no one man.

I would like to make a safe, non-judgmental place for authors to share their writing, whether they be books, stories, poems, or any other such work, whether it be posted directly, or in links.
Also to be able to give and take constructive criticism and praise. you do not need to post work to be active, just say whether you like it or not, ideas, or just enjoy it.

With this, I hope we can grow from each other, and help our skills mature.

This is not an individuals thread. This is for all. To help anyone who wants, or simply would like to share what they have.

AWAKENING

Quote:

The world flows around me fluidly. People are wisps and fragments of color in the stream of life flowing around me. I sit here, wondering, waiting for an answer to why we're here, why we endure this pain and humiliation of being alive. Sitting up in my bed, i look around my room. It is decorated with silly, stupid things that hold no meaning to me, only placed here so that my parents assume I'm normal; so they stop telling me I need to be like everyone else.

I stand from my bed, and talk to the opposing wall. raising a hand, I rub the plaster. It is uneven, and dry, resulting from the horrible patchjob to cover the hole I had recently punched into it.

Everything seems to stand out in sharp relief. the burns covering my desk, the drawings of the things only i could imagine, yet could still not portray correctly; the several other fist shaped holes, and the scars.

"Not now," I whisper to myself. "No, not yet."

Then, falling back onto my bed, I turn up my music to drown the world, and sink back into oblivion.
