for he doesn’t know the meaning
he doesn’t want the commitment
he doesn’t care for the color.

The red dress you love to wear
that’s stained from wine and beer
but still carries so much meaning
for who could find a second red dress

Don’t go out on your red dress
for the man who wants nothing more
to screw around and doesn’t understand
the meaning behind a simple red dress.

A red dress for when you dance.
A red dress for when you cry.
A red dress for when you need it.
A red dress for when you care too much.

Confessionsthere’s a lot I never told you

one. I have a habit of lying, about
the simple things (like, yes I
forgot to remember and I swear by
soul mates and I’m in love
with your susurrus voice
and no, I’m really doing fine).

It was not an act of infidelity because
I believed it, too.

two. I’m infatuated with the concept
that I am more or less fictional, the
delusive beauty a million men will
dedicate novels to: I am fragile,

a dust angel sent to save the world
from commonalities and
myself.

three. Since I’m not allowed
to remember your name

I will commemorate you
in acts of escapism,

Heavy Rain: Madison's RapePaco walked ahead into his private room, his semi-drunken grin still hanging across the side of his face; for a heavyset man, he certainly could put some pep in his step. The real motivation, Madison thought, was obvious.

Madison Paige was a woman on a mission. Reluctantly, that night at the Blue Lagoon, Paco's little dance joint, that meant she had to be sexy. She was woman in her mid-twenties, with a bob-cut of brunette hair, frizzed in a sexy fashion; her red blouse showed a nice little triangle of cleavage, and her black skirt had been torn at mid-thigh meticulously, to show a little more leg for Paco(a little more leg, and a little moreHeavy Rain: Madison's Rape3 years ago in Short Stories

my dandelions speak of
