Ugh the spacing (?) changed after posting (as opposed to in draft/while typing T^T I dun wanna deal with it anymore, it doesn't look like a palm T^T I didn't dare to say it cause I'm super bothered by the 'amidst it all' which I think only works in one direction But if it works like so then I'm happy >w< also yay my thread is alive!

As many star in the sky with different shape of their own. I lift up my pen and drown deep on my thought. What story today could give me i wonder... @Pyoo A story of a little girl destined for more A story of an orphan boy taking up sword A story of kings, their fall and ruin Different worlds and different people @Land Of Tea Myrid worlds, myrid stories Some fade away, some shine brilliantly where there is light there will be darkness @Mindless-Genius A story of shipwrecked sailor living in a shore A story of a greedy king wanting more and more I am thinking stories for today Just like I did yesterday I think and think just to find my own true story And to create it as a masterpiece of it's own @Bielt My imagination fly freely As my pen dance over the white paper Words which becomes worlds Emotions which becomes life @Trent Suddenly, inspiration strikes! A new world starts coming to light, And as my thoughts fill up the page, Words make magic; am I a mage!? @Yurika Memories of our past how long 'twill last The feelings that we shared The lies that was bared I'm a creature from your imagination And I will never be a someone else imitation I'll surpass all of the limitation and never fear any intimidation @Zone Q11 I am there for everyone, big or small. I will always be loyal and answer your call. So everything will be fine, even if you hit a wall, For I will be there as I will never fall. @Mindless-Genius This poem is getting far from where it began It's good but it's not what I want It's ok, I know people are trying their best But I am still writing this line So people, get the true meaning @Osamaru We we'll end the day, around our friends then smile wide and drop our pens. but no matter how the story bends This isn't how the story ends @Fabulist Ed Words of life are uncertain by nature be it epic or be it bland from glorious start to lacklustre ends Journeys uncertain, is the alluring curtain For it is not satisfaction I so desire but the avoidance of life' dreary mire @hatoyin97 A stroke of pen, a beginning of a tale. In my wonder, mystical worlds dances to life. Unbounded by reality, caged in thoughts. A sentence, I shall realise my own reality. @Aster Anemone Some hard facts some wandering fantasies moving fingers on blank pages feeling faded canopies watching moving long dead sages @Mindless-Genius I am surprised by the number of paragraphs here It's more than good , it's fare I love to see that I am writing today Hoping to achieve what I didn't yesterday I hope this story goes on Till dusk to the dawn @Pyoo Everyday we make small stories on our own Like the stars in the sky, small but many Together creating shapes and constellations Today too, I lift up my pen and let my hands flow What story would the stars create today, I wonder~ @Zone Q11 Reserving too many stories, I get weaker by the day. Forgetting about the chronology and the categories, I fall down and stop the play. @BlancFrost Many people, many minds Many talents all combined To show the world They have no fear To put downs thoughts that slowly disappear Escaping out through the cracks Slipping through as there's no turning back Black and white is what they see Black and white is all they need Spoiler: The Poppy Fields (source) In the Flanders fields the poppies grow A marker for the nameless and unknown Don't forget us, don't forget us We were once loved, we were once brave We were once glorified as heroes of the land Don't forget us, don't forget us In the fields of sunset blooms Under the fields of thunderous booms Don't forget us, don't forget us A marker for the long forgotten The Flanders field where poppies grow - - - Spoiler: Notes Talks of red flowers and war always reminds me of poppies and flanders field.

It was a slowly dying flame, Who's warmth gently faded. It was the changing of a season, the passing of time and changing leaves. It was something we both saw coming, but were to numb to stop from bearing fruit. Now it whithers slowly Like your bouquet Petals falling gradually Like my tears Unhindered, unintentionally Like our hearts Crumbling quietly Because it still aches like a wound, freshly open when your eyes land on another, like they once gazed at me. and I watch you gently drift away, like dry and crumbling leaves scattered by the autumn wind.

Happy with only clucking Without lives of your own Nothing more than livestock Alive only to eat and die Beautiful only on the plate To fill others' bellies full Nothing left after but trash Spoiler: Secrets (source; the theme is [Evil Intentions] and [Secrets]) Don't break yourself Let go of the burdens The veil of fortitude Let me see your bare self The beautiful you as you are Without frivolous decorations Without the defensive shields Without the masks you don Take away the guise The ones for strangers Don't handle it alone Let me carry it along I'll embrace your imperfections I'll be your strength at your weak I'll be here to support you Let me in your world Soft, tender whispers Embracing warmly Stripping the layers One by one, slowly For what reason did you come For your curiosity or compassion For your overflowing good intention Or is it you who is actually masked Spoiler: Santa (source) Dear santa Have I been a bad boy? Why didn't you come? I only have one wish Dear Santa All I want is my papa Why is he not back? I promise to be good Dear Santa Please - - - I wanted to show a plea at nothing by a little boy who lost both his dad and his santa Spoiler: Saviour (source) I love you, I truly do I'm sorry, my dear Only you can save us She was never seen again A girl so young and innocent beautiful with her bright smiles Full of spirit in this time of hardship Sent off only to be broken In the time of hunger Where the worst will come The lesser of two evils Is still a light in the road Even if the light is dim Dark and bloody Spoiler: Hunger (source) Scavenging everywhere for scraps Only to find other diggers For even the tiniest bits Are like golden rares Treasures beyond precious Only existing as a fantasy Surrounded by fellow hunters But no one is a companion Driven mad by hunger Gone senile by fright This is a fight they'll fight Even just for one measly bite When you lose your food You start losing more things Even your sense of self Stripped of other necessities Your sole drive is survival Even at the cost of your soul - - - Uninvited yet it lingers, rejected yet it stays We never welcomed it with open arms Now we can only open our hands Desperately begging for even crumbs Tightly cupping for even rainfall Shaky hands wet with precisious water To help quench the gripping hunger Spoiler: Same (source) It's the same road Though different building Conflicting visions Scenes of long gone It's the same corner Yet a different feeling Fading memories Pangs of nostalgia It's not the same place Filled with different people But the same laughter and joy Surrounding my melancholy - - - Distant and long gone Treasured nonetheless Each instant, each second Still close to my heart Spoiler: A Tiger's Dream (source) We only want to play Running across the field Against the swaying grass As the wind brush past It's a simple little dream To be just like any children Running together unhindered Roaring laughter unworried But like an irrefutable promise Like a child seeking playmates Ending our simple pleasure Adults with roaring laughter As hell greets reality As life and death confound We continue to run Running from slaughter We dream simply Yet the war never ends The attacks never die Only my friends one by one In their peaceful slumber I hope they now live a dream Our lifelong unrealized wish To laugh without fear
