Introduction
If you want to be an author, this is the website to check out! For all you people out there who enjoy writing and have an ambition to become an author, I sincerely continue to write because if there is something you love to do you should really try to make time for it as often as you possibly can. I am Melissa. I am thirteen years old. I plan to write several books in my lifetime. I really, really hope that someday my books and your books (if you have written any or are in the process of writing them now) will get published. Remember, you should always stick with what you enjoy doing no matter what people say, the chances of you getting published, or the mean things that people say to bring you down and cause you to think that you are not good enough. Unfortunately, people will always try to bring you down about becoming an author and your writing skill level and there is nothing we can do about that. What I think is going on is that they are envious of you, want to look "cool" in front of their friends, or they just purely enjoy trying to bring down someone who is extraordinarily good at something's self-confidence down. I think it is truly terrible that people do that people have to do that just to satisfy themselves, but you should not let people's negativity bring down from doing what you love which is probably since you came here: writing. Please, continue to write no matter what others say to you because it is so much fun to write and sometimes, relaxing. Writing can be a way to let your feelings out which is a very good thing. I sometimes vent my feelings through writing and it really makes me feel good and pleased inside to have let it out and I do not even have to be embarrassed about it because you cannot even tell that I was venting through it because it was happening to characters. So, it is an extremely good way to vent feelings. A few books that I will be working on within the next (hopefully) seven or eight years are Abused, Scarred, Misunderstood, and Don't Stand Out. But enough about me, I really hope this website inspires you to start writing books, poetry, articles, short stories, or something because it is a really enjoyable thing, writing. No matter how old you are you should always try your absolute best to pursue your dreams especially if it includes writing! LAUGH OUT LOUD!
This better be a confidence booster for you because if it is not, I will get angry and kick you. PSYCH! I will not kick you but, I will still be angry at you and you know what that means. It means I will be writing! DUH!

And now some delightful poems that I hope will make you smile...
The Road Not Taken
By: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And he looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And in both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Touched by an Angel
By Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
in the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
and suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
Still I Rise
By Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
with your bitter, twisted lies,
you may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
with the certainty of tides,
just like hopes springing high,
still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise
A now a moment of silence for people who deserve to rest in peace...
