Turned my life into art, de _teenage_poet_

My collection of poems in the past three years which leads to character development. Realistic incidents, illusionary love, hardships, it's quite a journey. Some say I'm unique and some say I'm Raw. Some say my work is relatable and some feel they can relate. That's crazy though, makes me want to be heard. I was quiet as feathers basically my whole life, closed up, antisocial, lost. Until I started writing. Although, I didn't open my mouth, I was even louder than before. Excuse me, I am louder!

Shut Up I'm Thinking, de hollihannah

With writing a story you can create the emotion and genuine reaction of people in a situation so everyone can understand. I feel that if I can tell a story real enough, then others going through the same struggles would see what the true outcome looks like. This compilation of stories includes pieces I wrote for creative writing classes, stories I started but didn't feel I could enlongate, poetry that's personal, and short pieces I wrote for fun. *Bold writing is just me either explaining it or adding my two cents*

Poems and Others, de hickchick218

These are poems, short stories and essay's I've written for my online poetry class and creative writing online class. I'm also going to post the stories I write when I take a Horror writing class so I hope you guys enjoy! Give feedback if you would like, if not that's cool. Maybe show some support? :) Thanks! ~Kaylee Nicole Landis~

The Flames of the Wild Fyre [Complete✔], de PiscesPleasure

[My nubile body ripened with lustful desire for every inch of this Seraph of a being. Finalizing our orally initiated bliss he steps back as his nimble fingers gracefully prance across the fleshy meadows of my thighs. My orbs soaking up the beautiful illustration of Maverick before me. My blood rushing through my body like Grand Rapids, drowning out any argument to stop, slow, or refrain from fully engaging his scrumptious body with mine. His black sweat pants gracefully serving my greedy eyes every inch of his swaying appendage, like a waiter serving the finest hors d'oeuvres. I willingly accept, being the only guest in attendance. "I missed you mama." Lust and desire threaded through his words like a needle and thread through the finest of silks.] Fuck a get even in New York we one up a bitch. When you try to hold us down we claw our way to the top. "Get it how you live", our famous motto in the concrete jungle. Almost broken by the death of her parents and rape by a foster brother, Lyric Fyre knows all too well the struggle of the concrete jungle. Catapulted into the life of a stick-up girl, a hustler, and college student; juggling immeasurable responsibilities and secrets. Come along as Lyric braves the trials and tribulations life throws at her. Along for her wild journey of self-exploration are her best friends, new family, and possible love of her life. Will Lyric allow her circumstances to break her or will she be the rose that grows from the concrete? Will she be burned by her past or will she be the wild Fyre that consumes everything in her path? #1 Black Love of 8.2k 3/2/21 #1 Perseverance of 1k 12/18/23 #7 College Love of 741 3/10/21 #8 Black Girl Magic of 1.82k 12/21 #16 Strong Women of 1.05k 3/8/21 #57 Survival of 39.1k 3/10/21 #13 Erotice Romance of 9.31k 7/4/21 #1 BlackWomanBlackMan of 1.18k 5/2022
