"2 am, where do I begin
crying off my face again
the silent sound of loneliness
wants to follow me to bed
I'm the ghost of a girl
that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
that I used to know well
dancing slowly in an empty room
can the lonely take the place of you
i sing myself a quiet lullaby
then you go and let the lonely in
to take my heart again
to afraid, to go inside
for the pain of one more loveless night
cause the loneliness will stay with me
and hold me till I fall asleep
I'm the ghost of a girl
that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
that I used to know well
dancing slowly in an empty room
can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
then you go and let the lonely in
to take my heart again
broken pieces of
a barely breathing story
where there once was love
now there's only me
and the lonely...
dancing slowly in an empty room
can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
and then you go and let the lonely in
to take my heart again...."

Diary Of An Angry Young Girl
There are some people who are not like the rest of the herd. Those who seek company but are rejected. Those who do not fit into any of the 'fashionistas', 'badass hunks', 'nerdies', 'druggists', or any gang. These people were just born different or circumstances have made them different. The diary of an angry young girl is about such a girl. After or during reading the book, you may have thoughts like, 'Seriously, is the writer just bragging?'...'Is that possible?'...'That's definitely bullshit'...etc etc. Trust me, it's not a fictional story, it's as much real as the stars you see at night. I've known this girl all my life. This story is a journey of a girl crushed on all sides; a girl who you should read about because you really don't know how many more of her kind are in your lives...waiting for a ray of hope.Complete
I'm The Apprentice: Underfell Papyrus X Female Reader
EDIT: READER AND PAPYRUS ARE BOTH IN THEIR TEENS!! WARNING: BOOK CONTAINS SWEARING/CUSSING AND VIOLENCE Just before she passed away, my grandmother told me about the monsters who lived under Mount Ebott. My mother hated everyone. My father died in the war of the monsters. My grandmother decided to whisper to me: "Promise me, You will find, A better family. One who will love you, No matter their duties. I will love you too, I will be watching you. No matter your choice, Let me hear your happy voice." So that's what I did. Her words went through my head as I climbed the mountain, hoping that a monster could help me. - "Sans flinched as the shouting downstairs grew louder. The ropes around my wrist seemed to grow tighter as I struggled, hoping to break free from the monster stomping up the stairs angrily. As Sans stepped back, his door was smashed open. I took one long look at the figure standing there and instantly knew: this is why I am here." - (SLOW STORY! MANY SLOW CHAPTERS BECAUSE OF DETAILS)(COVER ART NOT BY ME!)Complete
A Big Book of Short Stories
A collection of my ideas. While most could have been cared for and nurtured until they grew into fully fledged books, they have only matured halfway, creating a efficient way to get stuck in your head. I'll also post short stories that I may or may not try turning into novels. From "The Kid is Hot Tonight," a story about such topics as high school parties and domestic abuse. To "Just Another Nightmare," a story about a kind of hell you might never have thought of. This collection will likely make you question if something is wrong with me. Spoiler alert; there is. It will also show you the farthest reaches of the world and the furthest horrors that I can write about. If you want an update on how the next story is coming along, you can ask me however you want. Seriously I'm so so lonely...
