True Writers Article: The Flame of Memory

posted by hgfan5602

I will remember you always.
Will you remember me?
That is a question for you to answer,
And not me.

I promise
That I will always
Keep the flame of memory alive.
The fun that we had will never
Be forgotten.

Even on foggy evenings,
The darkest of nights,
You will always be in my heart.
For I know that you will help me
Keep the flame of memory blazing
Always.

All the good times that we had,
All the fun that we had,
All the tears that we let out,
All the anger we let out
Will never be wasted.
Because every minute of it
Is in my heart.

I will tend to the fire
Every night,
Recollecting all the memories we have
Knowing that the flame of memory
Is the brightest flame of all
And it will blaze on.

CHAPTER 3

I woke up to an extremely bright sun in my face and hot sand in my hair. I must not have been in the sun for long because I hadn't burnt yet. I could hear the sound of human laughter but it felt like it was coming from the inside of my head, all I could smell was smoke from a camp fire. I rolled over and pushed myself up off the sand and I looked around, still trying to figure out what happened. All I remembered was the egg, the flash of colour, and feeling I was falling from...

    “I already told you! I don’t remember!” Stilere yelled. “All I remember is having this headache and something and then when I was walking this weird feeling and then I opened my eyes…but I know something happened, I just can’t remember!”
    Zaria opened her mouth to say something else but I cut her off. “If she doesn’t remember, she doesn’t remember. Were just gonna have to…jog her memory back, yeah, that’s it.”

Gemini woke from his sleep, his wand in his hand with an old brown tendril half out of it as though he had been fighting someone. He slowly said under his breath," samantanes," his voice rough and gravely from a thousand years of unconscious, after a second of waiting a huge water hand shot from his body clearing his way backup to the surface. He grabbed the wand and jumped up onto the surface as 18 of his ( former) captors came towards him tendrils flying everywhere. He could see the fiery robes of his worst enemy Virgo at the front, but as they ran forward Gemini saw the flabby...

My Dreams Are Heard (rock song)

posted by hgfan5602

Sometimes I have this feeling
Right here deep in my heart
A feeling that is steady, pounding against my soul
A feeling that I write but can't complete

Oh, I want my dreams and hopes to be heard
I can't hide my feelings any longer
No one's gonna stop me from doing what I want
They will not be pushed aside

Now I'm done believing what you told me about
I have no trust or faith in you anymore
And it's time for me to follow my dreams
To stand tall and scream out my lungs

Listen to me and the story I will tell.....
I was just sitting by the bedside
Staring at the world outside of my home
And it changed my life,...

They all rushed to the hospital. "Kyle." they gasped. Kyle, with his blonde hair, scratches, bruises and broken bones lyed under the white, soft, hospital blanket. The only sound that could be heard was the soft, quite sound of the heart monitor beeping. They all went and sat next to his hospital bed. They all tried to hold back the tears. Summer gave in and tears streamed down her cheeks and on to the floor. Tiffany, Angus and Mariah burst into tears as well. James didnt, he didnt like to show emotion, no matter how sad he was. Even though he wasn't crying on the outside, they knew there were...

Both were silent for a long while, the minutes dragged by and Bobby swore he could see the entire scene playing across Husky's eyes, the same thing over and over again. A not so subtle cough brought him back to the living world, and he continued with his tale. "I woke up a couple days later, both Matt and Ethan were okay and alive, and I was damn lucky. In my act of bravery," he spat the word with such disdain and Bobby couldn't understand why. He thrown himself on an explosive device to save his men, if that wasn't bravery then what the hell was? "I managed to not even cover the IED, rather...

His mother set about straightening up the room, as he drifted into the bathroom, stripping down and climbing into the shower.
He turn the knobs, a feeling of instant security filling him as the water crashed down on his face. Something about a nice shower just made him feel safe. He hissed a bit as the scalding water poured ever him and into his open wounds, he thought he could hear his skin sizzle when the water pounded down onto the gash in his forehead. He could feel the dirt fall away, the scent of death all falling away and circling the drain below. It took him awhile to realize the water...

Water looked confused as the old man said all this,"w-what do you mean wizard?" Walter said his mind full of questions for the old man. The old man answered quickly, his voice seemingly getting older as he went on," you are wearing the clothes of a wizard and you have a wand in your belt so that means your a wizard." The hard,heavy breathing coming from the old man got louder as Walter answered," but i'm not a wizard, sir," the man cackled and coughed. " Come through here boy and sit down, I can't stand for much longer," he said and started to lead the way out of the room, which Walter...

Not Under Tyranny (rock song)

posted by hgfan5602

I will not be under your tyranny
Your cruel and oppressive force
Yes, maybe you should be my leader
But that doesn't mean I should follow you all the time

Do you know he's got you bound
Under ropes and chains of cruelty
Well, I don't wanna be a follower
If it means I have to be a killer

No, I'm not exactly kind-hearted
But that doesn't mean I have to kill, kill, kill
I don't wanna be just a senseless follower
I have a heart, I have a soul, so I don't follow you

I don't just wanna be a follower
So I don't give a fuck bout what you do, do, do
But I myself will not give in to the tyranny
So you'll watch me leave

No one's gonna stop me
Look, I'm walking out the doors of tyranny
And I'm not gonna be a senseless follower
Ever again in my life.

I Have Asperger's. So What? (Essay/Memoir)

posted by dragonsmemory

Only a few months ago, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's is one of many conditions that falls on the autism spectrum. Unlike truly autistic people, many Aspergians are excellent communicators…at least, if that's what your "gift" is. You see, every Aspergian has a particular area where they excel. One could be a science genius, while another, such as myself, might be a brilliant writer.

Many Aspegians are either misdiagnosed or never diagnosed at all. Our symptoms, are difficult to identify. Once, my mom went to the Child Study Team at my elementary school. She brought up...
