Your Story
I'd much rather cry for you
'Cause my story is too painful to share
I'd much rather smile for you
'Cause my story is too painful to bear
So come here and I'll wrap my arms around you
Come here and I'll let your story shine
But after you share your story
Please don't ask me about mine
If only I could play the violin
I'd share my past through sorrowful chords
Vibrato on strings would be my voice
Fighting my demons with imaginary swords
Although I'm limited to words on paper
And the words aren't sung by a beautiful voice
These words make my story into a song
And this song confronts you with a choice
You can close your eyes
And pretend this i

Pride and Acceptance ?
They loathe me;
they shout the worst words
(the kind that encircle you like flies; relentless) -
burning, scathing words.
It doesn't matter. I don't care what anybody else says.
I am alone, shunned.
I curl up in the wastelands
of something I once recognised
as my most intimate identity,
but now feels foreign and outlandish;
like myself.
They're just words. I don't have to let them get to me.
I am proud.I don't need anyone elseto accept me;I accept myself.

Please, don't give up.
You’re not alone, even if you feel such sorrow
Please try to calm your mind and forget about tomorrow
I know that life can hurt, but from my happiness you can borrow
Please don't cry anymore, I will help you with the troublesome morrow
Even if the bad seem to be everywhere you go
Just keep in mind that you have to stay away from what’s below
And I know that you’ll learn from these bad experiences
So then you can help those who are inexperienced
Please don’t be sad, everyone has a reason for his or her existence
You can’t ever give up, push through and have resistance
The worst thing you could do is to l

Wow, just, I don't really know how to compile my thoughts well enough to describe what I'm feeling. However, I will do my best. When I normally do a critique I talk about what I liked and what could be improved, but I don't feel like that would be appropriate here.
I would like to let you know that the natural flow and simple, yet deep word choice stood out to be; mostly because I felt as though these were my own thoughts written before me. It was as though all the feelings I haven't had the courage to face presented themselves in an eloquent way to make me understand that they could not be ignored forever. I feel as though every line was taken straight out of my life and placed here before me. However, I am not here to talk about me, I would just like to convey how touching this has been.
I feel as though I should be giving words of encouragement rather than critiquing the work; I can tell you are hurting very deeply. So I will take this moment to say that every moment you have the courage to face the live before you makes you that much stronger than those around you that seem to have the "perfect" life, or at least a life they've figured out. Each person has their own struggles, some are harder than others. You are a strong, brave, amazing young girl. And yes, though I don't know you, I know that you are. The words you write show great intelligence, and strength through the greatest trials. The sympathy you feel for others shows your noble character, something very few can say they have. It's just your insecurities, and your guilt that are holding you back from being the beautiful, talented woman you want to become. Once you get over your most formidable foe--yourself--you can do anything. You are not causing pain to the people, and Deity, you think you are. They can get hurt, but they are not in pain. They love you, and for someone to truly love you, a little scratch can't break them. They truly do love you, and when you start to love yourself, you'll feel that. From someone who's been in your very shoes, I can tell you this is true.
We love you, yes, all of us. DeviantArt is a community. And because you have given us the chance to get to know you, we love you so very much. You have many friends here who would be happy to give you a virtual shoulder to cry on; myself very much included. Again, we love you, and will always be here for you.
