Contradictions

We all seem to have things in common

We all seem to have distinct qualities

we all know nothing is what it seems

we all know the end justifies the means

we all learn to believe in new things

we all learn to stick to what we know

we all want what we can never have

we all want what we let go

we all dream of bigger and better things

we all dream things will stay the same

in our world of contradictions

we all grow older

in our world of technology

we all grow younger

we don't know where this path will take us

we don't know any other way to go

Changing and growing

All these thing just keep happening
it seems so unreal
everything continues changing
all i want is to stop
to go back to the beginning
but we can't pretend
can't forget
can't stop
we have to learn
we have to change we have to let go
let go of out past
and move towards our future

I wish I could get you offmy mind
I wish I could get you out of my head
sometimes it feels like the last time
but then I see your face again
it may be real
or it may be a dream
but I can't forget
what has happened between
during the time we have spent together
and the time we have spent apart
I know it can never be better
because I have already given
you my heart
you need to decide
what it is you plan to do
you can't understand
what it is like for me
to watch you be in love with her
and everyday see you disappointed
its like everything inside of me is breaking
every time something inside of you breaks
we have shared so much
but I have never been honest
the way I feel for you
is not something friendship can handle
I need so much more than that
you are the only person
I have ever given myself to
so completely you consume me
even when I know you shouldn't
i tried to push myself away from you
because i know this isn't safe
but there is nothing i can do
its already far to late

A New Sunrise

It is that time again,
When darkness grows thin
A light begins to take over.
Everything is behind us,
It is time to start fresh,
To forget the past,
And to move towards the future.
It is a new day
In a brand new year,
Things have never seemed so clear.
Some people are making resolutions,
Others are sick of looking for solutions,
I on the other hand,
Know better.
I am blessed to have what I
And I don't need what I don't.
Things will continue
There is nothing we can do,
Just sit and watch the sunrise
With no judgement in your eyes.

Why?

I use to Flit
I use to Flutter
I use to Fly.

Now I Sit,
Now I Wonder,
Now I ask Why,

Why can't I get away from you?
Why can't I see past this?
Why do you feel like a must?

There are others that could replace you
They want to be with me too
Why do they feel like a bust?

I know the answer
I know the reason
I know the truth.

I can't keep it in. But,
How do I tell you,
When I know your not ready?
(here it goes)
Please try to keep steady,
I Love You
that's why.

Adopt A Pet -WPA

A WPA is a way to get information out about issues that people are facing. In makes the world more aware but not in the same way that a commercials or printed fliers would. Its an art and it makes you stop and look at it. The I WANT YOU posters could even be categorized as a WPA, it got peoples attention and people still look at it today and now exactly what it means. My WPA is an issue on war but one on animal control and the fact that there are milions of animals sitting in dog pounds hoping to be adopted that will probably get put down in the end.

Industrial Melancholy

this was the first image that i did and i really liked it and thought it looked good but then i realized that it was in the wrong size.:(
so after figuring out the right size using the same pictures from the image above this is what i came up with. lily likes this one better but im not so sure.
this was my second image and the one that i struggled with the most. i struggled because it had a lot of like neon pink in the building which was the farthest thing form what i was going for and it took me a while to come up with a good way to get the color out.
this was the third image i came up with and its actually one of my favorites so im really excited. i tried to take out the sky on one of the pictures (the one with the building)but once i removed it i really missed it so i found a way to blend the two skies together and im really satisfied with the outcome.
