I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by. These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.

'i will never stop blooming, like an eternal rose of flame... i may have my times of smolder and small sparks, but i will always become a huge inferno in the end... and nothing can stop me.' Collection of poetry and prose between the ages of 10-15. Almost completely in order, so don't be deterred from the first couple of weird poems. I was trying to find myself through writing during that time. WARNING: I don't edit any of them. These are completely raw. Highest Ranking: #365 in Poetry EDIT: completed! May make another themed poetry book soon. I added an easter egg in the very first poem, using the SoundCloud plug-in (p.s. I made the song ;)

Legend says that one those two people finds their other half they will be stronger than anybody else.If two flames from the same spark...If two earths from the same seed...If two waters from the same drop...If two airs from the same wind...They may even rule the world

I shrank back, pushing his hands away. As my brother glanced nervously at me, I rolled over. I didn't want to see him, or more accurately, I didn't want him to see me like this. I knew deep down I was a mess. But there was no way I could be cured. How could I be happy and go on with my life like nothing had happened, when it was all my fault they were, or already, dead? ***** A family holiday turned bad. When 15 year old Emily finds out her family and her friends' families have booked a cruise to New Zealand, she is mostly excited. New Zealand is amazing, right? It's only a few days travel by boat from their home in Sydney, Australia, and the scenery is beautiful. But when natural forces turn against them, who will survive and who will perish? What will happen to those left alone? One thing is for sure: no one on board will ever be the same again...

Dear Blood, Oh, blood, my love, a paradox you are, A symbol of life, a tragic scar. You flow and ebb, a constant dance, A whispered promise, a second chance. I see your beauty in the sunset's glow, A canvas painted, where passions flow. You stain the earth, a fertile mark, The lifeblood surging, leaving its stark. You whisper tales of battles won, Of ancient wounds, beneath the sun. Of hearts that break, and tears that fall, The poignant echo of a lover's call. In every beat, a silent plea, A symphony of life, for you and me. I crave your touch, a feverish need, The warmth that flows, a whispered seed. My love for you, a crimson stain, A tapestry of passion, etched in pain. For in your depths, I find my soul, A love so fierce, it takes control. So let the crimson tide flow free, A testament to your love for me. For in your veins, my heart resides, A love eternal, where passion abides. Love, Natty. _______________________________ Inspired by Liver leaf ⚠️Warning ⚠️ * This Story contains disturbing content* Do not read if sensitive Published April 2nd 2022 Republished: June 4th 2024

Sydney, Australia is hit by a massive tsunami after a massive earthquake rips through Auckland. What happens to those who survived... Read to find out.

They had both been dealt enough tragedy in their short teenaged lives, more than anyone should ever have to endure. Will two self destructive teens coming together do more harm than good? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know what came over me. The poor guy just asked if he could help and I went all 'crazy psycho bitch' on his ass. I couldn't breath. I needed water. I needed air. Fuck why was is it so hot in here. Was it the fact that the moment his hand left my skin I felt an unbearable need to feel his touch again or was it hearing him ask if I needed help that made me feel helpless and broken once again. I didn't know what it was but I felt like I was suffocating, like the jersey I was wearing was strangling every ounce of oxygen from body. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * This story had been reviewed recently.
