A Cry For Help

Little girl hiding in a dark closet waiting to come out, however she is afraid of her dunk father might slip in her bed tonight. Jane is 13 years old with fair skin and light smooth long hair. Jane is so beautiful with big bright green eyes. Jane loves to write as she tries to escape from reality. Jane was no ordinary child. She was brilliant and continually attempting to figure out how to be happy.

Jane was not your typical teenage girl. She didn't stress over young men or having companions. Jane wanted to get out from this cloudy world she was living in. Jane was in the closet of her bedroom. Jane was covering up in the middle of her hanged garments as she made a decent attempt not to make any sudden move. Jane clutched her bear and implored, “God please not tonight I cannot take this pain much longer.”God where are you when I need you? Why are you allowing this to happen to me? She thought to herself.Jane heard footsteps that, sounded like a loud thunder coming up the stairs. She was shaking with fear.Her father burst into the room laughing he said, “Jane I know you are in here. Come out, come out wherever you are.” Jane was shaking and held on to her bear tighter to restrain herself from crying. Jane whispered softly and said “God please do not let him find me.”

Jane heart was racing like the beat of a drum. She is holding on to her bear and beside her was a knife. Jane was tired of being sexually abused by her father. Jane is 13 years old an honor roll student who was always trying to find happiness in the little things, but always felt alone in this cold world. Jane wanted to kill herself.She does not fill she has a purpose in life.

She stated, God "pardon me for I have a sin to permit. Let the wages of my dad sins turn into his own demise. The torment she felt inside she longer needed to feel any longer. She was caught in her own skin. She couldn't bear another touch of her dad's messy dunk hands. Jane is 13 years old and she no longer felt anymore pain. Jane at long last discovered peace in such a dull world. Jane murdered her father.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
