A short poem about not giving up.

They say sharks swim in the forest...but they don't show us proof. No one is allowed to leave the city gates, and those who do never return. *** A potential idea for a novel in the future... still working out the kinks in my expanded idea.***

"When Lyla Carter comes home to find that her mother has committed suicide, she's forced to live with her father who she's conveniently avoided since he left them seven years ago. Lyla does her best to keep everyone at arms length until she meets Mase Dean: the boy who strums his way into her heart, one chord at a time." ♡♡♡ (((If you, or anyone you know, is having suicidal thoughts, please GET HELP. No matter how bad things may seem, I promise it gets better. So talk to someone about it. You can even talk to a complete stranger through the Suicide Hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Let someone help you want to live again.))) :]

{Watty Awards 2013 Winner} This is simply a story about a lonely girl who finds love. I was inspired to write this because I wanted to know that there are good things that happen to invisible girls like me. I wanted to write Hope for those who seem hopeless. • • • In March of 2013, Letters was #1 in the short story category.
