"And I will try to fix you"Complete
it was all just a scream for help.
Why wasn't anyone noticing? Was it not obvious he was sad? How come nobody had realised when George only wore long sleeves? What would it take for them to see he needed help? He wanted help. He needed help. How could he get it without asking - because asking was scary and he would do anything besides ask. Even if it tore him apart. Then someone realised. #1 ❣️georgenotfound - 28/10/21 #1 ❣️eatingdisorder - 28/09/21 #1 ❣️ selfharmawareness - 09/10/21 #1 ❣️angst - 15/10/21 #2 ❣️dnf - 29/10/21 #3 ❣️karlnap - 07/10/21 #3 ❣️dreamnotfound - 17/10/21 #7 ❣️sapnap - 30/10/21 #7 ❣️dreamwastaken - 30/10/21 #9 ❣️dreamnotfound - 15/10/21 #10❣️georgenotfound - 25/10/21 #13❣️dream - 28/10/21 -finished 08/10/21- - cover by li-wri (tumblr) or liwri_art (insta) -Complete
Nobody's girl
Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?

My Perspective
Have you ever wonder how a person who struggles mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually is brave enough to continue on with their daily lives, as if everything is okay? Well, "My Perspective" explores the real and uncut experiences most people would have given up on. It gives the people who suffer in silence the most, a voice of their own. Speaking for the voiceless and giving them tools and insight that could be used throughout their journey. I know battling with mental health, depression, anxiety, insecurities and more can make you feel alone, misunderstood, and suffocated. While, "My Perspective" also addresses the struggle of keeping one's relationships with others and theirselves afloat, steady and healthy. I hope that this mental masterpiece that I call my own gives you guys the motivation and alignment that you need to keep going. Giving the universe the chance to see you for who you really are.Complete

Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town. The past year has been tough and her family moved to give her a fresh start. Her life before the move had been hard and she had been spiraling. She quickly makes new friends and even enemies. She builds up walls to protect herself. But what happens when an unlikely person helps her to tear down her walls and heal. Will she be able to survive in this new place and keep her secrets intact?Complete
Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideationComplete
