《Spoken Word Poetries》Toxic Love 2.0 (Edited Ver.)
Advertisement
I gave my everything but i guess my everything wasn't enough
You made me feel like trash, am i really that difficult to love?
I kept trying and trying, until it felt like it was too much
You made my love a weakness but i never gave up
I guess it was right love with the wrong person and it really sucked
I treat myself like trash, yet to you, i give so much
I told myself it was enough, that i already gave enough
I tried to convince myself that it wasn't love, for all i know it could be lust
It couldn't be love, because if it was, then why is it so messed up?
I was so blinded by my so-called love, i couldn't see how rotten your soul was
You went playing around, breaking my fragile heart
Said you didn't mean to and wanted a brand new start
Said you learned your lesson, hated the distance and couldn't stand to stay apart
I knew it was a bad kind of love but it was still love
So like a fool i gave you another chance, i guess i wasn't so smart
I knew it was toxic, i knew it wasn't right
But despite how bad things got, i couldn't help but try
I love you, i hate you, i'm slowly losing my mind
I tried to tell myself that it would be different this time
Maybe this time it would work, maybe i'd be right
You broke me into pieces, but i loved you even so
Wish i could say goodbye, be brave enough to let you go
What did i lack? Where did i go wrong?
Please tell me, so i won't be bothered no more
I love you still, i always will, but i can't stand this anymore
This thing we call love is a poison we all take by heart
The toxicity of this love is slowly tearing us apart
I was once blinded by this wicked art
But now, i'm gonna break this cage, i'm gonna end this war
But first, i will start by mending my broken heart

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!
