My Next Chapter by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

My Next Chapter

I looked up at the night sky and sighed. There were too many lights on around this neighborhood to really see any. Light pollution, I thought with no small amount of dislike, was a mood killer. I liked to stare at stars, but if you could only see a few… Oh well. I sighed again. That wasn’t what was really on my mind, though. Next month, in only a few weeks’ time, I was going to be moving to a new city, one even further away from my parents than where I currently lived. Of course, I wasn’t moving alone – I was moving in with my brother. He found a house and bought it and offered me a place so that I could save mon

Anywhere, Anytime by Makona-Duke, literature

Anywhere, Anytime

I needed the contact of another human being. I needed a hug. I wanted to be held. I felt down and heavy with a throbbing headache that reached my eyes. All I wanted was to go back to my apartment, close the blinds, and roll myself into my blankets and just be there for a while. But I could do none of that – I didn’t have the time. Not even enough time to ease the headache that was nearing on to a full blown migraine. I dropped my father off back at home having just gone to my Grandmother’s for our weekly trip. Sundays we went over to have breakfast with her, one of the days out of the week that I really enjoyed myself. But

Things Get Better

Exhaustion hit me like a freight train after the party that never happened. I’d invited a handful of people to my Taco Tuesday… and no one showed. So the huge amount of left overs was tucked away in containers and into the fridge and the dishes used whilst cooking… I couldn’t be bothered by them. I left them exactly where they had been left – here, there, all around the counters and in the sink – and I carefully treaded to my room. It was barely past seven-thirty p.m, but I couldn’t take it any longer. I was upset with myself for hoping too much for a nice get together with people I wanted to talk to,

Just Tonight by Makona-Duke, literature

Just Tonight

For the night, my character was alive and whole. I was feeling unbearably lonely and I needed someone to hug me. So when he shimmered into existence, I felt myself tear up. His eyes were kind, his smile warm. He held his arms out for me with a knowing look. I let out a little sob both out of relief and desperation, then I tossed my notebook onto the coffee table, carefully got up from my recliner, and walked to him, terrified that he would disappear if I were to move too suddenly. But he didn’t. I walked up to where he sat on the sofa and I gave him a ‘are you sure’ sort of look. He raised a brow in slight exasperation and

Thank You by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

Thank You

I'm in my favorite jammies with my oh so huge shirt and comfy lounging pants, my hair in a messy bun thing, and my favorite mug full of steaming coffee in my hands. I'm sitting on my couch that doesn't want to let me go, watching a beautiful movie on my laptop, and enjoying the setting sun streaming through my window. There isn't a day that goes by that I want anything more than this, This feeling of peace, this feeling of fullfillment. I've got everything fate has decided I needed and I'm grateful; I've my own place, my precious two kitties, and, most importantly.. I've still the mornings where I wake up every day. I'm alive, I'

Big Dream by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

Big Dream

I can't help but think That the man who says He's but a small heart, That he's the biggest I've ever seen. His heart tears at the seams, Pushes past the tissue and bone, And is just too massive for his own chest. Why he feels so down trodden When he sees pain reflected on other faces, Is because his heart is so big, It carries so much hope, Cares too deeply for people, For strangers he doesn't know. So modest is this man, He sees too little of himself. Too little I would say, Too blind to see he's so burdened With his too big heart. If only every man Had such a heart Our world would be Just a little nicer.

In Need of Life by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

In Need of Life

Can't say much, For I don't know much, Cuz I haven't seen or done much. No say have I If no clue have I Of the unseen world... Haven't I? Too much to know, Too much to see, Too little time I have. But I have. The world I have Is the family I know For they have taught me much. Maybe not very experienced am I Or as knowledgeable am I, But learning is a possibility for I.

Grow Up by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

Grow Up

What is life? Is it working at a crappy place, With crappy pay, Not enough hours, No benifits? Is it being stuck in one place, With no way out, Not a car to call your own, No license? Is it about being completely dependent, With everyone around you, Your mommy and daddy, Your younger siblings... What is life to you? Is it crying to daddy when you don't get what you want, Complaining about the 'inconvenience' of things, Things that are completely normal to get done, or Debating on things you don't even know in detail about? What is life... I thought it was about making it your own, Busting your ass to get where yo

Let's Compromise by Makona-Duke, literature

Literature

Let's Compromise

You see the where, You see the when. I see the here, I see the now. When do you think you'll see that I'm right here beside you? When do you think I'll see how bright our future will be together? I want you to think of us now, You want me to think of us years from here. So let's compromise, my love. Let's think of us, Only us. Let's just wing it, This thing we call love. It's okay, There's no right or wrong. Not when it comes to our love. So let's compromise.

My Bio

I'm a sideways kinda person! :]

Find me on Skype!! :D!! jen.duke4

I liiike, loooove, adooooore yaoi; writing it, reading it, but maybe not watching it - I feel embarrassed because, well...... The sex noises. omg the sex noises are so awkward and embarrassing. xD!!

I like to read and cook, and - - S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G. Good lord I love to shop. I've just recently been kicked out of my tomboy phase (though I still refuse to wear makeup) and I've been spending so much money on shoes and clothes and - soon - I'll be buying me some lolita dresses. *^*!! MWA HAHAHAHAHAH

I'm pretty open-minded and, hopefully, I'm easy to get along with. I'm lazy, I love to procrastinate, and a lot of time there's gotta be an incentive for me to do shit. (And I curse a lot, oops hehe X3)

I've been having a bad few days... The day before last,  my truck wouldn't start.. So we had a towing service move my truck to my parents house so my brother and neighbor could work on it.. That night, afetr I got off, my dad and mom came to pick me up. Well,  I hadn't even reached their car yet when I realized my dad was trying to start it... But.. it was dead. I had to call my other brother to come jump us. Their battery was no good, so we had to buy a new one... Well, Paul and Markie got my truck to start. But when Paul was trying to leave, Markie came up to us and.. his car wasn't starting. Mom said I was cursed. Jordan, guy I'm currently

Annoying people are annoying. Yes, my truck is in the drive way. Yes, it is dead. No, you can not park behind it. Yes, it will be worked on. Yes, there is other freaking spaces on the street you can park. No, my truck is NOT going to be there forever, so NO you cannot in turn squeal at me like a little pig just because I'm in your damn spot. My TRUCK is NOT going to be there FOREVER and NO longer than a few days MAX. Yes, you can shut the hell up now. -.- My older sister is an annoying creature.

I'm such a weirdo when it comes to commissions.. Like... Artists are always saying their commissions are open and I hop on it... But.. like.. I don't know how to say what I want? How do you say something nicely without sounding demanding and/or needy or some shit like that? Like... HOW DO I TALK TO AN ARTIST?! ARRRRGGHHHHHHHH I FEEL SO WEIRD ABOUT IT. UGH

Hi there,

This is urgent. FCC Chair – and former Verizon lawyer – Ajit Pai declared war on the Internet as we know it with his plan to kill net neutrality rules.

I just submitted a comment to the FCC to protect a free and open Internet by REJECTING Pai's plan to kill net neutrality.

Could you add your name, too? act.demandprogress.org/go/1342…
