Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on black days
-Soundgarden.
Seattle is covered in black clouds today
and crows fall like flower petals from the sky
wings like silent songs and prayers
disappearing into the hole that's opened up in our hearts
for those who don't get why we mourn the deaths of artists, understand that they have been a respite from the storm, a haven when all around us goes dark and fear eats at our souls. They've been family, friends, role models, cheerleaders, and teachers. They have been there when those who should have been have failed us. They helped us through bad times and helped show us how to survive when things are hard. Sometimes they help us get out of bed. Sometimes they keep us on our feet when we want to give up. Sometimes they save our lives. Artists have inspired us in endless ways during our lives. Shown us the beauty, the ugly, comforted us through fear and through anger. We've made memories with them, so when they die, a part of us dies.
RIP Chris. Love to your family, friends, and fans. You will be greatly missed.
i've been a bit distracted lately and kind of missed this. i think everyone who entered this was a winner. everyone's poems were amazing and beautiful and heart felt. i'm proud to be part of a community that can come together like this and just be part of something bigger than the sum of it's parts. everyone who entered, read, voted, and judged; thank you.
Was the picture taken right after you went swimming?
Depends. do i know her? is she just some random stranger? is she drunk? is she hot? does she spell lesbians with an apostrophe?
no, it won't take it out automatically. if you want single space, you have to do that manually. that said, while we prefer single space, we will publish double spaced stories.
all the time, just to sort of share my thoughts or something funny.
you suck. *giggles and runs*
