All our lives,
We are built up,
Only to be torn down.
In school,
We are taught to get good grades.
To attend a prestigious college,
And get a good job…
But all of this is just puts into debt,
For jobs that don’t even exist.
At home,
We are constantly compared to older siblings.
They have a good life,
Filled with achievement…
But as the younger siblings,
We will never be good enough.
In magazines,
We are told to be pretty.
To wear the latest designs,
And be skinny…
But what happens when it is taken too far,
Ending up with us hurting our bodies.
For competition,
We are told to be the best.
To come in first place,

A Cold Heart and a Dream to Fly
She was just a girl.
A girl with a cold heart and a harsh stare.
Every word that would flow past her lips,
Seemed to burn everyone who listened with verbal acid.
But can you blame her?
Every day she wakes up only to be judged.
Whispered words and hateful gazes pierced at her heart.
Now when she wakes, she judges herself.
During the day, she sits and hates herself.
But at night, she can escape to her dreams.
There she knows how to fly,
There she can tear the seams of reality,
And finally kiss a welcoming sky.
Sadly, no matter how enveloped in her dream,
Morning always came and called for her usual routine.
She was built like a strong castle.
I may not be pretty.
I may not be popular.
I may not be interested in fashion.
But I'm ok with that.
I know that I am me,
and me I shall forever be.
I will not be a robot.
I will not be your marionette.
I will not be fake.
Why bother judging me?
How does the way I look effect you?
Why do you judge me if I'm not you?
Well here's a news flash.
I am not you...
but just Simply me.
Snowflakes,
Snowflakes,
Floating in the air.
Wait for me I'll be right there.
I'm trapped inside,
But not for long,
Soon I will be where I belong.
I can hardly wait to be in your cold embrace,
As white frozen droplets fall down in grace.
Snow,
Oh snow,
Please don't go.
Bring me back to the time
Where I never wanted to cry,
And when I never wondered why I was alive.
Snow,
Oh snow,
Please don't go.

OH MY GAWSH! DID I ACTUALLY POST STUFF???? Yes. Yes I did. What's up guys/girls? I know I kept promising to post things without really posting them ~sweatdropplz (https://www.deviantart.com/sweatdropplz) but now I finally DID!! Hopefully, this artistic streak won't wear off anytime soon so I'll be able to post more often.
That's all,

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been posting much but rest assured, I have a few new pieces that I am hoping to upload soon. I entered some of my new poetry into a poetry contest so once I hear back from that then I will post them. Plus I'm doing the challenge thing where you take one of your old pieces and re-draw it so hopefully I'll be able to get a few of those out by the end of the year. By the way, I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving (assuming you celebrate it of course)!!!
Thanks,
Simplyme2322 :D
Hey everyone! So believe it or not, I am indeed dead but I love dA so much that I'm typing this on my ghost laptop... In all seriousness, I'm hoping to upload some new stuff soon. Actually, for 4th of July I was going to post a Hetalia comic where I am giving America a happy birthday cupcake... sadly I ended up thinking that it wasn't good enough, so I will not be posting it. There are pieces of art that I have been working on and, crossed fingers, I will approve of at least one to upload. On a completely unrelated topic, was anyone at Anime Boston 2013?? (click away now to avoid my chatter about it) My friend Julia and I went together, we g
I sent an angel to watch over you last night but it came back. I asked "why?" The angel said "angels don't watch over angels." Twenty one angels are IN your world. Ten of them are sleeping, Ten are playing, one is reading this message. Send this to ten friends including me. I guess if I don't get it back I'm not one of them. As soon as you get five replies, someone you love will quietly surprise you. Please read, not joking. God has seen you struggling with something. God says its over. A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God send this message on. Please don't ignore it. You are being tested. God is going to fix two things BIG tonight in your favor. DROP everything and pass it on. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. Don't break this chain. Send to 14 friends in 10 minutes. It's not that hard.
