Introduction

In March 2013, following the completion of From Within The Shadow, I reached the point of feeling and being like I'd found my way out from within the shadow.
With each step it felt like I was opening like a flower:

Blossoming, growing stronger, taller, daily.
Pushing outwards, the seeds, to attract the honey bee, 
like a chest being puffed out.
Petals like eyes, seeing the world, feeling the wind, the sun, 
the rain.
Dancing, strutting, feeling a part of the world, stretching outwards to reach my full potential.


Out From Within the Shadow

I now stand out from within the shadow 
tall, upright and in full glow
behind me now is where it is 
only to visit as I reminisce.

Sweeter memories can now be found 
as all the tangles have been unwound 
and freedom is now the path for me 
and with my new eyes the world I see.

Can I Say Goodbye? by Missdelighted

I'm always searching for something worth staying for but I can't seem to find that until then please don't mind me because I'm just a traveler passing through. When I'm not satisfied or happy I'll leave and find a new path, so just let me say goodbye... Can I say goodbye? I wrote till my hands bruised and heart bled. I wrote and wrote in hopes that some day, somebody will understand my words and all the things I wish I could say... Each poem is a story. My story. Some are fictional but most of them are true. I know you're curious. From painful heart breaks to high school stories. A person dealing with mental illnesses, fears and abuse. Won't you like to know about the drama?

Wave (Book 2) by Anniezie

I had survived the first. That was then; this is now. The blindfold of so many pills slowly died away and first though my finger then my head, a passion, a hurt and a need filled me as every moment was consumed with words; every breath with wisps of ink. But they were not all captured and somewhere in the deep abyss of living, lies the unspoken, almost unfelt feelings of decades in months. This is the half-empty account off all those nights from December through into the new year and the end of March. ...I pains me to share it. But it also makes it just not my problem anymore and that is something I long for- freedom and peace. Please note that all grammatical and linguistic, as well as those in punctuation and spelling or placing of words were intentional. If you LIKE this and want me to write a commentary on each poem and picture (as in my previous collection Apfel), please show me in comments and votes :) PLEASE DO NOT COPY any of the poetry or pictures.

Unfulfilled Desire by Yomnicorn

23rd September 2009, I realized the first time effect of love at first sight theory. There were butterflies. I was gazing at your lips. How perfect your smile was. I wished in that very moment that I could give you the ability to see yourself from my eyes and then ask God how could he be so generous that he created such a beauty... My skin tingled where you touched me and I could feel my heart beat....every single pound in my chest so hard that I thought it might come out. I finally admit to myself what I knew all along, but was too afraid to admit it: I liked you. A lot. And I wanted to be with you.But my innocence couldn't tell where was I heading towards? You were my unfulfilled desire! This story is actually my personal experience, which I'm sharing with you guys. Minus the name/place thing(they have been changed for privacy). I hope you like the effort. The photographs are taken from Google. Thanks!

Petals full of thought by iiBlueboy

All my thoughts in jumbled up words, scrambled and mixed stanzas, Slightly dusted in deep mindful thinking that keeps me up at 4 am watching the sun rise Trigger warning some have to do with Depression,Self harm, eating disorders,and the Dark truths that lie beyond the silver lining of a smile and what those around you show and keep inside

My Life by celaenaaaaa

This would be really boring. You don't need to waste time reading this. Not just boring, it might be even heartbreaking. The story was still going on, and therefore I had no idea whether it would end in a tragedy or not, but I had a feeling it would. And it did. We broke up under the striking, burning sun of 19th September, 2016. I write usually in a monotone description, therefore don't judge if you read this. My name is Rue, and I wish my life could be like the picture I put as a cover of my story, colourful, calm, and with a soulmate who keeps loving me all the way. However, things never happen as what we would like them to happen. I don't love my life, but I want to remember all that once happened. I want to look back one day, when I'm fully grown, and smile or tell my old self right now that I'm dumb. Mostly and lastly, I just want to remember him, the one I very much remember right now, but will fade in times to come. It is already fading now, and I only hope that I can write them all before they disappear from my mind, forever...

in love with Mr wrong by cardytana

Our eyes met, and my pulse soared. The world narrowed to a single, thrilling possibility. Each whispered word, every tender touch, pulled me under his spell. I was lost, and I knew it. The hug that changed everything became our sanctuary, our haven. Yet, shadows of doubt crept in, taunting me. Had I transformed the untouchable heartthrob or merely become a stepping stone? The question haunted me, a constant hum in the background of our intoxicating romance. Was our love a work of art or a fleeting masterpiece, destined to fade?"

My 9years of studying in my grades was a challenge & with lots of dream, life become so challenging that I had to struggle in education & in family... But during those years I know for sure writing became my abit & my kind of thing to do, reading became my motivation, but I never new the true nature of what I was doing. Than I came across the app Wattpad I begun reading books offline, some how I got a feeling what should it be like just sharing a part of me that I truly love doing, so I did write some offline books to read. I began to realize my true nature was Reading & Writing it was my passion, talent, ability that I was living with & never noticed of, which I never new was hidden till it grow out of me to know my true nature.
