Letter of resignation

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry for being inactive. I've been so busy, so stressed. So much so that I believe it may not even be worth continuing my journey on this app. However, I do have a project running at the moment for a new social media app (not a plug) but if you want to check it out you can take a look here: http://philosophicalpsych.altervista.org/SSM-Project.php So, sorry to anyone I may disappoint (though I doing I wasn't forgotten). Goodbye to you all, and thank you for your support! ~ M. J. Parker

Motivation —

This isn't some Tumblr post or outcry. Just a mere connection between me and my readers. It is exam time for me, or exam prep and I have been flooded with study and countless calculus connundrums, but I cannot seem to find the motivation to complete these tasks; anything seemingly mundane becomes a chore. Is anyone else struggling with motivation too?  Motivation is critical to my writing, I have one piece which I believe is almost ready to be shared.... But I'm afraid to do so until I have motivation to write more.... ~ M. J. Parker

Echoing Silence —

I'm back with a new piece. This piece represents a new step in my writing, I have experimented with new structure, tense and removed intentional rhyming. The poem is a story, following two strangers... One which took me a long time to prepare and develop, to experiment and create. This is because the meaning of this poem is something to which I hold dear... I hope you enjoy. Two strangers stand, locking eyes on the street. Not a sound is made. While phone numbers exchange.   A park bench, a couple and five ducks. Flocking to bread which flies in the calm, with hands held softly, against the bench. Still air shivering chills down spines.   Wrapped in each other’s arms, a man...

Silent Nights —

A love poem shall we say? Two forbidden lovers? Their love unaccepted by friends, family, society? Their love being the only thing that holds them together? That keeps them happy? What do you think...? I miss those silent nights, under midnight lights. The love seeping through our veins. I miss the cold night air, through the feel of your hair and the kisses as we stood in the rain. Despite the screeching of cars, we were safe, beneath the stars. Often forgetting our pain. Your smile was a charm, as you lay in my arms. Those nights, a sleeping pill for your brain. We were safer, we thought, so we ought to get caught. That's when the punishment came. Yes...

[SENSITIVE]: The Garden —

[SENSITIVE]: The Garden —

Again, the promise of this poem is rather dark. If this poem affects you in any way, make sure to talk with someone you trust. The message of this poem is not as dark as it may seem. The overall message is a warning, about a misleading act, I will explain below. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ His child in distress, was leaving him without rest. Until she found comfort, in a rest of her own. Like her own secret garden. Hidden somewhere. Not even a letter, to say she was there. It was all so perfect, till the roses drew blood. Against the thorns she bled. Staining...

[DISCUSSION]: Opinion, Passion

I want to actively communicate with everyone on this platform, especially seeing right now we are such a small community. Let's grow together. So tell me about yourself, this is an open space. Though... please be mindful of others, lets create understanding, disagreeing is okay, but lets be productive. Let's learn from each other. A few questions from me: 1. What brought you to Hinterland? 2. What is your passion? 3. What do you plan to post on Hinterland? 4. Where were you born? Raised? 5. Tell me your favourite quote, or inspirational figure. I'll try my best to interact with everyone here and get to know a bit about you. Bring on the positivity 😊 ~ M. J. Parker

Together —

Gone through a heart break before? Lost a friend? Family? Had a fight with someone? Always make amends, always apologise. Or this poem may apply to you. Together. Together we must love and respect one and another... We were perfect you and I. For whilst our heads were in the sky. By friends we were surrounded. Every day, they were keeping us grounded. We began to dream, Of our future scene. Living life together. Singing and dancing our way through the days. All of our time... together. But the light in your eyes faded. While your love for me had degraded. You made your decision, unsure, but thought with "precision" My light and happiness now raided. ...
