My Literally Me Perspective

My Literally Me Perspective

Anon is currently speaking inside his own head squabbling in depression with what he would consider inner poetic justice. However he cannot rhyme due to his obscene anger at the world and more specifically  his crush and her new boyfriend. (V.O)

Damn

Damn I say!

A god damn if you will

My ear is piercing 

Nothing is truly clear.

Now, across from here

She is with him 

How can they love each other so dearly?

His love for her can’t be real

It can never be

It must be fake

It could  be a lie

There is no truth in his love

It could never be like mine.

Read more: My Literally Me Perspective

They could never love like I do

Not many could

I am a special case

I am surreal deal

I can laugh but not cry

I like to think I am an extra bit real.

No I would never have to

I’m not a man who needs to think

I actually just always know

Truly all the time

I am literally me.

I am literally just like all my favorites

I am literally Bateman

I am literally the Batman

Actually I am just like Ed Norton in fight club

My personality is raw and different. 

So why in the hell

Could she not be with me?

What were the rules against it?

That guy will only ever be him

But I was always literally me.

A shitposter if you will

I have no depression

No need to see a therapist

I am a special type of person

Brimmed with justice and no consolation.

So why the hell

Am I only the ¨he¨ and never ¨him¨

I can never be the main character

Always an outsider

Always afraid.

I live in the background

Deep within my own dread

Just reading the books

Watching my movies

Lovingly eating my sushi.

A girl like her

She could never like someone.

Someone so literally me

She is a pretty doll

While I am a goblin.

All I can do his watch and stare

As they drink their tea

And listen as my friend gags with laughter

As he watches me gleefully

As I hit all the stages of my despair.

His laughter and happiness begin to move onto me

I am actually feeling quite funny

It may never be so bad to let out a little laugh

It is all just highschool after all

All here will never really matter.

That’s what I like to think

I always have them anyways

The moments of despair.

I’ll just go ahead and move on from her

Like I always do.

My friend assures me to not care

I suppose I guess I won’t

For now I wont know if it will matter

I am only 16 after all

Just for now I will continue to be just me.

What’s Dead Isn’t Truly Dead by Makenzie Slack

Prologue

My body was in intense pain, from my eyes down to my stomach. I couldn’t tell where I was; it was dark and cold, and I couldn’t move, although I felt like I was floating. I thought that couldn’t be right, only to hear it out loud. It was repeating. Over and over until I thought my head would explode. Then suddenly bombarded with memories. I remember…I know what he did…. . At this point, I wanted to cry. I bawled in thought until I felt something….

Chapter 1 Awake

I felt this sensation like electricity, and all the pain subsided, but I cried, cried like the pathetic person I am; I couldn’t even put up a fight. I did nothing to stop him; I did nothing to save them. I felt tears streaming down my face. I could tell someone was looking at me. I could feel their eyes burning into my back, and I still cried until they tapped me.

In a deep, low-pitched voice. “Hey…who are you….” I’d find this voice familiar; however, it was too low-pitched, so I couldn’t place it.

“I-I … I’m Jack…” I said in a scared little voice; I jumped slightly hearing my voice. It was different and glitchy. They sighed; I didn’t move. I sat there, noticing the surroundings were mostly white with tiny grey squares.

“My-my name is H-Henry-but please just call me Eteled,” they said grimly.

Henry? Henry… I could’ve sworn I heard that name before! I turned my head to face them. A bald Mii, wearing all black with wide cartoonish eyes and a slight grimace. wait…am I in the Wii?! I thought. I looked down at my hands as a shock hit me. I am a Mii. But how? Wasn’t I supposed to be dead just a moment ago?

Black Screen/ Fade in:

1 EXT. BENCH-NIGHT

Draketh (Teenager) is standing in the cold Swiss autumn hitting the winter air and weather, he is simply staring off into the distance only with bare small movements in his leg. (Sounds of synthwave Jazz begin to play quietly)

CUT TO-CLOSE UP SHOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD

He is first staring down at the ground looking melancholy towards the earth but begins to lift his head up and start blinking rapidly.

CUT TO-GROUND SHOT (BEHIND SHOULDER LEVEL OF DRAKETH)

We are then shown the ground behind him but in a blurry depth of field, as drake begins to turn his head behind him a small cardboard figure begins to lurch into the frame and become more visible as he stands motionless on the ground. For now, he is named Cardy.

