Life is EnjoyableWe all need to take a step back
And realize just how precious life is

It's a beautiful time to smile and have fun and laugh
And a difficult time to cry and be broken and scream

Often people fantasize about the perfect life
No death or war or poverty or grief
No religion or homophobia or bullying

I never fantasize about that anymore though
It's not like I don't want it all to happen
But can you see life without hardships?

It'd be so damned boring
If you never were sad
Could you imagine?

I think if all the problems were solved
And there were no more bad things
Only then would I consider killing myself

Dear Yaoi Fangirls: I Hate You

It's true.

I hate yaoi fangirls, and I am one.

You may be looking at me with tears in your eyes right now and saying, "Why Chopstick... why?!"

Well, I'm gonna tell you why.

1.  You're just writing about them because they're hot.

Let's just forget that they hated each other in the game.  Let's completely forget that both of them were completely straight and had loving girlfriends in the anime.  And heaven forbid I bring up the idea that they were really "just friends" in the manga.  I'm not really bitching about drabbles or crackfics so much as I am the fifty-page-long epics that completely ignore canon.

AND I MEAN COMPLETELY.

EmoSo what if I'm emo?
So what if I cry?

I'm not THAT emotional,
I dont want to die.

So what if I dress in a different style?
There's no need to scream and run for a mile

I dont like to cut and abuse my arm,
I am not depressed,
so why cause self harm?

Could it be that I am just like you?
That I can smile, giggle and laugh along too?

Could it be that I am happy with myself?
It's just that I am not some pretty doll on the shelf.

Could it be that the only reason i dye my hair black;
Is because I dont want to be some barbie in a bimbo girl pack.

These are the reasons, and I'll tell you why,

dArama - ISSUE ONE - Love.

The dynamic between core staff, volunteer staff, and the community can at times be pure quality dArama.

It's worth noting that for years I've worked pretty hard to remain neutral on community politics. Today, I'm going to shatter that concept.

Needless to say, I am extremely politically aware of the inner workings of the deviantART community. I read *a lot* of journals, comments, forums, chat rooms. I have fake accounts. I spy.

But I don't spend my time talking politics, instead I focus internally at deviantART designing technologies and implementing understandings with core staff to address the issues I see pop up.

Sometimes I Lose ThingsSometimes I lose things.

Sometimes it's little things.

Things like my ipod or my keys.

Bobby pins and chapsticks often evanesce without warning or cause.

Sometimes I lose bigger things.

Things like my favorite sweater or my school bag.

Things like the reason I came into a room,

Or the memories of what I had for breakfast that morning.

Sometimes I lose my train of thought, or the point I was trying to make or an idea.

Sometimes I lose arguments.

Sometimes I lose friends.

I like to think all the things I lose go to the same place.

A plain white place full of hair ties and dollar store bracelets,

The Bleeding Rose

I know that on this day
That I'm not okay
I thought about you
And the pain just grew

Last year, oh I loved it
And oh how I loved you
The end of last year, and the start of a new
God I hate myself, I wish I could pull trough

I hope your happy
I hope you're in love
I hope you hate me
I hope you move on

But I'm stuck here
All alone and cold
Hating myself, so much fun
Loving you, that pain goes on

Last year I held you
In my arms
Nothing could be better
god my heart was warm

But this year
I'm sitting on the stairs
holding a single rose
And that rose is bleeding

That rose, the rose you took
you promised to keep it

Heart Break

You sit there,
Crying a waterfall of tears,
Soaking the pillow under your head,
Wishing for the pain to end…

The world seems as if it's crashing down on you,
All your focus is on making the regret, the heartbreak, the betrayal,
Leave your soul through your tears…
I've been there.

Your heart feels abused and torn,
Ripped out of your body,
Leaving you gasping for breath,
Because he once was your life line, your reason to live.

Your love was toyed with by the boy you thought you knew,
Who you thought was the one,
Yet your heart was broken into pieces in the blink of an eye…
I've been there.

Staring at a blank paper
Is an artist's worst nightmare.
The artist is the shaper,
Their thoughts somewhere up in the air.

They are searching for inspiration,
Sometimes they are even searching the skies.
It takes a lot of concentration,
But you can always see the passion burning in their eyes.

Being an artist does not always mean you're creative.
It just means that you want to create something,
And never want to give up.An artist10 months ago in Free Verse

The Avatar StateThe Avatar State:

Just as there are four elements
Existing in harmony with one another
So too are there four states of poetry:

[Air:]
Air is the element of freedom
Exemplified by the use of free verse
It has no structure and no true shape
But allows us creative control

Through the use of air as a poetic medium
We allow our emotions a freedom to be
We allow them to soar upon worded wings
Gliding freely through the skies of literature

[Water:]
Water is the element of the changing flow
It can be hard as ice or as soft as snow.
Its nature resembles the power of rhyme
Which grants us order and a structured mind

MASS EFFECT 3 ALTERNATE ENDING *SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY*

**EDIT** Holy crap this got way more attention than I was expecting. The comments and support have been amazing everyone!
A few points: Credit where credit is due; this ending, as much as everyone seems to love it, was only created because the amazing team at Bioware created a universe that was so rich and full of life and detail. As much as I know a lot of fans are hurt by what they did, we need to remember that Bioware still created an incredible trilogy, one of the best ever. So hats off to them all round.

I am not Blind; I just love to listen.

I am not Retarded; I just learn differently than you.

I am not ADHD; the world just fascinates me.

I am not Depressed; this is how I smile

I am not Fat; I'm just as big as my heart.

I am not Bisexual; I want to share my love with all.

I am not Cross-eyed; One eye sees beauty in this universe,
the other looks towards my future.

You Left Me StrongerYou Left Me Stronger:

Hey there, it's been awhile, do you remember me?

I guess you might not, since I wasn't very important to you.

You know, I spent so many days thinking about - what I did wrong

I questioned if maybe, I was at fault or if I was screwed up.

I thought a lot about the things you said...

The things that were my fault, my problems.

I took them to heart at first, but then I realised you were wrong.

I realised that you are selfish and ugly on the inside.

On the surface you pretended to care, but like a cancer;

You amputate someone the moment you think they've gone bad.

You hide from the rigours of life and only emerge lYou Left Me Stronger6 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word
