let me tell you a story.
this is a story, about a boy and a girl.
and it ain't no love story;
but we try.
it's a tragedy, really.
this is a story, about distance and loss.
and how miles are infinite,
and smiles are not.
this is a story, about you and me.
about two wolves hiding
amongst ignorant sheep.

a letter to a friend.
No, you are not an omnipotent deity.
You do not exist to rule the world,
no matter the words spoken from your chaste
lips, covered in poison-
-ous gloss and bleeding all the shades of deceit.
Please, stop lying to yourself.
You aren't a genius,
far from it, though I must admit
your ingenuity is precious
so please don't waste your life ignoring it.
There are ways to be great without perfection.
Your castle is weaker than you think.
The crown never fit your head for a
reason, it always was too big,
covering your eyes blind.
You can't see yourself; the walls are cracked and breaking. Stop this stupid reign.
Friend, I'm sorry, but you c

becoming an artist
So you want to be an artist?
Prepare for long nights
spent watching the moon descend into darkness,
and the soul-rendering morning searching for a sunset,
before you can even begin to pick up a brush
or sharpen your pencil.
Become embodied into
the idea of "maybe" rather than "definite"
because this is not an easy job,
not a hobby to earn side cash.
You can find the word art in heart
but you must learn to
put your heart in your art, even a piece,
and offer it as sacrifice.
Prepare for your world
to transfigure around you, spiraling far from touch.
Don't try to reach for it, filled with graves
hidden from naked eye, just watch from
Midnight Lover by UniqueStrangeAwesome, literature

Midnight Lover
I heard a cat last night.
It roared like
a lion,
crashing over trash bins
outside my cove.
A rude intruder
in my peaceful hovel.
As I peered through red-rimmed blinds,
sitting tall
over-confident
was a black cat;
he reminded me of you.
And hadn't Mother told me
to avoid such cats?

don't fall in love with a romantic
i.
don't fall in love with a romantic
because they're hopeless,
seriously.
but you'll love them for it anyway.
ii.
don't fall in love with a romantic
because they will make you the center
of their world, and you might feel
flattered, but there's always that
small niggling in you that also feels a little guilty.
iii.
don't fall in love with a romantic
because their admiration and love and
respect towards you
is obvious, and they will never pause
in showing it.
iv.
don't fall in love with a romantic
because you'll never feel good enough
to walk hand in hand with them
and be on their level as a person.
you'll never fit the role of

an unruly field
of cowards
starving for attention
grasping at the bare
threads of
power

The Little Prince
I'll forever remember you as
the Little Prince,
up on Asteroid B-612,
dreaming of his little flower
that he left all alone, defenseless.
And I can't help but wonder in tired irritation,
why you can't see me as someone important,
like the singled out rose.
“Why can't you be tamed by me.”
I look at the stars to hear your laughter,
and the sweet bells twinkling.
But I only hope
that you keep your end of the promise,
and remember me as your diligently providing well,
as you go to your home and tend
to the flower you've always loved more.

Celebrate DeviantArt's 15th Birthday!
As DeviantArt enters its 15th year on the Internet, we want to take a moment before blowing out our candles to thank the community for allowing us the honor of hosting the site that you call your home for art. After all, it's the community's 15th birthday, too, and in the past few months, we've been making it our top priority to share with you our plans for the future, celebrate the successes of our past, and look to you for guidance on how best we can serve each of you while entering this new phase of DeviantArt's existence.

DeviantArt is a vast community with over 35 million registered deviants. As such, it can be hard to find people you know or artists you might be interested in watching. As part of our recent initiative to simplify and unify the DeviantArt experience, we're looking into new and easier ways to find help you find deviants you want to interact with.
We recently posted this question in the Forums to get a sense for how best to improve these circumstances, and now we're interested in hearing from the community at large.
How would you like to find other deviants?
Example ideas for improved connections include:

Depression is a choice, my dear,
And happiness the same
You choose this illness, don’t you?
What a tragic little game.
Depression is an option, love
Just get up out of bed
Take your tears and worries
And just smile now instead.
Depression is a choice, you see,
And so is suicide.
Just sit back, kick your feet up, dear
Enjoy this perfect ride.
Get over your own standards
Of what everyone should be.
Just smile for once, and maybe
You’ll be living perfectly.
...
But...
Depression is an illness
That we feel so deep within.
Why would anybody choose
To write poetry on their skin?
Unless there lies a reason, dear,
