These are the words I could never say...

"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

Some poems for when I'm all caught up in my feelings :) •ALL POEMS ARE WRITTEN BY ME• (Not all poems are situations I've gone through, most are but not all. Just a few aren't things I've been through.) Poetry style inspired by Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur hit #22 on the top 100 board for poetry on 5/18/17 © Gabby Correia 2017

I am lost. I am scared. It felt as if my own soul decided to take me away...... Far away from my beloved people. I don't know who I am, or what these people want, but the only thing I hoped for was to go back from where I came from..... My lost home Neveah Johnson doesn't know where she is. She doesn't remember anything, except for a necklace she was given that had an address on the back. She doesn't know who gave it to her, but that was her only hope to escape from this abandoned place..... Will she escape? And if she does who will she meet and what will the address lead her to? And if she doesn't escape, what will she do? Will she spend her life in that so called prison, or will she try to find a place to escape this?

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
