Struggles have never been so beautiful. TENDER by FULLOFMOON is an exploration of the human experience, delving into abstract yet universal struggles. Through experimental use of various literary devices, classical references, political theories, economic concepts, and diverse structures, it addresses uncomfortable emotions, world systems, existential questions, and infatuations (with people, things, and the self.) By employing relatable subject matter and simple language, TENDER seeks to show how deeply beautiful our tender encounters truly are.

Everything Hurts
I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

THE PREMISE OF LOVE
My Poetry, the art form of the soul, is an exquisite tapestry of language that weaves together emotions, thoughts, and experiences with skillful craftsmanship. It is a captivating expression of the human spirit, transcending time and culture, to touch the hearts and minds of readers throughout generations. At its essence, poetry is a dance of words that elevates ordinary language to extraordinary heights. Each poem is a carefully chosen arrangement of words, rhythm, and sound, forming a symphony that resonates within the reader's soul. With brevity and precision, poetry captures the depth of human emotions, painting vivid pictures with metaphors and similes that evoke powerful imagery. Poetry celebrates the beauty of language itself, as poets play with the melody of words, the interplay of sounds, and the cadence of lines. Through rhyme, alliteration, and repetition, poems become a melody for the mind, etching their verses into memory. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, poetry is a vessel for self-expression and introspection. Poets lay bare their innermost thoughts and feelings, exploring the complexities of the human condition. Whether it's love, heartbreak, joy, sorrow, hope, or despair, poetry offers an emotional sanctuary for both the poet and the reader. In its various forms and styles, poetry showcases the boundless creativity of the human mind. From structured forms like sonnets and haikus to free verse that flows unbridled, each style carries its unique allure, giving poets the freedom to experiment with different techniques and tones. Poetry is an open invitation to interpretation and personal connection. The meaning of a poem may vary from person to person, allowing readers to bring their own experiences and emotions into the verses. This openness ensures that poetry remains relevant and relatable, touching hearts across cultures and time.Complete
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete

The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE
What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.Complete
