Psyche by AB_Monnette

"I don't want to be the strong independent woman. I'm tired of having all that responsibility, I'm tired of not being catered to. I just want to be loved, want to be helpless, want to cry, want to be catered to. I'm tired." My heart aches at her words. "Be mine and you will never be tired again." She laughs at my words. Not believing the truth behind them. -- Warning: I said psyche was Ace because I wrote this young, when I was coming to terms with my own sexuality and feeling the same things Psyche felt. Did not know the term demisexual existed back then, I will definitely edit this book and use the proper terms in the future.

BROWN SKIN | BOOK 1 by StoriesofaSTEMgirlie

Many people don't know me, but I don't know who me is either. I can't tell you if I'm the loud or rude stereotypical black girl because Mom would say I need to speak up. I'm using my library voice with strangers. I can't tell you I'm the introvert because I like good company. I was born into a world that judges me before they get to know me. And try to attack the concept of happiness. I need it most in this filthy world we live in. I need you. Because you listened and didn't say a word. Just you being there was enough to make me believe you understood the troubles in my sentences and words spoken in a foreign language. I want myself back but I can't remember who I was. || Ebonee desires life to the fullest content as a brown skin but is constantly faced with life's realities that can never turn into her sudden dreams.