The Depth of Field begins to less again as we can suddenly see a close up shot of Draketh from a god like perspective looking down on him as he eats a biscotti. By this point he is no longer looking behind him and his head is in the original position.

We Could Be Juicy by Jesse Diaz

(Work in progress for non-fiction writing contest.)

Self-confidence has always been something the average American teen in the 21st century struggles towards, the movement in time in which the stars of space begin to circulate deeply into a plethora of abnormal gasses. Despite the fact, I’m sure that we already have so many but perhaps if scientist were able to deeply look deeper into the vastness of chemicals and space and elements and whatever other sciencey shit people smarter than me get their rocks off to with big giant busty big ass eyeballs than perhaps the world may or may not accelerate at a vastly superior pace than it is right now. It would be so egregiously cute if it was possible for the nerds of the world to recognize funny little gasses that make a fart 11% less smelly, harboring into the vacuum of outer worlds. I am so grateful for people smarter than me-truly. I adore them, actually. They give me room to think about space farts instead of indulging in whatever the Spanish teacher is speaking about. Truthfully, I don’t consider myself a bad kid, both in terms of grades and behavior. I’m an A, B, there may or may not be one C honor roll student who spends his free time in the study of filmmaking and other arts like writing. I’m a rather polite and shy little boy, most of the time, if I get to know you like a true friend, I am the edgiest troll of the century, a straight rebellious G spouting the most edgelord humor to grace the ear-holes of your ear-drums. Truly-absolute. But I have flaws too, I am shy. Too shy, I lack self-confidence and for as much fun as I have acting like the adult with too much self awareness. I am at the end of the day the adult…with too much self awareness. But why let yourself go nutty to become a teen, as long as one drenches themselves in irony and satire, you feel you can protect yourself yeah?

I always had that mindset, for a while, actually. Since 5th grade more accurately, to put into theory, I have put myself in a very obscene position for the last 5 years of my life that I tend to feel most around me don’t. Truly, I always want to put myself into the organic life of the man who does 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and the moistest skin care routine I possibly can. If the audience I entertain in my mind was unable to tell, I do love making dynamical movie references. 

Experiment 002: Quintessential Comedy By: Jesse Diaz

Why do I joke so often?

When you grow up you never divulge in the catalyst of your own self-contained world

The world is always simply self-contained

Self-indulgent

Your own world is

But aiming toward others is a human attribute is it not?

Maybe when the world was different

we were among the individuals in society who would rebel

Kill

Eat

But I know nothing of those days according to the elders

I was never there

No matter how many Movies I watched

Songs I listened to

My studies

The books

1984

It could never have been enough

Not for you at least

I miss it nonetheless

I miss talky neon lightly lights, glowing cars, and David Hasselhoff

How can I?

I just do

I am very sure back in these days I could joke

I could liberate

I could indulge and I could talk.

I don’t feel like I could do that anymore

Not for her, not for me

Not for anyone.

I could try for a while, but that is only a while

I wish I could grow up older

Back when I could talk

Back when the countries would never hate me

Back when comedy was quintessential

Nightimers Limousine Dream (ScreenPlay, Work In Progress) By: Jesus Diaz

EXT. ROSE – NIGHT

A rose in front of a dark and grayish background with a sliver of golden liquid slowly dripping from it. (in black and white filter, with only the golden liquid being in color.)

NARRATOR (V.O.)

Some say that at a time in ones own life, love is seen throughout the complexities of the human body–for some there is one in the world that can only exist for them.

FADE TO:

The bottom of the flower is not visible in a close up shot, the black and white filter remains the same and pedals slowly begin to fall off.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

This is an ideal that begins to take over many of the zeitgeist in one’s teenage year. For most, this is a concept that only exists for those in teenage years, but sadly for some the ideals and beliefs never leave their mind.

CUT TO:

INT. LIMOUSINE – NIGHT

An eye-level shot of the limousine window, the limousine is moving normally. The outside world is a visible mountain range with a few slight buildings very visible.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

In most cases, this creates a dissemblance in one’s mind on what the concept of love may become.-

Suddenly, a shadow figure passes through the limousine, barely visible.

NARRATOR (CONT’D) (V.O.)

In some cases, a room in one’s mind may not truly be finished. No matter how intelligent the individual may be, beyond their thoughts of love. Beyond their thoughts of intimate-sexual desires.
