Important update This project has now been moved over to AttainableWishlist (https://www.deviantart.com/attainablewishlist). I hope you will join us there! When I was younger, my Mum was temporarily laid off from her job. That left her, my sister, and I with virtually no income, and we ended up living on my paycheck from McDonald's to get by (I was still in school). They were tough times, but we made it by with laughter, love, and we grew up knowing what strength in family is. I carry that lesson with me every single day, and as tough as it was, I am very thankful to have learned it. It has helped out in a huge way. During those times, though, we didn't go out and do much stuff (not

tolerance can only go so far

i. maybe one day you'll look down at your arm and realize you can't count the tracks any more. they've become innumerable, almost like the stars in the sky, like every single raindrop that's been lost in the ocean. and maybe you'll decide to put the needle down for once 'cause you had forgotten that you had a choice. ii. maybe one night you'll look down the neck of your umpteenth bottle and realize you're killing yourself instead of your worries. it seems the cure's become the affliction (funny how that happens) yet denial still sits on your heavy tongue. and maybe you'll decide to put the bottle down for once 'cause you had forgotten why yo

Lyric Poem Game

Jul 6, 2015

The amazing littleblueraccoon (https://www.deviantart.com/littleblueraccoon) did this, and it looked like so much fun, so I decided to try it out. . How To Play: Put your iPod/iTunes/Spotify/Pandora/music player of some kind on shuffle, and then write the first lyric of each song that comes up. Do this for twenty songs, and you'll create a poem! NO SKIPPING, you must use whatever song pops up no matter how silly, nonsensical, or embarrassing it makes your poem! And you must use the lyrics in the order they pop on on shuffle.

This poem has been removed.

[This poem has been removed as it lacks the emotional and verbal depth to be a real poem. When submitting please remember that a real poet is an outcast and eccentric, with real emotional trauma, and lacking these qualities nothing the submitter writes can ever be considered a poem. If you wish to re-submit your work, please follow these guidelines: -o- Please remove all instances of self-depreciation and any words that clearly allude to pain. These are "emo" and therefore not real poetry. -o- Please do not write about love if under the age of twenty-one, as an adolescent obviously knows nothing about such an adult emotion. -o-

Your Poetry Sucks

Yes, roses are red And violets are blue But you have to understand Who said they had to, Its about imagination Emotion and orignality Not the reiteration Of dead men's practicality These words, They are your sentence To a world that has to listen As you create the difference Whether it be With angst poem against love Or how you set your heart free To fly like a dove, For these words Whether or not they be true Their beauty and ideals Will be used to define you, So yes, Hope ,in fact, has feathers And like a caged bird it sings But these words will only be tethers That strip you of your wings, Those are their words Meant for their time And me
