A snippet of (dark) poetry

Last night I was in a really dark mood for some reason, and I came up with this little piece of poetry. It's not quite long enough to be an actual poem, but hey, it's a poetry snippet. Maybe I'll make it longer if I have more ideas. But I thought I'd share it here anyway, even if it's not quite finished.

                                                                    

I’m the one with the tattered heart and the tattered soul and the tattered skin
I’m the one with the broken fingers from trying to dig out the grave I’m in

Desperately trying to fight away the demons that want to come barging in
But how can I even try to protect myself from something as dark as what comes from within?


                                                                            

Yeah, I was in a really crappy state of mind last night, I don't know what was up with me. But hey, if feeling bad inspires me to write, it can't be all bad can it?

Don't have anything more to say, really, so I'll just leave it at that.

    It's not /that/ dark, although it is somewhat creepy. But it does make one think, and it reminds me of an MCR or Fall Out Boy song, I don't know why..

      I've never listened to songs by either of those, I feel like I should... I'd probably like it

      YOU SHOULD! They're really good, also listen to Panic! At the Disco and Twenty One Pilots while you're at it!! :P
      (music is my second favorite thing besides reading and writing, just to warn you!)

      I've heard of all of those and I've always wanted to check them out, but I never got round to it :P I am a master procrastinator XD
      I like music too, but I tend to always listen to the same songs, the ones that are my favourites, so my knowledge of music is very limited... XP

    It /is/ a little creepy, but I like your poetry skills :D I came up with a four-verse prophecy for someone who probably isn't going to write a story :D

      Thanks! Yeah, writing poetry can be really fun, I don't write much of it though, cause I never really have any good ideas... I want to start writing more

"You Can't Change The Past": A short story

You can't change the past. It's the only thought in my mind as I sit alone in my room. It spins around and around in my head, obliterating every single other thought. You can't change the past. You can't change the past. I wish I could, though. I wish it with all my might. I wish I could step through a portal and appear, say, a year into my past. I could grab hold of myself at that time and explain what would happen, and how easily I could avoid so much grief and heartache. Just a decision. Just by making a single decision differently my life could change completely. I laugh bitterly. That sort of thing only happens in sci-fi movies. In real life we're forced to live with the consequences of our actions. No time travel. No easy way out. I've made so many mistakes. So many. I didn't know they were mistakes at the time - I thought I was doing the right thing, always. But I see now how terribly misguided I was. If only I'd had someone to make me see...

Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge: September

This is actually going to be a thing I'm so excited!!! Hey, remember the idea I wrote about yesterday in this post?  Well, a few people said they were interested so I've decided to make it into something official. Welcome to Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge! (I'll probably give it a snappier title later on...) The idea: at the start of every month, I come up with a theme, such as "music", "friendship", "pets", "summer". And whoever wants to participate has until the end of the month to write a short story on the theme I've chosen. Here are the rules! THE RULES: - Anyone can participate! - There aren't really any rules about what you can write, so long as it has something to do with the theme (that's the whole point of this challenge, after all). I only ask that you keep it clean (i.e. no bad swearing or any content that's unsuitable for kids, you get the idea). - You can write as much or as little ...

*jumps into view* HEY GUYS! So. It's been a while. I mean, not a huge while?? Just like... three weeks? Ok so that's a pretty big while. BUT. Hey, I'm here now,  aren't I!! I'm back!! Isn't this exciting!! Anyways, I do  have an excuse for having dropped off the blogging radar for some time, or rather, I have several excuses. These are:                           1. I have my first GCSE exams coming up in just over a week (A WEEK?!) so I've been reeeallly busy revising and finishing everything off and just basically stressing. (I mean, I'm not that stressed? But I do have LOADS I still have to revise before my exams.) Which means I have very little free time to come up with blog posts and even less time to actually WRITE the darn things. (No but seriously, how come blog posts can't just write themselves?? It would make everything so much easier.)               ...
