Last year I wrote this for my Honors Literature course. During our poetry unit, we read the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock along with many different poems. We were told to pick one and write a story of what events would occur afterwards or what happened before the poem or any other loose adaption of the poem. I got a 100 on this assignment. Many writers have pondered where T. S. Eliot got the idea for the Love Song and who exactly J. Alfred Prufrock was. Some have even stated that Alfred is an alter ego to Eliot or some hidden side of himself he never showed. I took that into perspective. In this story, our main character, T. S. Eliot, fights against his depression and must make a decision between life and death, love and hate, sadness and happiness. I suggest reading the original poem before reading this one, so you can see the references to his poetic style.

The Words I couldn't Say
This is a place for me to put all the things I wish I said but I just couldn't. These are a way for me to "say" these things without actually saying them to the person I want to. I probably won't ever go back or read any of these because it's like revisiting a bad memory so don't expect much in terms of editing. Also I wouldn't consider this poetry but it is laid out that way. WARNING Talk of depression, suicide, anxiety, and self harm. Don't read if you don't like things like that and may get triggered. I don't mean to cause anyone problems of any sort, but these are the things I feel and can't help. Please keep negativity away as this is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Thank you.

You can't make me happy. Those were the exact same words Louis had said over five years ago. Harry could literally see his heart dropping and breaking on the ground. He swallowed and held Louis tighter. "Please, Lou" It was nothing more than a sob at this point. "I'm begging you. Please don't do this. Please" His feet trembled and he couldn't keep himself on his feet anymore. The only thing that held him was his hand on Louis arm. "You promised. Please" "I shouldn't have made that promise in the first place" • Louis had broken Harry's heart five years ago. Within minutes, everything had changed. Not only their relationship had fallen apart. With it One Direction did. Now, five years later in 2020, there will be a world tour on the occasion of 10 years of One Direction. Suddenly the two, who haven't talked a word for five years, are forced to spend at least six months together. They both have to overcome the past and the problems of the present for a future together. Will Harry forgive Louis? • TRIGGER WARNING. This story contains mature content including smut, suicidal thoughts, self harm, depression and talk of abuse.Complete

Wish I Was Home
"I can't keep doing this," he said as he stopped and glanced back at me. "You can't keep running either," I said loudly. That made him turn and face me fully. "Me? I'm the one always running? What about you? You've ran how many times in the past? You've let everyone else control our relationship. Everyone but me!" "You told me to leave you alone," I yelled. "You said you didn't want any of this anymore. You left the fucking country! You went and never even considered what that would do to me!" "I lied too Louis! You hurt me and I wanted to hurt you back!" he yelled. "Maybe a friendship is out of the question. Our relationship is beyond repair. All we do is lie to each other." He turned to walk out again and he opened the door. I rushed to him and reached for his arm. "Harry don't go please." I had never stopped him from leaving before. This time my heart wouldn't let me let him go. "You said you cared and you missed me too." I spoke in a low voice and used his own words against him. A low thing to do but I needed him to understand how much I was hurting. Note: this is a story of pure fiction. If Harry and Louis are not be together in real life then, we as a fandom, have created a beautiful and tragic love story! I hope you enjoy my work. I put my heart in it. If you're not a Larry shipper don't read this. If you are then I hope you enjoy!!!Complete

And I mean, just don't be an asshole. Thanks. Kisses <3Complete

They say that a lack of control is the start of most problems. Well, a childhood fear of the dark isn't so compliicated, all you need for that is a wand or a lighter. It's a pity that they won't solve the rest of my issues... // Trigger warnings: Self harm, burning, death, some gay shit (but if you're on Wattpad you kind of have to be ok with that but, you know, just in case, there are still some crazies out there) Obviously, I can take no credits for any of the beautiful characters that our lord and saviour (not Deliah Smith) Queen JK has created, so obviously all credit goes to her, I just made up a plotComplete

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who was unable to see her own worth. She found beauty in the simple things, like roses, kind smiles, good music, and a deep conversation. But she was not simple, so she was unable to see anything worth while about herself. This girl was beaten down by the cruelties of this world, but then she meets him, her prince charming. But can even he convince her of her true beauty? Or will she ruin any good that comes into both his and her lives forever? ----- This is a story about a girl named Jane who is forced to be someone she is not. I wrote this story because I feel like we all have to conform to be how society wants us to be, when that's not who we really are, sometime in our lives. But we all have an escape. Sometimes it's through music, reading, friends, or whatever. Jane's escape comes through a boy named Mystery who helps her grow and flourish who she really is. Please read, it means so much to me because writing and helping others is my personal escape! I love you all so much! It's almost completed! I understand that my grammar is not perfect so please be patient with me because I will fix it someday! ;) *NOTE* This story contains some graphic scenes of self harm and suicide. Read at your own risk. This story was meant solely for awareness.Complete
