Have You "Freed Your Inner Book" Yet?
Yes
What You Need to Know About Me:
Serious about my poems, essays and short stories! Quiet, laid back. Love a football. Crazy about basketball. Can't tell a joke to save my life but I don't mind laughing at one. Getting closer to God is my main goal. Raising my children to be responsible and wise adults is the key to my life. My art is what keeps me going when times get rough.

Today I Cried

the last time was
so long ago
i cant remember Y


i thought it was impossible
that my tear ducts

at 15
my mother was the victim of rape
accosted by my father
further trodden upon
by her beautiful ebony complexion
and neglect


i cried because
i was taught never to question my elders
but it was my elders questions
that lead me to suffer my mothers fate

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
