A compilation of poems stemming from times of darkness. For it's only in the dark when you truly appreciate the flicker of light, and that light is the glimmer of hope in the midst of our hurts. Hello, dear readers! As a general overlook, in this particular compilation, you'll find poems written during times of depression-many inspired from personal experiences in dealing with it, and others just having a melancholy theme. I share these dejecting pieces to provide comfort in relatability. This is my first time sharing my pieces publicly, which is rather liberating! Most of these I've had hidden away, always being too shy to share them. However, I decided to post these here to help other people dealing with depression. I share the dark times with you, so maybe it'll help you get closer to the light. You aren't alone, and I'm hoping the reassurance of it being a greater epidemic than just you, is a launching pad to healthily dealing with it. Just know you don't have to do it alone. Keep going. We need you :) *Also, I would like to add the mandatory legalistic writer's note; this collection of poems, as well as the cover, belong to me :) Basically, "Yay, I made dis!" Thank you! Hope you enjoy reading!

As an unknown descendant of a Ymbryne, Aaliyah must learn the importance of her inheritance while still being peculiar. ------------------------------ Hello! This is my revised and edited of My Doll! The other one was written around 2018 and I was sadly locked out of that account! I hope you give this a read! Storyline and characters will be the same but the writing style will be improved and more polished! Thank you, muah! I do not own any of the MPHFPC characters! Thank you!

On the rugged coast of Saint Andrews, the cliffs keep their secrets-and so does the boy who walks them. Callum McGregor has always felt different. Haunted by a quiet ache he can't explain, he moves through life like a shadow, longing for something he's never known. His only solace is the feel of the earth beneath his bare feet and the heavy weight of a stone turning slowly in his hand. Some days, it's enough. Most days, it isn't. Granius, the ancient god of earth and stone, has spent centuries in silence-watching, waiting, never intervening. Until the day he sees Callum standing at the edge of the world, sorrow in his eyes and a question in his soul. For the first time in hundreds of years, the god takes form. For the first time, he reaches out. What begins as a divine curiosity soon becomes something deeper, more dangerous. As Granius and Callum grow closer, the ground beneath them shifts-both figuratively and literally. But gods were not made to love mortals, and mortals were never meant to love gods. In a world where desire can move mountains and devotion can crumble worlds, what will they sacrifice to hold on to each other? And when the earth finally demands its price... who will be left standing?

As the CEO of her father's second branch of the prestigious Sharp Bank, she has an almost strictly female staff, and it has been known for years to be exclusively so. Until, per her father's orders, a man has been accepted into the company. A position above her, no less. Determined to force him into resigning his position as the new company CFO, Suri uses any method she can to undermine him enough to leave, even so far as...making him fall in love? But Suri is in for a most gruelling battle, when her opponent equally does his best-to run her out of the company. Follow a story about an assertive woman, learning that not everything is the way it seems, and an arrogant nobleman, who learns that even the differences in people are to be celebrated and not scorned. _______ cover photo credit to Lee Avison © 2017.
