《Slam Poetry》The Future
Advertisement
I fear the future.
I have for years.
Ever since I made that first slice in my skin.
Wait, that's not where i should begin.
Let's try this over.
I fear the future.
It's as simple as that.
I'm afraid of who i might marry.
And what comes after that.
I'm afraid my children will see the scars of my past.
The destruction...
That I caused.
Because it shouldn't have been an option for me.
And definitely not for them.
Not for them...
Not for anyone...
I'm afraid of what i cannot control.
I'm afraid to have a daughter
My little baby girl.
Because of the way women are treated in our society today.
Make me afraid.
I dont want to loose my daughter to the socially constructed views on beauty.
That tell her,
Skinny = Beautiful.
Makeup = Beautiful.
Because every girl is beautiful.
My daughter will be beautiful.
And beauty is never just skin deep.
Fear clouds my mind...
It leaves all of these anxiety inducing questions in my head.
They won't leave me alone!
Will i be a good mom?
Will my children love me?
Will I be a hard worker?
Will I do what I love?
Will i be a good mom?
Will my children love me?
Will I be a hard worker?
Will I do what I love?
Will i be a good mom?
Will my children love me?
Will I be a hard worker?
Will I do what I love?
A brave man once said,
"You'll fear your fears forever,
If you never do what your afraid of."
So why am I so afraid?
Maybe it's because I'm a coward.
I've tried to leave this world so many times.
But somethings kept me stuck on this suspended rock.
Living out the rest of my days afraid.

But life moves on...
I'm always constantly closer to the future i so fear.
Maybe all of these are constant fears.
Maybe I'll constantly be afraid of what I cannot control.
Afraid of who will love me.
Of how my daughter will be treated.
What society will teach her.
Afraid of how my kids will treat my scars.
Afraid of them ever feeling how I did.
How i do.
But for now...
The world keeps spinning.
And me with it.
So I'll "Keep moving forward."
I'll "Just keep swimming."
And live the life im so afraid of living.

Isoptera
Reincarnated, Crete finds himself not in some overpowered human body with the basic kill the demon lord cliche. No, he is reincarnated as a weak, powerless, and quite frankly worthless existence. Maybe his was a mistake, as he wasn't even reincarnated as a human but instead a humble and meek existence, A termite. Follow Crete as he adventures, without the memories of his previous life intact, in this New World, Honera. He trudges on endlessly with his indomitable willpower and journeys as a meek termite who is fraught with trials and tribulations; as he seeks for the power to just live in peace and without the prejudice everyone seems to have against his kind. Upload Schedule: M-W-F Hey guys this is my first attempt at a novel, based on the type of fiction I enjoy, it'll be mostly slow-paced at the start as I try to work out the kinks and learn more about "Isopterans". However, if y'all enjoy it leave a few nice reviews, or if you don't, leave some constructive criticism. Both would be appreciated. I also would be setting up a Patreon if any are interested in donating to help fund the story or you can send a donation through PayPal directly. I want to create something that we as RRoaders can enjoy together. You can also access the Discord here [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 241Demon Heart
It almost feels like Mira is cursed. Her life is going from bad to worse, and just when it feels like she’s bottomed out, she gets kidnapped by a demon named Jorath and taken to another world. She quickly learns that worse is a relative term, and that her life’s trajectory is on a steep decline. Now all she wants is to find a way back to Earth, to her normal boring life in a too-small apartment with a crappy retail job. Jorath has other ideas. He’s tired of being a slave, and he thinks Mira might just be the key to his freedom. He’ll return her home for a price. All she has to do is somehow survive long enough to confront the King of Demons and carve out his heart. Updates Mondays and Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. eastern time.
8 107Absolute Power of the Imagination
(Hello this is a story that I'm making and is basically just my fantasy of what it would be like to be a human with god-like powers and the MC is going to have my personality so you are reading some of my desires.) Everyone has at least once thought what it would it would be like to be GOD but only so many people have actually thought about it deeply and this story is going to be through my thoughts as what it would be like to be a god-like being that was once human (because it would be no fun to read or write what it would be like to be GOD since there are no obstacles as the definition of GOD.) (I'm writing this because my new favorite novel "Michael Ammers: My OP leisure life" has been dropped or is on a really long hiatus.
8 95The Wind’s Bestowed
A butcher, a village beauty, a coroner, and a wanderer walk into a tavern… In the world there are six elements. Five are seen and shattered. One is hidden and whole. It is said that the Kingdom of Ashmore holds that hidden element in its vast lands. In order to obtain it, a man plunged the Kingdom into chaos, starting many quests to end his reign. From a quiet village, four individuals took on the call to fill a quota. [Updates weekly. Every Friday.]

Sometimes I wonder why the world isn't decorated with something as cool as magic... Why can't we manipulate the laws of the world? Why does the story about God sound too fake to be believed? Why the hope for this world to be saved from the bottom of everyone's heart can never be fulfilled... Then I landed on each conclusion from each of those questions... That humans are the most cunning, meanest and stupidest creatures who are most desperately expected to not have any power including magic itself. That it is not God that we should believe in, because they themselves do not believe in how disgusting human nature really is. That everyone's hope is not for the world to be saved, but for the world to be destroyed in order to save their own selves. That the world from the beginning, was not meant to be saved... (I frequently revise and update the use of sentences in the previous chapters without disturbing the original storyline. so sometimes it takes me a little longer to publish a new chapter.) I have the same novel posted on another website (Webnovel.com , creativenovels.com) with the same name (RELINQUISH)
