Whether it was for fun or as a profession, during middle school and all througout high school I knew I wanted to write. Now I'm 20 years old trying to improve my skills after taking a couple years hiatus. The stories I write are aimed towards young adults, but I hope they're fun for everyone!

Summary: I wrote this first and since it had a question in it I figured I’d post it over at Sunday Scribblings (link can be found on the sidebar under prompts) for the Ask prompt.
Secrets Between Friends
Words repeat;
we’re stranded
on a circle’s arc.
Don’t listen to the
meaning, instead
twist it around.
Can’t you see
how your words
slowly kill me?
Forcing a smile
each day is
strenuous,
but worth every
effort if your
pain is diluted.
Oh! How I wish
one day love
will be requited.
Will I ever hear
your sweet words
directed towards me?

heartfelt words.. I do hope you hear those sweet words someday. Or perhaps you will heal and move into a place where your own words are sweet towards yourself. Eitherway, very nice post.

Sad but realistic. I too hope you will hear those sweet words.
Comment by Granny Smith August 8, 2008 @ 6:52 pmHi Anna! I can relate to your poem – well, can’t we all at some point in our lives? Anyway, if I can relate, it’s a good poem :)
Comment by devil mood August 8, 2008 @ 11:17 pmI read the little introduction to your blog and I’m so happy your dedicating yourself to writing. I’ve been writing since I was a kid too and right now I think I’ve finally realised it’s the thing for me :)
stirring words with a sadness about them!!!

Comment by Barbara Torris August 10, 2008 @ 2:06 amSadly, I’ve found that when the object of my unrequited love finally got around to noticing me, I’d already spent too much of myself.
A very well done poem. Thank you for sharing it.
