BEING MALAY is a 'collage of spoken word poetry... left muted' as it would be called. These poems are only performed in private but hope still surfaces for them to be heard. Read them in your heart while you follow the journey of this queer 15-year-old as he unravels the unanswerable question of what it means to be part of a race on one hand and random threads of thoughts being strewn together in one piece on the other.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete![Her Suspicious Healer [ 📕2 of Broken & Healed Series ] (Slow Updates)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/382525974-256-k866812.jpg)

"It wasn't lies. Bal gözlüm! Please, listen to me. I love you, aşkım," he said, his hands gently cupping her face . "Love?" she scoffed, her voice rising with anger. "What kind of love are you talking about? Manipulation? Trickery? I don't even know who you are... I hate you!" She yanked his hands away, her body shaking with rage. "Why?" she sobbed. "Why did you heal me, only to break me again? What was my fault?" He remained silent. Her words hit him like a tidal wave. "From this instance, I'm leaving this house, leaving your damn life. I can't stay another second with a liar, fraud, manipulative man like you!" she said, pushing past him, her heart heavy with disgust. But before she could take another step, he was in front of her, lifting her with one arm with terrifying strength. His other hand traced her trembling lips, a dark intensity in his eyes. "Do you think I'll let you go? His voice was like ice, but his grip tightened on her waist. "The moment my eyes landed on you became Mine. And about manipulation, trickery..I'll do it every single time to get you...to keep you." he said darkly locking his grey eyes on her honey orbs. His lips pressed against hers in a bruising kiss. "I healed your scars, didn't I?" he murmured against her lips. "I'll heal them too. Give me a chance, Bal Gözlüm" __________ Story of Sarah Ahmed and Alif/ Faris Rahman is here🖤✨ A tale woven with lies, manipulation, duality but what overshadowed all of them is His Love for Her.

All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced, copied, or distributed without permission. ***************************************** At its heart, The Rays of Hope is about what it means to heal. A boy fighting cancer while old grudges close in around him. A girl growing up without the love she deserved, learning to find her own worth despite everything. A brother who loses himself trying to hold onto the one person he can't bring back. A young man shouldering his family's world before he's had the chance to live his own. A teenager whose love for someone became a wound she carried across oceans - and a career that gave her enemies. A girl caught between loyalty and survival, standing in the gap for someone who has no one else. These characters don't have perfect lives. But they have each other - and sometimes, that's where hope begins.
