"Songs Of The Broken" (http://www.wattpad.com/77585296)
Welcome
To the broken glass of my shattered soul
There are no pages
Pick up a shard
If you can handle them
Soaked in pain
I let you see the thread that holds me together
Can you handle my burden
As you scroll through my life
Can you see the cracks in my heart
As I try to be something I'm not
But will anyone see who I am
And who I need to be to survive
This will break your heart
As you soak my lyrics with your tears
I don't need them
I've soaked them enough with my own
At night when I can't sleep
You may see one pop up
And you ask yourself
If you should be reading these
It's fine just know when you leave
You may leave with more questions
Then what you started
But know I will never give myself completely
Cause I'm not complete to give you much of anything
I let you see the thread that holds me together
Can you handle my burden
As you scroll through my life
Can you see the cracks in my heart
As I try to be something I'm not
But will anyone see who I am
And who I need to be to survive
Welcome to my songs
Are you ready

"There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard: the holy or the broken, 'Hallelujah.'"- Leonard Cohen The poems in this series center on two characters: I, the speaker, and You, the speaker's subject. I is not a specific gender or orientation. I is meant to mold to the reader's idea of who they would be. We follow I in not only a love story, one where love blossoms and lingers until its destruction, but a tale of self-discovery, where, after a long and arduous quest for it, I finally finds happiness.

How I Met Your Father {Remington Leith}
He said it was love at first sight. But I'll admit, it took a little longer for me. Ten years ago when I met the black-haired rocker I'd learn to love, I would've never imagined that one day we'd be married with two adorable children of our own. Now seven and five, Sav and Rocky have been pestering me for months now to know our love story, the strung out years of our lives before they were born. I guess it's time they know...how I met their father. **mature warning for: mentions of sexual content, language, depiction of alcoholism**Complete
What you never asked
"I pretend I never loved you I will pretend it was never the easiest thing to do I will pretend that I'm over it Pretend I am over you But no one has a fucking clue And I'll throw my popcorn away. Hide my face. Wipe away my tears. I wasn't special enough And that is alright by me." ------------------------ At this point this collection of poems is almost like a diary. I always hated poetry. I like people who are direct and honest. And that's how I prefer literature. I believed myself to be bad at double meanings and metaphors and hated pretty words to cover up the ugly reality. Yet, I found myself being fascinated by it. I think it's the most vulnerable side of me. Wanting to communicate through a medium I think little of and yet understands me. It has no structure. It can be messy and yet beautiful. It's allowed to be unpolished. Wrong quotations. Or even lacking any. At this point in my life I feel like everything I thought was right to be wrong and so maybe something wrong could be right. You haven't even asked for this. And still you know it now.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]Complete
Pain Reconciled by Love
This book is published on amazon.com. I put it on here for Wattpadders to read for free! Have you ever felt so much emotional pain that you just wanted to end it all? Have you ever felt so much physical pain that you thought death was nearer than you had hoped for? Maybe you have felt one, but not both, or maybe you have felt both. These poems were written for those who have felt pain like no other. You may be your own worst enemy, but you are also your own best friend. Sometimes, no one is there to help you get up off that floor, so it is up to you to help your own self. Once you find that you can take care of yourself, you can take care of and love others. Humans need love to survive. If we didn't have love, we'd all be robots and simply not human. The love doesn't have to be from a significant other. Maybe it's from a best friend or close family member? Just know that we are all in this game of life together. So, let's live it with love. I had entered the deepest depths of pain and agony. I had given up on my life. I tried to end my life, and I would have been successful. Three people saved me that day, at the end of 2017. First, was myself. I had to come to terms with who I was and turn it all back around. I had to lean on my Creator, who was my second life saver. Jesus came to my aid and saved my life after I tried to take it. The third person who saved me was my husband. Before we met I would have died, but he needed me just like I needed him. I am alive for him, for my two sons, for myself, and for my Heavenly Father. "I couldn't make it stop, Until I met my rock. So, here are my words of wisdom, "Pain reconciled by love" is my rhythm." There is hope. There is a purpose to this life. Pain Reconciled by Love is full of heartache, but also full of beauty. I'm still alive because there is something for me out there. I hope this is the beginning to something beautiful. For you and for me.Complete
(Lesbian) Heartbreak Hotel and Other Shitty Love Songs (LGBT) (GirlxGirl)
"Kiss me," She says, a tan hand snaking around my waist. Tiny bolts of electricity run through my stomach as she pulls me towards her. Her words reverberate through my head, but I can't seem to grasp the meaning. She holds my gaze for just a little too long before I instinctively grab the back of her head and pull her face close, her silky smooth hair all but falling between my fingers. Holy shit. - Shelby is your above-average mean girl. Razor-sharp wit, annoyingly perfect blonde hair, and a nasty attitude. Oh, and she's fucked every guy in school. That's a personality trait, right? But what happens when Bethany kisses Shelby? It changes everything. And you know what? Change is fucking scary. Especially when that change makes your cold heart skip an extra beat. - This is an LGBT+ story. All my love stories are wlw-centric. I am a queer author, and that's what I LOVE to write. This is my favorite story I've ever written- but I stared it when I was 18! I'm 21 now so I apologize if anything is iffy. It's still a rough draft! Feel free to comment your thoughts :-) love you! - TW: References to sexual assault. Explicit language. Crude humor. Opinions of characters do not necessarily reflect those of the author :-) characters are FLAWED!! - My Instagram: huntergracesComplete
All Hail The Mist (Prv. Avengers-- Mist) Book I
I know what I am. I know what I have to do. I remember the pain. I remember their faces, some blank, some twisted in fear and anguish. I remember the stench, the taste, the sight; all my senses can still tell me what that day was like. I remember seeing the flash and then looking up to see a hilt flying at my head. I remember the blackness and the sense of security it brought me. I thought I was dead for a long time. I remember all of my past; I just can't remember who I am. So I made a new identity. One that would and could never be forgotten. I have many names, many appearances, and I have much blood on my hands. I have been thrown into a pit of darkness. Many like me have decided to wallow in their misery, to stay in their pit and never find a way out. But I, I made my decision when I heard the blood curling scream of the dead crying out for a warrior to avenge them. For a warrior to rise and forge a path of blood using the Sword of Souls. One small cut from this blade and your soul will forever be bound to it and its master. I am the Blind Soul Master, Shadow, Death. I am Mist and I have come to avenge the Dead. __________________________________________________________ The cover was done by SeaTheWords Link: http://www.wattpad.com/user/SeaTheWords Thanks for reading :)Complete
