Autumn's Gone 'Autumn leaves disintergrate into dust, the first taste of snowfall upon our lips, Crackling leaves frozen in ice, autumn is lost in the crunch of winter, Scented candles glow on a winters night, a gentle hymn bringing warmth, Huddling churchgoers brave the cold, murmering lips like puppets under siege, Blue thumbs clawing at thermal gloves, spiced hot chocolate waiting in the wings, Salted tears of joy clinging to hope, the scent of forgiveness wallowing in redemption' Founder Stephanie Bailee founded 'Stephanie's closet' in 2015 with the aspirations of targeting modern women attuned to the international appeal of high-end fashion without the designer ... read more

Drowning In The Wild
Drowning In The Wild 'Tiptoing through the darkness, the scent of fear attatched to every footstep,The crunch of freshly cut grass is awakening, the soft bubble of water rivluts trickling, Gliding through spring and summer, echoes are lost in the shadows of time, Lilting whispers like an ancient lullaby, frozen in the moment-you fall, Fresh water lake guzzling at the flesh of the young, sustained by sacrificed youth,I'm drowning in the wild, the scythe of death has come' Chapter Two Bullying I was drowning in the wilderness left to suffocate under the weight of life.

Unable to turn to anyone with my troubles the only ... read more
