Toxic bonds

For this edition, yet again, our creative writing entries were amazing! We asked our fellow young writers to let their imagination run wild and take part in our “Unexpected beginnings” writing competition. The brief was to craft a captivating story, poem, or piece of creative writing but with a twist: The first sentence had to begin with “I didn’t mean to…

I didn’t mean to

That’s what they say.

Then they chip away at your confidence

Day after day.

They say that you are their friend,

But they are much more toxic.

They are not your enemy,

But you seem to be.

Such toxic people,

Guided by jealousy.

Please note: All articles written by young people are fictional in nature and nothing is to be taken as fact.
