15 words entitled "no,"
Fairly self-explanatory, but to clarify: yes, the title must be "no," (without the speech marks, but with the comma) unless of course you want to break the rules ;)

No,

Time doesn’t heal all wounds; still stings. Damn it! will these stitches ever come off?

Write the truest sentence you know
"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know." -Ernest Hemingway. I don't know about anyone else but this quote really got me thinking so I want to know what your truest sentence is! The rules are simple: One sentence only, and seeing as this is a creative exercise no facts allowed. For example, the Earth goes around the Sun or humans need oxygen to survive are factually correct but will not be allowed. Get the gist? Good! Now let's see what you guys can come up with! The winner will be chosen by me and praised!

League in Stream of Consciousness

Walls

I shield myself from the ‘good’ things because they hurt the most. Love and the neat package it comes in, potential hurt disguised behind the curtains.

My mistake?

Broken wing

On the ground

Hopeless efforts to crawl

Efforts to 'do this on my own'

To fly,to prove wrong

The 'I' not 'we' did it

I want..scratch that,

I need help

Mere steps and few moments from complete misery

Damn clock won't stop ticking

And the taste of victory is foreign

I want to stand

I need to stand

I won't hold up a sign 'Help me'

Arrogant sometimes when I see a helping hand

Pity pennies in my hand

Feel like such a burden

But when you see me on the ground

Overlook what I've done

Please help me stand

Weirdo.

'Weirdo.'When we hear this word,someone comes to mind.Maybe that one friend you always wonder how you got close with,or that neighbour who seems to live in his small island of bizarre stuff;even that teacher living in a bubble,where perfection is the motto and on the bubble finally bursting releasing its occupants,finds it great a task to adapt to the evolving world.Admit it,there's that someone on your mind right now and you're thinking how long-lasting their uncanny way of life has lasted,never seeming to diminish;that it'd actually be weird if they didn't act that way.There's still someone else somewhere thinking of how peculiarity is your regular theme,your daily dose,the air you breathe.There's that one person you always leave bewildered at your strange demeanor.They can't fathom the contortions in your personality.To someone,you adorn a disturbingly indecent coat of awkward.To someone you're a weirdo.
