A book of poetry.

This is a short story I wrote for this terms English assessment and I am putting this up 1. Because I'm pretty proud of it and 2. Because I'd like some feedback on if it's good or not. This is a horror fairy tale rewrite of Red Riding Hood. It should be a few chapters long. I hope you enjoy! :)

we all feel lonely sometimes. this is a story about being lonely in the company of other lonely people. *trigger warning for suicide and eating disorders. please read with care* *this story is going to be (at least an attempt to be) deep. it's not just going to be something where you can read the words and understand; you're going to have to think(a little bit... maybe? idk. like i said, it's an attempt.). also, it's probably going to be a huge, messy thing, so just bear with me, i suppose. thank you.* *lowercase intended*

"See, I know life isn’t fair or free Never turn your back on family And even though you love me, let me be I’m sure, I don’t need you anymore." - Loyal Friend and Thoughtful Lover by The Wind and the Wave A series of poems stemming from one of the most traumatic stages of life: adolescence. Which, I happen to have recently entered. **DISCLAIMER** These poems do NOT ALL STEM FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. These are also what some of my friends, on and offline, are going through *Formerly Thoughts and Emotions form a Teenage Girl*

my most recent collection of poetry that grows when creativity strikes

After her father's death she isolates herself from her friends and family. That was 8 years ago and Lizzy Griffin is now 18 years old. She lives with her mother Lori, but since her mother often has to work out of town Lizzy and her don't have as good of a relationship as they once had. But she still has her best friend Ashley to keep her company and they've become more and more like sisters than friends. Murders are starting to appear in the little town and Lizzy is starting to have visions, visions of blood before someone is going to get killed. Is there a connection? And after she's told about her family's secret, her whole life will change.

All Anette wants is to forget. Benedict wants her to be clean. She's not sure the two are synonymous.

"I hate how the human race complicates things. You're born, and then you die. The space between that is a grey area. It's a blank line. It's all up to you on how you fill the line. You can write good or bad or spontaneous or wonderful-it's up to you. The only catch is that you don't know how long that blank line is. And it sucks that I want to fit spontaneous and wonderful on that line, because for some reason, it got cut too short."
