Coward

   It was a cold evening, the moon wasn't fully complete and a big grey cloud was blocking the moonlight. In the evening, there was no sound. A young woman entered the bathroom, she took her shirt and bra off then stared at the mirror. She saw nothing. She wasn't blind but yet she saw nothing. The mirror wasn't opaque, yet she saw nothing. She was nothing. She kneels down and faced an empty wall, she bowed then grabbed her belt, wrapped it around her neck and started to tighten it.

   It was a nice day, the sun was shining. School was about to start, the students were flowing through the main gate. Classes started and the teachers started to give their lesson. Like every school, there was different type of students and it was easy to recognize them, from the first to the last row. At the end of the last course, the teacher gave back some test to the students who were either nervous or impatient, all, except one: a young girl, sitting in the first row looking bored and through the window. When she received her test, she got a B.
"Could have been better", said the teacher.
   Back home, her dad asked her if she has got any test today, she said yes, he took her schoolbag, opened it and took the test. She looked down, she didn't want to face him. He slapped her and forced her to face him, she didn't resist.
"What is this?!", he shouted at her with a red face."Did I told you you could relax?!", he said before slapping her again." Look at me when I'm talking!", he said before punching her stomach.
"I-I'm sorry… it won't happen again.", she said, holding her tears.
"You don't know what it is to work, do you? Do you know how it is to work hard?! I'm sweating tears and blood to gain money for this family! And you? You, you're too lazy to study, playing those video game is all you can do, don't you?"
"Well, why do you keep me alive them, without me, there's less mouth to feed, right? Simple, mathematic.", she said before getting punched in her stomach again.
   Her dad threw her to a wall, she hit her head, loosing her glasses. He came to pick her up by the hair, she tries to not cry.
"Stop with your bullshit. Without me you're nothing, you understand? Nothing! Now go to your room and work for your next test, you ungrateful brat."
   He put her in her feet, she apologized and went to her room, her legs were shaking, her heart was running. Like a robot, she took her schoolbag, then her books and started to study. She had a knife in her drawer, yet she never used it. That night, when her father was asleep in the bathtub, she came in the room and stared at him with a disgusted look. She then promised to become stronger to confront him.

   During two years, she gained confidence, she worked hard to become stronger and stronger mentally and physically. She was animated by hate and a carving need of revenge, and the more he beats her, the more she became mad.

   At the end of her graduation, she went home, showed her dad what she had achieved.
"And now? Is it enough? Haven't I worked hard? You treated me as a lazy brat."
"You graduate, I can see that. You should thanks me for that."
"Shut up! I have enough of you! I hate you!"
   Her father turned to her with a look which could petrify medusa.
"What did you just say?!", he said before grabbing her by the neck, lifting her."That's all I get for raising you?! You slut! I'm tired of your whining!"
   He punched her several time in the stomach.
"I don't want to hear your complaints anymore! You're the one who broke this family!", he said while knocking her against the wall.
   She looses her glasses.
"Fuck you!", she shouted while crying.
   He slapped her than threw her on the couch. 
"Go away, I don't want to see you anymore.", he said without looking at her.
   She ran away.

Betrayal


I don't hear your voices,
but I can see.
Time reveals all.
You can't fool me.

I came as a friend.
On an errand I went.
One soul soothed.
Another spent.

Behind my back,
my want you neglect.
Careful what you sow,
I don't forget.

i got 3 months of prem im going to be throwing bbcs dance partys for any bbcs that shows up u can find me on big bang server normally

Bonjour!!

Je me lance. J'avais cette idée depuis longtemps mais jamais le temps de la mettre en œuvre:

Well I come to you with something based on a friend's life experience (a rl friend, not in game xD), he is going through something a bit shitty so I decided to make a piece out of it. He has fallen for two girls, for diferent reasons and now he doesn't know what to do, he is a bit lost so.

It has been a long time since I saw you
You were the most beautiful girl I met
And on that airport I fell in love
For someone I knew I wouldn't have

I've been living my live
With ups and downs
But now you came back
And I fell to the ground again

I can't have a day where I check for your news
I keep hoping I'm missed the same way I miss you
I keep dreaming of your welcoming embrace
One where I'm your man

But now I hate myself for letting me get caught
For there's another that I can't shake off of my mind
She knows I can't stop looking
So she makes a fool out of me

Yes, I know I shouldn't
But I can't stand the distance between us
So this other girl is near
And I can't stand to be lonely again

Hello all,

I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to unexpected RL situations... but my Muse is still actively inspiring me. A pleasant daydream is the source of the following piece; I hope you'll enjoy it.

Coquí

Strolling in the verdant forest the other day in search of a cool
Spot to relax, through waves of sweltering heat and humidity
I followed the meandering path down toward the azure pool
Concealed in the bower therein, where a cheerful croak greated me…
 
    There a small coquí awaited, its large, liquid black eyes peering
    At me intently, its pale brown skin glistening under the sun;
    I must have been dreaming, for it said to me: “Your love is waiting
    Yonder, señor, on the other side of the charco.” Then it spun
 
And dove in the cerulean waters, its batracian shape soon
Disappearing from view; looking up, I spied on the other shore
A vision most endearing… you were there, bright as the sun at noon,
The wet curves of your naked body impossible to ignore…
 
    I undressed and entered the cool, refreshing water, swimming fast
    Toward you, silently thanking that little frog, a spirit guide
    Ostensibly sent to lead my oneiric self to yours, at last
    Reunited in a shared dreamscape where our true feelings abide.


    

Cheers,

Ivan

Resolution


I can't stay in our place anymore.
It fills me with fear.
You made me forget how to be alone.
I know you won't be there.

Miscreants approach me,
pretending to be you.
I pity their empty souls.
They think I'm a fool.

Screaming inside,
now I know why you left.
I couldn't stop it.
I wouldn't have tried.

Your tormentors remain.
They seek me and ask why.
I pretend not to know them.
They can't see me cry.

Soon they will know
the pain they caused us.
Vengeance is coming;
my promise, swift and just.

When you return,
you know where I'll be.
My place.
The loving embrace of the sea.
Forever calling me.

Sparked by a conversation with Bansai last night, I happened upon this and it helped me today:
*credit (author unknown)

"May I be grateful for all that has happened to me, good and bad.  Bad helps to define good.
Sorrow intensifies joy.  Humility brings spirituality.  Disease turns health into a paradise.
Loneliness makes love, both human and Divine, the greatest gift of all."

Simple thread. Just share anything interesting that happened to you in game recently.

Hello, Cath here!

Since we're a community and since we share a lot, I thought it might be a good idea do go further. I talked with Sharp to know if it would a be good thread and he gave me the green signal. 

What is this thread about? Simple, we talk about about your culture. The subject is really large, so it might be difficult to start. 

Here is my example:

I come from the Philippines, a beautiful country composed by 7.107 islands and about 2.000 of them are inhabited, 2.400 others don't even have a name. My homeland is a pacifist one even tho we have an army, and a military duty-like during the high school which is called CAT (citizen advanced training). Anyway, we are also known to be very welcoming, a nice temper and willing to help the others.

This description might be biased, but this is how I see my country, I can be wrong, but who's perfect?

I'm looking forward to get to know your culture!

Love,

Cath
