My words flow on the page, just as they flow smoothly out of my mouth, when I'm writing I'm free. Able to express myself in ways a lot of other can't. Living in the world of Harlem... Yeah Its difficult but I do it. Taking care of my little brother. Trying to find my mother, hoping that one day daddy will show up. Naw it won't happen. I find myself lost, stressed, irritated, and wanting to give up. Trying to find my wings to fly looking up at the sky and thinking why me? My name is Janae, but I go by Harlem... Maybe one day I will make it out. Be able to show my baby brother the world... Yeah.. One day. But for now, I'm documenting my story.. Giving you the run down. The 411. This is what I am, this is what I do. I. Am. Harlem.....

Set against the textured streets and soulful pulse of Chicago, this story follows the journey of two poets-Jada and Marcelo-whose hearts collide in the most complicated of ways. Marcelo is magnetic. Known around open mic circles and bookstore basements for his evocative lines and the trail of women left breathless in his wake, he wears his charm like a second skin. But beneath the surface is a man chasing redemption, still haunted by past mistakes and the fear of becoming his father. Poetry is his truth-but he's learning that truth is more than beautiful words. Jada, on the other hand, is guarded. Quietly brilliant, she writes from the shadows, letting her words do the speaking she can't always bring herself to voice. Scarred by past betrayal, she moves through life with deliberate caution, letting few in and trusting even fewer. Poetry is her armor-and sometimes, her only safe place. When their paths cross, it's art that connects them-but it's honesty that will test them. What begins as shared stanzas and late-night cafés quickly unravels into something deeper, and messier. A resurfaced ex. A secret child. A fractured past neither of them saw coming. Through it all, Jada and Marcelo must decide whether love can be rewritten-or if some verses are better left unfinished. This is a story about forgiveness, vulnerability, and the kind of love that demands more than passion-it asks for growth. For truth. For staying, even when it's hard.Concluída

Nuh need dis pan a personal level," I explained. Maybe it's for the best. And mi still a convince miself dat cause it still hurt me. Mi vex wid her... Wicked too. Cause she fuck up. She licked her lips and looked down at the desk before saying, "...but that isn't what I want. I have agreed to give you time." Time. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. "Yuh nuh get fi choose that still eno. This is what I want and those are my boundaries. Respect them or find someone else fi tutor yuh, simple." I sighed, scratching my head. Mi just nuh wah di drama and foolishness.

I shrugged my shoulders. // Liam was once a bright, joyful child until something shattered his world at just nine years old. Whatever happened that year left scars too deep to see, turning smiles into silence and laughter into rage. By fifteen, he was behind bars. Now eighteen, he's out with one last shot: six months to finish high school and finally leave his past behind. He's focused. Detached. Determined to stay invisible - no fights, no friends, no drama. Then he sees her. Kazierah. His childhood crush. His first kiss. The girl he never forgot. ...the one he never stopped loving even when he wanted to. She's changed too. She had more friends and she was more social than he remembered. They never dated, never made it official, but the connection between them always ran deep... too deep to ignore now. And as old feelings resurface, so do old questions - about the past, about that day he was taken away, and about why their paths are crossing again now, after everything. Some stories never really end. They wait. And this one is just beginning.

The Possessive Gang Leaders Princess
I sit down on my bike looking around the school parking lot. Listening to music, I stand up begin to walk through the student-less parking lot. Honestly, it's not like I meant to be late. My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child.

"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me. I took a long drag from the blunt and held it in my lungs before releasing it. "Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him. He isn't the most sentimental guy, probably one of the most nonchalant and controlling people you've ever met. She was sweet and came from what people would call the perfect family. In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man. The man he always wanted to be. The man he knew she deserved. _______________________________ - Mature Content (18+) - ViolenceConcluída

A Twist Of Fate
Her life was anything but ordinary. Broken by those meant to protect her, she grew up knowing pain more intimately than love. Abuse and betrayal fractured her world, leaving scars no one could see. No one but him. His life seemed perfect on the outside, a façade of wealth and family bliss. But no one knew what happened behind closed doors. He had secrets too dark to share, and wounds too deep to heal alone.
