The Directors Couch

I am an actress I am a strong woman I am starting to become famous my next movie is a thriller Director calls me that's a chiller The lights are low in his large office he pats me on the bum I stare at him an ancient creep he tries to fondle me I try to leave he presses into me This monster he can drop me When I depart I shake inside Directors couch it really, really happens Chorus In Hollywood it is not real The power is abusive We want the part just based on merit not for sexual favors There are more victims they show themselves They want to stop these actions We go to court he goes to jail A message loud and clear Stand up and fight for it is right you cannot stay so silent Chorus In Hollywood it is not real the power is abusive We want the part just based on merit Not for sexual favors

This Girl Is Not Okay

By Karianne Gabaldon


This is when I was struggling with anorexia(I’ve struggled with both bulimia and anorexia) and nobody offered me help, even when I literally cried for it. So this is basically me talking to myself and about myself and trying to better me for me. I was all alone in this so I had to help myself. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. And I still, at times, struggle with eating because since I had to do it on my own I never fully recovered.

World in Trouble

By Brian Hendrix


I was checking Netflix for those original Superman movies, Christopher Reeve, and only found Supergirl. I'm a country music writer. Even still, I challenged myself to write a song that could be used as a theme for a superhero show, movie, series, etc. Five minutes later, this is what I had come up with. I think it's a great song. It's really about a girl who thinks she needs to be the best at everything to be loved, but the truth is that life is indifferent to you. Even if you're a hero, they only care about the hero, not about you, and they'll forget your name when you're gone. But it's laced with superhero references so hopefully I can one day hear it on a Netflix show. Enjoy.
