Speakout Stories

A personal journey through a minefield of life and those " Selfish " thoughts that are ever present in the back of my throat and on the tip of my tongue but I dare not say. This is part one of how several poignant events that have happened that aided a pivotal role in the shaping and molding of what enabled me to be willing to lose everyone so the Voiceless could be heard, have a choice, how those thoughts inside yourself may just be the ones that you draw courage from. The most raw shameful of things about yourself are the same ones that save you from drowning in the opinions of others.

A novel full of poems, ideas, and worries all generated by me.

They Never Took My Voice is a powerful and emotional short story about a young person whose mother is taken by immigration enforcement. Through vivid memories and personal reflection, the narrator describes the fear that shaped their childhood, the sudden trauma of their mother's disappearance, and the pain of family separation. The story highlights how immigration policies affect real families, not just "cases" or "files.! Despite loss and injustice, the narrator finds strength in speaking out, transforming grief into activism. At its heart, the story is about resilience, identity, and the power of using your voice when everything else feels taken away.

As he positions his customer into the correct posture and says smile their face lights up and their eyes sparkle, but through his experienced lens he knows those eyes are hiding something, something he probably should not have gotten into. What Kabe does may decide the fate of himself and most importantly his customer.

PLEASE READ THIS, ITS SO, SO IMPORTANT AND HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!! I need to speak up about this because staying silent is almost as bad as allowing this to happen. It has taken so long for me to use my platform to tell you about this but what happened with BTS and that German radio presenter has given me courage to speak out. Since the start of the pandemic, there was been an astronomical increase in the number of hate crimes targeted towards Asians. Asians are not a virus. Racism is. This has to stop NOW.

"how did you get these scars ?" Is what everyone asks. Memories of you and me flash through my mind like a movie. Speeds past all the good then stutters through the bad leading me into the hurt that remained in my soul. The hurt that you shook off your shoulders and forced into a bullet that somehow fit onto cupids "fuck her" bow and drove its way into my core and released its insides into my very soul. Yes that very soul that I should've gave to you yet I sit there with a pasted smile on my face and say "that's what happens when you doing it right." The lies I tell just to make it seem like you don't matter eat away at my heart while I try to forget what you did for me. how did I get these scars ? I tried ripping out every part of you that was buried within my veins but I finally figured that if I continued id end up killing what my parents worked hard to create. Injecting myself with thousands of hate filled needles just to make my love for you disappear. to be continued…

A young woman felt in love with a strange, but then few months later the man sudden changed on her and started to treat her so badly by beating and emotional.

A world divided by genetics. It's simple really. Have the people with the strongest genetics for survival stay, have the weak and sickly genes sent away. Now don't get it wrong, this has nothing to do with the color of a person's skin, hair, eyes, the numbers of fingers and toes the person has or even how attractive a person may potentially be. In this world if you have a 30% or higher chance of getting a disease, disorder or malfunction, you're sent away. This causes many complications and stipulations to occur. These two societies that govern and the possibility of a third that has been burned out of history. Follow a boy in greener pastures and a girl who is sleeping under metal coated roads. #33 in genetics 1/10/2019
