Shattered DreamsWhy does this
Have to be so hard?
Every pinprick of light
Oh so quickly to be marred?

This was s'posed to be the dream.
What I'd worked for all my days.
Yet the reality is so grim
It leaves me in a daze.

This should be so easy.
It's done all the time.
So why should I struggle so?
Whatever was my crime?

Perhaps it is since
Everything up to now
Flowed perfectly, easily
And I never questioned how

Is it time to pay the piper?
Time for the hardship a life's due?
I don't know how I will cope
But I will try to make it through.

Jump RopeI look around me with wide eyes
Each leaf, each brick a sharp reminder I can't permit
I want to forget it all, not think for just a minute.

Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder

Back and forth, like a pendulum
Each swing paralleling the thoughts ricocheting inside me
The freeness of falling, the pressure of gravity

Up, down, up, down

Swinging back and forth
The hot sun warming my shoulders bare
The cool wind blowing through my hair

Up, down, up, down, yeah

The rhythm's pounding in my ears
Words fill my brain, replacing my worries with stories that were never my own
Until I forget

Lonely Lullabyby ~Emberpelt

Digital Art / Mixed Media / People

I was listening to Lonely Lullaby over and over last night (since those of us who don't have an iPod can now get it!) and it is just so sad but beautiful! So I, of course, had to make something with it. I had a lot of fun with this one!! I might post a step-by-step of how I made it at some point, iono.

This is also my entry to #I-AM-Owl-City's contest!

I used this photo that I took at his concert:

Whhh-owwwww....... really, when I read your A/N, that's seriously what I've been doing these past few nights too. ^^ My friend gave me the song, and I've been sitting outside watching the planes take off at SeaTac around 1 or 2 in the morning, constantly listening to this song. ^^

I love the picture!! Those are my absolute favorite lines. But then again, I simply love the entire song.

Wonderful job.
