Uncovering Myself - A MemoirUncovering Myself (A Memoir)   
Growing up, I never knew I was autistic.   
How is that possible? Well, to be honest: my particular brain malfunction is pretty rare, very high-functioning, and can be—and in fact, was—mistaken for the typical social awkwardness of someone much too smart for his own damn good.   
I'd started reading at an unbelievably young age, but had serious problems dealing with my own age group. I couldn't figure how to fit in, and eventually stopped trying; I became sarcastic, insensitive and often quite hurtful—traits which, as one can imagine, didn't exactly get me invited to a lot of parti Uncovering Myself - A Memoir

Activity No. 5 -Poetry-It’s so sad that you are leaving  I hardly even knew you  And there you go  Being whisked away into the blue  But even though the time was short  The moments can never fade  They will always remain in our thoughts  Remember the friends you have made here  Remember we will always, always be here for you.   
Don't say anything, don't say a word  It's better just to leave it at "Goodbye"  Say no more than you must, for my heart's about to go bust  All the happiness we've shared together now seems like a lie.  You should probably go now, and be on your way,  You have place Activity No. 5 -Poetry-

Activity No. 4 -Stories-The Brick   
The brick stares at me. Red and solid, it bars the path to my black belt. It's an obstacle I've never faced.   
It's every obstacle I've ever faced.   
I breathe. Breaking the brick will hurt. Not breaking it will hurt more.   
Focus is the key; I pick my spot and address my target. Once. Twice. I cock back my arm, breathe in...   
...and release. My hand explodes forward; the heel of my palm strikes the baked-clay barrier dead center.   
Something snaps. For a moment, I fear it's my wrist.   
Then I look down at the shattered brick. And I breathe. Activity No. 4 -Stories-

Zodiac--Aries Chapter-part 1Crisp , sharp, but at the same time smooth and soft. Both warm and nostalgic and cold and new. A blow of wind?  A memory caressing my mind? A story? A dream? Reality?  
 
Stand beside strangers. Past Friends. Now Enemies. Future to come they’ll have no faces. Forever together. Living. Close your eyes. Take a breath. And smile.

About ~written-from-within

~written-from-within is an informal, layed-back club dedicated to getting upcoming and devoted writers a chance to interact with each other, join each other in weekly activities to learn new styles and genres of writing, and submit their personal works of art to be shared with the club and be noticed around the world.
~written-from-within will soon be holding a contest (hopefully) every six months where a member can win a one year subscription. Otherwise the club hosts a weekly activity which can be suggested by any of the members.
The aim of ~written-from-within is to create a friendly environment where members can interact and get to know each other as I, ~silverwolf71190, founder of ~written-from-within believe that this environment is ideal for learning.
Here at ~written-from-within, there is only one specification as to what style of writing a member enters and that is that they only enter the work they're proud of, no matter what genre or whether it is poetry or prose. Hence our title, ~written-from-within.

Last Activity

This activity was suggested by ~silverwolf71190

The Activity did well, as a reminder it was:

A Best Friend is Leaving

I had a best friend that left a while back and got a group of those who miss her to write a stanza each which became one poem. So the activity was based on that idea of a going away gift.

The activity was to write a NINE lined stanza devoted to a best friend leaving for good. The form (set up) was to be in:

a
b
c
b
d
e
d
f
g

All the stanza's were then placed into one poem.

Thanks to all who entered. The participants were:
~Kung-fu-girl90
~Count-Le-Madphantom

This activity was for all members...
