Why I Write

Ever since I was little, when mum used to read me stories to bed until I could read, I have always wanted to write. Even when I could read, I insisted mum could keep on reading me to sleep because I loved being transported to another world. When I actually learnt to read, through the…

Writing Weekends

The Mirror I stare into those hollow glass eyes Are they hers or are they mine? Feeling empty with nothing to live for No energy of life worth living She is not real anymore But a ghost girl A line drawing A line drawing,  she practices every day and night A tattoo, Her mark Or…

Writing Weekends :)

This is a new thing I’ve been meaning to start since returning the blog. I don’t often go on Facebook so I turn to Pinterest for ideas for food, fashion and interior design ideas. I mainly use it for character and story ideas so I’ve made a folder of ‘writing prompts’ where I’m doing flash…

Poem: The City Lights

The City lights Shine like stars Below the tower Above the sky They remind me I’m not alone No one is ever alone In this bleak world But someone is always there To help, to hug, to hold Its the nights I cry I look up to the sky And down to the city lights…

Keeping on Track Part 7 of 10

Lily There was grunts and groans of annoyance as people got up from their seats saying things like; “typical trains” “completely unreliable” “last time I take the train home after all this! Should’ve hired a taxi in the first place!” Ben and I just sat there soaking it all in. Someone plied open the  automatic…

Keeping On Track Part 5 of 10

Ben She has no tattoos which makes it harder for me to point out and ask her about it…shit, what do I do? I’m amazed she even has them on show for everyone to see so casually as if it’s no big deal. Maybe she’s more tipsy than I thought that she hasn’t noticed or…

Keeping on Track-Part 3 of 10

Ben She looked at me as stunned as I felt that the words were coming out my mouth. I don’t know, I just, felt I had to help her. The barrier men looked at me questionably. I took a deep breath. “That right darlin’?” Why do I sound like an idiot?! She merely nodded. Her…

Keeping on Track (Short Story-Chapter 1)

Lily “DON’T!” I scream caving my body in. I won’t let him near me. He can’t come near me. “Touch. Me.” “Okay!” He holds his hands up in surrender as if he’s the innocent one. Maybe he is, I wouldn’t know. The lines keep blurring between good and evil, right and wrong, what’s in focus…

Okay, so I’ve wanted to do another mental health awareness post for a while and boy am I not done with that section yet as there’s always so much to say about it. Today, however, I thought I’d touch on something that is less talked about than depression and anxiety these days but has loads…
