Why?

Father of murdered teenage girl, Becky Watts: 

"I do not have the vocabulary to express what I want to say, except it is like falling off a cliff into a bottomless chasm of despair."



I AM INCLINED TO COMMENT ON THE TRAGEDY OF THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL AND HOW LENIENT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS ON CASES LIKE THIS. HOW IS IT THAT SOMEONE CAPABLE OF ASSISTING A MUTILATION OF A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL WILL ONLY SPEND 17 YEARS IN BEHIND BARS? I AM FORCED AT THIS POINT TO AGREE WITH THE FATHER OF THIS YOUNG GIRL AND SIMPLY BE CLUELESS AS WHAT IT IS THAT I CAN SAY TO EXPRESS THE EMOTIONS THAT  IS OVERPOWERING ME.

The accuracy of this is quite shocking. 

John Webster

"I account this world a tedious theatre. For I do play a part in't 'gainst my will"

"Why are you not interested in academically challenging subjects?"

HER

Sit with her,

And tell her all
for a great listener she is.

Tell her about your past mistakes,

For your words will never be considered a mistake.

Make memories with her,

Let your emotions run wild all over her,

Caress her with your words,

Seduce her with your foul thoughts,

Let her suck up your scribbles,

                Intimacy is the key here.

Tell her - about the ones who hurt you,

The people that betrayed you,

DON'T. YOU. DARE. FORGET.

             She will always stay by your side.

Occupy her,

With the thoughts, you thought that you would never have told a soul,

She will never leave you.

Tell her - all your fears and the things which keep you up at 2 am,

But tell her too,

About all that makes you happy,

Your dreams,

Your aspirations.

Pick her up,

And let her help you in times of need,

she will let you empty your mind,

On your best and worst days,

She will help you soothe your sorrow filled soul.

I promise,

Just take her with you,

Anywhere,

Everywhere,

Let her take you on a journey,

A journey full of deep thought and meaning,

She will NEVER deny you.

When nothing but the moon glistens in the sky,

And you stir on your bed for the one hundredth time,

And your heart aches,

Whilst your brain struggles to swim,

                     In a 6ft pool,

A, B, C, D.

Call to her,

Pick her up,

Your emotions will eat you alive,

E, F, G, H.

Bring her to your world,

Be the alien in her planet,

I, J, K, L.

She will always listen.

Writing is deep 

I think that more young people should be encouraged to write - for there is nothing more powerful than words.

This piece is about writing. The pen and paper are both personified here as a human being. Bare this in mind, you do not always have to talk about the personal aspects of your life to another person. Grab a pen and paper, write it out. Angry? Use capital letters all throughout your writing. Happy? Show it with a dozen exclamation marks. Your thoughts and feelings are not for the entire world to know or see (unless your Adele). 

It is to you, from you. 

You do not need to have perfect sentence structure, heck it does not even have to make sense. It is yours, so own it!

You know, in all the schools that I have attended, students have always been encouraged to talk about any of their problems to a member of staff.Whilst there is nothing wrong with this, i have never encountered anyone tell me, or my peers to write about things which are bothering us in life.

Not only does writing help free your mind, but writing is an art . It is an expression.

How many poets and authors use the personal aspects of their lives as a basis of factor to construct such inspirational, moving pieces of writing? (pretty much all of them by the way)

Embark a journey with your pen and paper, and remember this: 

Something good can always be created out of a bad situation.
