A poem I wrote

A short story of losing someone.

No judging--just read and comment if you can relate.

"listen..I'm sorry for what I've done, i -i think i like you..."

Don't worry about it

poem

Dragging out first gear driving by won't take back the mistakes you made & won't fix the promises you didn't keep. Pity falls straight from my heart for the next one, because you treated me like some discarded junkyard parts.

Renee Good is a teenage girl that was going through some of her old things and found the diary her parents gifted her for her birthday a couple years ago, she decides that it's time to finally write in it and express everything she keeps inside.

My self-worth was non existent and I thought that by him giveing me the basic human decency (that only person should have) made me think he was I good guy. So when he asked me out I didn't know how to say no, so I said yes. And then he was really sexual and made me say "I love you" way to soon so I broke up with him for a lot of differnt reasons. And a few days ago my teacher was like,"how/why did you guys even date?." That really made me think, and I was like 'hey why don't I write a list/poem of all the reason I dumped him.' So this is for anyone who's ex was toxic. Who cussed them out, only saw them as a sex object, made them feel inferior, like you didn't' matter. Who's ex compared you to their ex's while you were dating, or was narcissistic as heck.

Shayla Jean-Baptiste has always been too much. Too loud when she laughs, too bold when she enters a room, too opinionated when she opens her mouth. And now? She's too tired to keep pretending she's got it all together. Between finishing her master's degree, blogging her secrets under a name nobody knows, dodging situationships, juggling complicated friendships, and showing up as the "therapist" in a Haitian family that doesn't believe in therapy-Shayla is over it. Over her mom asking why she's still single. Over her dad minding everyone's business but his own. Over her sister's drama, her brother's silence, and a church that wants her nodding even though she stopped believing a long time ago. Rent is high. Jobs are draining. Cancel culture stays lurking. And love? Don't even ask. Overit is a sharp, funny, and brutally honest coming-of-age story about surviving your twenties as a Black Haitian woman in a world that wants you to smile pretty while carrying everybody else's secrets.

Samantha is a girl who spends most of her days being someone she's not to protect others and to protect herself from others. Her life is a mess and she wishes it gone. By her side to support her are her friends Carl Richards and his girlfriend Mary Reyes. They strive to keep her safe and happy because they understand her and don't want her to suffer.

A poem about when I'm done. Done with the lies, the cheating, everything. When I'm done with him.

Camille is the older sibling of two celebrity siblings and she's been done with the whole celebrity thing for a while now. She'll be graduating soon and be able to say goodbye to being next to the limelight she detests so much. But her siblings have a tough audition coming up that is going to send everyone in the family spiraling.

A man awakens from a box in the middle of nowhere.
