You say I've changed
But maybe you just never knew me
And maybe I never knew me either
Because I was too busy hiding behind what people might think
And convincing myself that silence feels anything like freedom
Let me tell you, it does not
It feels more like being under water and trying to scream
And want to know the really crazy thing?
I thought that that was how my life was supposed to be, and how it was supposed to sound
Constantly drowned by trying to be a "her" and wishing I was something better than myself
Now I know that comparison and fear are the villains that killed me
They say I've changed
But my villains do not know me

Acceptance | MxM Gay Romance |
After getting away from his cruel father's tyranny, Randall has to learn how to live and accept the person he was meant to be - with a little help from a local bartender... ***** An empty shell is all that's left of twenty-five-year-old Randall now. After his homophobic father found out he was gay, he had to learn to act someone else to survive through the years of abuse and humiliation. Now he has forgotten the person he once was. He refuses to remember the person he was supposed to be. Emotionally detached and unable to create relationships, Randall's lonely days repeat themselves in the same destructive pattern: go to work, work out, watch TV, and drink, with no way out of that dark, miserable corner he has built for himself. When a gay bar opens doors in his neighborhood, the fragile balance he has created with himself is in danger of being destroyed when his true self tries to break free. To make things worse, there is a new guy at his gym. A kind guy who has a nice voice and loves talking people's ears off. A guy who can see his suffering. A guy who can teach Randall to feel once again. (Warning, this novel contains verbal and physical abuse!) || Gay || BxB || MxM || LGBT || Romance ||Complete

Why would you love me? | Gay/MxM/BxB
[Recent Note: I'm not really proud of this story at all now, it's way too long and boring, you're free to dismiss it, but if you're into senseless fluff, lightning quick relationship growth, too much slice of life, and unrealistic and bland characters, you're in for a ride.] This story is heavily inspired on books like Heartstopper by Alice Oseman while still being different in it's own way (Who am I kidding it should be called plagiarism) Description: Two boys meet up on high school, one is gay and worried all the time and one is not and he's calm and fun, the worried boy gets a crush, but how would anything happen between the boys? - - - - - - - - - "What's wrong, Isaac?" "Uhm, it's nothing, i just didn't thought this would happen to me... Like i never thought... Why would you love me?" "Isaac, it's not why would i love you, it's why wouldn't i love someone that cute and caring." "I-i... Thank you." "Don't worry, i didn't think either that something like this would happen to me." "I love you." "I love you." - - - - - - - - - - Newer Note (Late May 2025) I hate this story, I truly do. Only reason it's up is because people have it saved and I don't wanna take it away from them. But if i were to rewrite the whole story now, it would be 50 times better. I just don't get the point of remaking this shameless plagiarism.Complete

Zane and Travis look through a black and white lenses. The entire world growing up was dull.

This story follows Zane RoMeave and Travis Valkrum through a more semi realistic/semi dramatic, darker teenage high school experience. Will they learn to deal with their mental illnesses, family issues and the sexual tension between them or completely lose everything? TIGGERS: depression, self harm, sexual activities, drug/sexual/physical abuse, language, violence, over dosing, starving, trans/homophobia (the entire book is a trigger to be honest. there are triggers at the beginning of each chapter)Complete

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete

Creepin | BxB
" Let's keep this on the down-low. Nobody has to know. " He cooed in my ear, pushing up on me like a dog in heat. " I'm quick to cut a nigga off, so don't get comfortable. " I smirked, pushing his face back with my palm. He continued to pursue me knowing he had a secret of his own. I liked the way he set his eyes upon me and determined he'd have me. He made me feel comfort in all areas that I'd lacked before. There was something burning in the back of my mind... was he really mines? We only spoke late night, and those conversations were brief. When he was around me he was like a kid in a candy store trying to get his hands on anything he could from me. That was until I saw him... with another. That's where his time had been going.
