The night falls as if slain by the sun
Stricken are we
We let ourselves become what we are not
Manipulated by a single breeze
One side of the story begins to take over
Glazing the minds of the innocent with hate 
For i think to myself what has america become?
The free vast lands that hold our history beneath us as if in a prison 
The lands for which hold the lives of people who fought for our rights
We let ourselves become lost in a flurry of emotions
So easily changed so very unstable 
The once so famous lines "We The People..." lost, forgotten
How does one's country become whole, when all that's left is an unknown identity 
Freedom of speech...Thoughts...beliefs... lost in a world of a single view
How did we let our beautiful country fall?
The country that took our aid when we fell down
The country that gave us shelter when all hope was lost
Now i say... we have lost our glory..All Rights Reserved

Crumbling Barriers (paused for the time being, sorry) by FluffyKoi13247

(I suggest you read the tags first because I made some of them pretty funny) The brutal way in which Angels are forced to fall, tying them down to rip off their wings and then dragging down their halos to permanently encircle their necks, all those sentenced to exile are forced to face. Once you leave you may not come back unless ordered to. America, an Angel forced to become one with the Fallen, was gifted to opportunity to re-enter and integrate back into the Angelic Society. Something no Fallen Angel has been able to do. Him and a small group of other Fallen Angels, as well as his found brother, a Demon, became a part of a government run program to see if reintegration was even possible. The small group have no choice but to put up with the insistent bulling and borderline terrorism from the students at an all Angel academy. Some of the Fallen fell once again, in a better way this time. No, that doesn't sound right.. What happened that night was never supposed to happen, so why did you agree to relive all of it? You could've lived perfectly fine how you were in your past life. It wasn't even worth it, was it... #1 in itsgay, we slayed, yas Over 1k reads thank y'all so much!!

The Revelation by dstry0515

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.

Give me shelter by SabastianStefano

Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.

Promises That We will Keep by sinha_m

Two people came together and became one. They started their life with some Promises, which make their life a beautiful journey. They are two different persons but they know that they are incomplete without each other. Their completeness belongs to each other. They are going to share a beautiful life with the help of their Promises, which they made. The Promises are those that they Will Keep and the same will keep them together. ********* He smiles at me and gives me light hug, while murmuring "this girls are too much" I giggle at his words and see the girls are now glaring at me, so I hug him tightly showing my claim on this handsome man. He opens the car's door for me, then he clasps my seat belt, when I'm sitting inside the car, that time I see girls are ogling at his back view, god nowadays girls are totally shameless as well as hopeless. I glare at them but they are not paying attention to me so they don't see my glare, which raised my anger more. I don't have any idea what comes on me, I cup Kabir's cheeks with both my hands and kiss him. #1 in arrangedmarriage 18.12.2022 #1 in MBA many times #1 in childhoodsweethearts 20.02.2022 #1 in Yourstoryindia 24.08.2021 #1 in Wattapadindia 18.12.2022 #3 in Romance on 06.02.2021 #2 in Indian on 18.12.2022 #9 in Care on 15.02.2021 #1 in Jealousy on 24.08.2022 #1 in innocent on 18.12.2022 Please give it a try.

SAVED by nightskybae

What happens when you're stuck in a world you can't escape from? When your thoughts are constantly weighing you down to the point where you're drowning in them. When all you do is overthink everything, and eventually you just become lost. When sometimes you think it's the end for you. That there's no way out of the reality you live in. And everything becomes too much for you. But just when you think about giving up, something happens that changes everything. Something you never thought was possible. Something amazing that saves you. ••••• She was lost. He wasn't. She wasn't looking for love. He was. She caught his eye. Without trying. He saved her. Not even knowing. They're both from two different worlds. But that only brought them closer. With him by her side, only makes her stronger. What's next? Read to find out!

"Almost Green" by NUmaker

Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!

A Day in the Life of the Human Race (Poetry Volume I) by mjhasanotebook

This book is completely random and contains all different kinds of free-verse poetry. ❅ I don't even know where some of these came from, but are pieces of writing somehow developed from the pits of my consciousness that make me wonder what the hell is even going on in there. ❅ I can't even fully make sense of the things I write, so this book is not neat and not strictly one thing, so if that's what you enjoy then by all means, go find something else. ❅ And these writing pieces are going to contradict each other in more ways than one. ❅ So decide to give it a read, or don't. Either way I hope you have a wonderful time in the human experience. ❅ Have a truly wonderful life, and don't forget to be happy.

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

Words Unspoken by shadowofthoughts

There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street, and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye. Open your hands, if you want to be held. Sit down in this circle. Quit acting like a wolf, and feel the shepherd's love filling you. At night, your beloved wanders. Don't accept consolations. Close your mouth against food. Taste the food. You moan, "She left me." "He left me." Twenty more will come. Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence. Flow down and down in always widening rings of being. There's a strange frenzy in my head, of birds, flying, each particle circulating on its own. Is the one I love everywhere? Drunks fear the police, but the police are drunk too. People in this town love them both like different chess pieces. ----------------------------------- All things that we hide in our hearts eat us alive. This book is - full of emotions, love, care and agitation. Well, you need to read this to know what's in. Moreover, It consists of quotes, snippets, poems, bits of advice...Ummm simply deep and random stuff. Go Ahead!

The Days With No Sun by hello-no-one

Sometimes we fear truth over reality. But things get dark and heavy and we play the blame game. We end up hurting others or ourselves even. We don't think before we act or we don't say before we do. This is the evolution of my madness. A cluster of rants and thoughts and poems for you guys. Everything is written how I wanted it to be rants will be long with few pauses and there will be mistakes I might have skipped over. Aha. Poems at the beginning from when I was 15 years old to now when Im 18. Truly a visual of my writing evolution. Edited by @ChemicalStarling who writes a lot but never posts! Read on, loves. I'll see you on the other side...
