15 parts. 500 words. One poem. And the ultimate question of humanity. 
-------
We spend our lives running, for something, to somewhere. Sometimes we know, and sometimes we don't. It's a plague, a disease, that dreams have become more about satisfying the world than becoming the best person you can be. And it's worked its way into every aspect of our lives, until judgement, rejection, arrogance, heartbreak, and dissatisfaction have overran our hearts, minds, and willpower. 

We're chasing stars. But why? How? For what? 

Maybe if we truly wish to change this world, we need to start answering that question...

The leaving 11 years on on going stopped up dating for a awhile  by CarolOBrien1
2 parts Complete Mature
The leaving. It was hard, tragic , painful, yet it had to be done, I needed to save my life. I didn't want to start again, this would be the story of finding myself, pulling myself back together, reuniting the happy go lucky youngster I had once been. The shock of leaving took more of a toll on me than I thought it would. I had asked two people to help me move out of the house I had shared with my partner for 8 years, we had been together 23 years in total. The move was done in total secrecy, my partner could never know in advance, it was a very scary time. I had moved various things out of the house and secured a rent on a property nearby. The house I picked was near the School the children went to, and my oldest lad was going to be near his best friend. My Mother told me of the property it was advertised on the web, we both went and had a look, even that was scary, I didn't want to be seen by anyone and became paranoid that I would be caught out. For many months I lived on a new kind of fear, the fear of someone finding out that I planned to leave my abusive partner, though of course no one knew my seemingly happy, funny, generous partner was abusive. Finding the house was one thing, getting the various companies to connect the house and exchanging the information of my current address so they could varify that I was, who I said I was almost drove me mad. The day came to leave, My Mother and a very dear Friend came round as early as possible, we packed as much as we could. This included taking the boys clothes, bedding, toys, stuff from the garden, my stuff. We had 3 cars the packing seem to take all day. By the end we had to get going to be able to unpack, leaving me time to pick up the boys from School and settle them in their new home. I couldn't do it at first,I started to cry then scream, to leave the world I had put so much of my life into, and now in a split second would be leaving was breaking my heart.

First place - Elysian Poetry Biweekly Awards Second place - Summer Magic Monthly Poetry Awards ~~~ "Together we're free, running wild in glee, and Beautiful, it's you and me, forever flying full happily." ~~~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~~ Life is a journey full of pain, Full of fear and questioning; And it's never ending, never ceasing, But there's hope and belonging when you choose to believe. We all have been beat to the ground, Faced the choice on if to rise once more; And no one is left unscathed from the burdens, Scars and memories they aren't sure they can fight anymore. For every girl and for every boy, For all the souls left in the dark, This is a message for the hurting from the healing; For those on the verge of crumbling to dust. You can find liberty, purpose, meaning, You can find life in a brand new way; Don't give in, open up these pages, And light up your path today. Beautiful, strong, and special, Worthy and deserving of true life; There's a reason to smile, to press on another mile, There's a hope for your future in sight. You may not see it, you may not believe it, But let me show it to you; Read on and discover, these words written to inspire, Because these letters.... Are to you.
