About author_girl_serena

Avatar of author_girl_serena I love to write. I write about anything that pops into my mind that I believe will make a great story, poem, etc. I am a HUGE supporter of all the arts. I hope to one day be published but for me, writing is more of a hobby than a profession. I'm not into the glitz and glamor of being famous. To be published would be the ultimate, but I have a terrible problem with comparing my writing with the greats. So, I don't think it's good enough. I joined this website to put my feet in the water seeing as I never let anyone read anything I write. So far this website has definitely helped to boost those thoughts through comments on some of my pieces and has even encouraged me to post more.

Hidden Chapter 1

February 13, 2005
“God, he’s the best. he’s so sweet. Today, for my birthday, he got me complete Edgar Allan Poe set and a puppy! My mom won’t let me keep him here so Adam is keeping him over his house. I named him Poe. He’s such a cute little puppy. A purebred Australian Husky. He’s going to grow up to be a beautiful dog. Well, I got to go. I can’t wait until tomorrow. It’s Valentine’s Day. I hope Adam likes his new camera.” Continue reading →

Hidden Prologue

OK so I know I do a lot of poetry but this is something a little different. I will do my best to post the next chapter every day but no promises. This is the prologue to a story I’ve been working on.

“Come on, Vanessa, he’s your best friend, just talk to him,” Jenny said grabbing my arm.

“No, you’re my best friend and besides he’s with his girlfriend,” I stated matter-of-factly,  pulling my arm back.

“Girlfriend or no girlfriend, Mitchel still has feelings for you and you definitely need to tell him how you feel.” She started pulling me towards the spot where Mitchel was standing with the girl he proclaimed to love. I pulled back. I couldn’t even look his way. I was too scared to talk to him. Kevin walked out of the side door of the school. Thanking God, I wiggled away from Jenny and ran in his direction.

“Kevin, you are such a lifesaver.” I hugged him and started to head towards home.

“Oh, no you don’t,” Jenny said catching my arm. “Now, Kevin, help me out here. Don’t you agree that Vanessa should tell Mitchel that she still likes him?”

“Yup.” Kevin grabbed my other arm and they both pulled me over to Mitchel and Ashley.

“Hey, Mitchel, can we talk to you real quick?” Kevin asked. Mitchel nodded, kissed Ashley and walked over. He looked puzzled as he looked at the scene before him. Kevin and Jenny were holding me as I desperately tried to free myself from their steady grips.

“What’s up?” Mitchel asked concerned about what was happening to his best friend. I had known Mitchel almost all my life but I couldn’t bring myself to speak to him now. I did my best to avoid the deep emeralds that rested themselves in the sockets where his eyes should be. I was still struggling to release myself from Kevin and Jenny but with little success.

“Vanessa?” Mitchel’s confusion danced across his face toying with amusement. I started to pull away harder as the tears began to form and spill over my lashes.

“Please just let me go, this isn’t funny anymore,” I said, trembling from the effort.

“Are you ok?” Mitchel said, reaching out to wipe the tears that had started to run down the side of my face. I nodded and finally succeeded in pulling away from Kevin and Jenny and ran.

I left Mitchell standing there confused and hurt at my shying away and not telling him everything. I finally had to stop about a hundred feet away from where I had left them. I was safely tucked around the side of the building when I finally let the rest of my emotions take hold of me. I fell to the ground crying and holding the necklace Mitchel didn’t know I still wore. He gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago and I had never taken it off. The small dolphin gave me comfort even on the worst of days. The same way he used to. I heard footsteps stop behind me as I finished the last of my tears and stood to leave.

“Look, Kevin, the fact is he loves Ashley, not me. It doesn’t matter whether or not he knows how I feel about him. It’s over. Just let it drop. I can’t do this anymore.” I turned to face Mitchel. He was clearly taken aback by what I had just uttered to who I thought was Kevin.

“V-Vanessa?” he stuttered out taking a few steps towards me. Tears were now streaming down my face again in a fresh river. He closed the small distance between us in an easy stride and gathered me into his arms.

“Vanessa, I had no idea,” He said, planting kisses in my damp hair. He sounded so hurt and so shocked that I pulled away to tell him not to worry about me, but before I could speak, he kissed me.

ok I know its really rough but please let me know what you think!

Night

Night is an unsolved mystery
Dangers lurking around every corner
Clues around every corner
Searching for answers
Never knowing what to look for
When will it strike out again
Fear instills in every heart
Waiting for daylight
Daylight is the answer
Night brings out the worst
Never knowing what you’ll find
Help me daylight
Where are you
Daggers surround me
Who holds them
Fingerprints cannot be seen
Looking for answers
Ever around the corner
Lost
In the mystery of night

Away

Across a desk
Across a classroom
Across the hall
Across the country
It’s all the same distance
Whether I see you from two inches away
Or from two thousand miles away
No matter what the length
There’s no talking to you
Is it because I’m shy?
I’m not normally
You make me that way
Is it because I’m nervous?
I just don’t know myself when I’m around you
You change me
You don’t even know it
You don’t even I exist
Is this what it means to truly be in love with someone?
I hope so
It’s the only explanation for it

Broken

I’m sorry I’m broken
I’m sorry I’m in pieces
I hate that I can’t do what you want
I hate that I remember my past
It pains me to think about the fact that you might think I’m broken
It pains me to imagine you leaving because of my fears
I hurt when I think of the tears I shed on your shoulder
I hurt when I think of how a girl should be the one she loves
After all you’ve done, I’m still afraid to go there
After all you’ve done, I’m still broken
It hurts me to be this broken
It hurts me to be this pained
I know you care and love me
I know you’re there for me
But I’m in too many pieces
I find it hard to believe that someone like you
Could ever love someone as broken as me
With as much baggage as I carry
I can’t help but to think how amazing you are
To still care about someone
As broken as me
