Her twin was her polar opposite, but still she followed after her. Asking for her talented and outgoing sister to teach her the secret to be 'popular'. She followed the instructions and help she received, hopeful to finally rise as her sisters equal. To finally escape from the long shadow that she cast. She was just unknowingly diving deeper into it. The moment she realized, the moment she opened her eyes, she made a vow to herself. "I'm not my sister, and I'm done being in her shadow." And she planned to keep it. However to keep such a promise she had to learn how to be herself, and what better way to do so than by calling upon the one thing that set her apart from the thousands of people in the world. Magic. Then again she could simply take it a step further and travel to a fictional realm through the power of her fluffy rabbit named Peach, that can oddly become a spellbook to?! Destination? Black Butler of course!

Just a couple of poems. I'm not a pro but enjoy, feel connected and get your reading on. All poems were written in the month of June 2019 except for the first 2 poems that were written late 2018.

"This is more than words. This is the voice of generations flowing through me. Read carefully, feel it, and let it rise in you." This poem is a declaration of ancestral power and resilience. It carries the voices of generations whose strength, courage, and sacrifices are etched into the blood and bones of their descendants. Every barefoot step, every whispered song, every secret dance is alive in the speaker. It honors the women who walked through storms, healed with herbs, and sang beneath the moonlight; the ancestors whose prayers and sacrifices built the foundation for survival against impossible odds. This poem reminds us that every tear we shed, every step we take, every breath we draw, is an extension of those who came before. "Roots That Sing" is a tribute to the unbroken lineage of resilience, courage, and sacred hope, calling us to rise and carry the legacy forward. "Powerful illustration of a figure standing tall, surrounded by glowing, intertwining roots and ghostly silhouettes of ancestors. Symbolizes the strength, resilience, and unbroken lineage of generations flowing through one person."

a collection of extra scenes for the Rise Up Trilogy/Kinship Anthology that didn't fit into the actual trilogy, but are still 100% canon.

"Justice is the one thing you should always find." It might be a line in a country song, but Aidan Finch heard it long before Toby Keith and Willie Nelson came out with Unleashed. His adoptive father taught Aidan that justice wasn't a political issue or a matter of what someone wanted. It was a human right, and if it came in the form of revenge, then so be it. Aidan himself never really believed in taking revenge. Instead, he focused on music, simply because it could bring people joy. Chance encounters always seemed to work out in his favor, and that certainly seems to be the case when a handsome stranger approaches him. But only a few hours after meeting him, Aidan finds himself roped into an ancient revenge scheme as an unwilling player with a trio of the most unlikely allies. Fire has always been deemed unpredictable and unstable, but that couldn't begin to cover it. He's all for justice, but there are lines that ought to be drawn and never crossed.

A short story about a kid and a bully.

Its a new School Year With new Freshman and New Fights. Y/n L/n Is the leader of The Jury and is very skilled in combat so no one messes with her or her group. Despite being stereotyped as Heartless People, Y/n and her group do stand for what's right. One day The Jury is walking around Cherry High when they spot the new student of their class being shoved to the ground and cornered. Marshmello wasn't sure he was going to survive another two years of high school, if it wasn't for Y/n and The Jury. Although they did save him from being beaten to a pulp Mellow declines their offer of joining them. But as he watched them walk away, her words echoed in his mind. "If you ever need a friend, we're not hard to find. See ya around Mellow!" Enjoy and spread mushrooms 🍄

A poem hoping that people will really listen to each other with not just open minds but with open hearts as well, especially during these trying and difficult times.
