Over the course of many years on Wattpad, I've written short texts and poems, mostly unfinished, which I dared not to review after publishing, for they act as an emotional diary of dispersed thoughts and images imprinted by the many situations of life.

Why call them "Lies", though? I guess being a skeptic at heart, this is how I see the many attempts that literature brings to explain existencial questions such as life and death, beauty and vice, passion and contemplation... but I take a certain pleasure in being fooled by these lies: there lies the origin of the dreams I childishly believe in order to stay earnest to my essence.

I hope you'll notice that pleasure slipping through this gloomy, visceral stream of thoughts.All Rights Reserved

Worlds Of Words by eryn-yeager

\\ Worlds of Words: Journal and Rantbook \\ A world of words in pages away from the busy city lights Words of Words, as the name suggest is to recreate worlds --- our imagination, with words and feelings and emotions. After all, it's a safe world of wattpad away from the harsh reality. It is a journal of thoughts, experiences, memories, desires and whatever i feel like writing i will write here whether they become poems or quotes or philosophical or not. It contains some inspirational, encouraging words-of-wisdom to help people and my own made quote pics tagged as words@aryan and my old ones are words@thedepths It's not a rantbook for sympathy or journal just for myself, it's for letting some people know what they don't about my life and for releasing whatever goes inside my head. I'm just expressing myself as well as i can without being worried about how people will react to it. Cover was designed by me using PicsArt.

Trash Book of Extra. by BilanMuhidin

Warning: I am a weirdo. This will contain some thoughts of mine, some poems, some deep shit, some thoughts I have as I go through the journey of self-exploration, lmao. Some chapters may be seen as too controversial but whatever you know. I mean, reading this is your choice. You don't have to. I mean, I'd like you all to read every chapter but it's not a story book so you may skip some chapters you don't like and read the ones that you do like. P.S. I do not deny that my thoughts are somewhat influenced by my environment and experiences. Also, this is the real me. Some people think I'm quiet and cold-hearted but on the inside I'm actually a big softie with feelings. To be honest, it's kinda my fault since I hate revealing my emotions to other people or even asking for help until I have to. And even then, I start hating myself for being such a weakling. That is a major character flaw of mine that I must overcome!

Paradigm of Voices by WelcometomyHead_

Why all that when you've seen reality and just keep on lying , why the change is supposed to change our way of thinking our perspective on life. Why do we experience pain to be successful or happy one day? What is that one day and when will it come. ???

Kalopsia : A Collection Of Short Poems And Vignettes by ChocoLatte_Lily

"Sometimes you think you want to disappear but all you really want is to be found." it's just a collection of poem-ish pieces (idrk what to call them lol) about love, heartbreak and all kinds of emotions ig and some short vignettes. I basically just write about whatever emotions I feel honestly....... hope you all like it :) The book is rated as mature because it contains graphic sexual content (not every chapter tho, you'll really be able to tell which ones just by looking at the names) Your love and support means a lot <3

Mother Knows Best by SavanaPope

You know how you trauma-dump on your friends and they say, "Omg, that's insane, you should write a book about it!" Well, more people have made that remark to my mother as she exaggerates all her stories, so I took the liberty of taking that advice for myself. I am a writer, after all, and I tend to write out my feelings and trauma to work through it on my own, just to delete it later. But why not make some of those memories that haunt me so much into story form? It's definitely more entertaining. So, you'll find my entire life story, or at least what I remember, here in this book on Wattpad. Each chapter is a real event that occurred in my life, mostly involving my emotionally abusive mother, nearly absent and aggressive father, my runaway older sister, and even a little boy we fostered for a moment. If you're interested or possibly are going through something similar, please read and know that there is hope. I made it out and I am on my healing journey, it is possible.

Poems galore! by Maximum_Ride14

Hey guys! I'm new to wattpad but I do have some talent in writing poems so I'll attempt to stay on top of my posting and what not.... Anyway, enjoy!

Poetically Expressed (2013-2014) - Poetry Book by yuchaemoon

Poems that I wrote in 2013-2014 Some of the poems aren't true and I didn't experience (Especially the romantic ones). Several of them are just the result of my wide imagination (This is what you get when you are a daydreamer and a nightthinker) and a few of them are from my dreams (I felt like writing a poem out of it), requested by some friends, from dramas and movies (I got inspired) and from the books I've read (Too good not to dedicate a poem). ｡^‿^｡ From: April 2, 2012 To: December 5, 2014 -Yuchae
