Conceivable Conclusions.Conceivable Conclusions.

Maybe we fall because we know we can
And we stall when it comes to a helping hand.
Because we refuse to accept and to understand.
That a man would be willing to aid another man,
Without some sort of under hand, profitable plan.

Maybe we project our perceptions on to others.
Quotes that emerged and persevered by our mothers.
Home truths that we go on to eventually discover.
Making it the only way we can connect with each other.
Spurring us to find like minded friends, associates and lovers.

Maybe we lie because the truth is too bitter to bear.
We are inclined to believe that others do actually care.
And that thConceivable Conclusions. by *KelaLewis-Morin

Human Nature.Human Nature.

The dreamers,
The believers
And the ambitious achievers.

Need the realists to stop them from flying too close to the sun.

The realists,
The logical idealists
And the informed defeatists.

Need the dreamers to show them how some struggles can be won.

You see I am beginning to get the gist,

Of how we all unwittingly coexist.

Neither one can ever be dismissed,

As long as the reign of mankind persists.

As one tries, the other watches.

When one flies, the other dislodgeHuman Nature. by *KelaLewis-Morin

A Standing CorpseUnder the seething heat of the sun
A juniper stands on a dry hill
Like so many surrounding him
He was burned to death by a wildfire

His twisted branches are smoky white
Still reaching out for all the heavens
In botanical rigor mortis
Commemorating desperation

He is a skeleton of a tree
A standing corpse in desert sunlight
Never to drink another raindrop
As dry as the arth that hold his roots

I step closer to this juniper
Small clouds of dust kicked up by my feet
I gently touch his bark and wonder
How longuntil his form break apartA Standing Corpse by ~NathanielFlyingOwl

Fallen Heroes: Sapphirea Chapter 1 Meet Sophie
The world I live in is much different than yours. In mine people have superpowers and are worshiped like celebrities or in some cases Gods. Only certain people are born with the mutated gene that allows them the ability to have powers such as flight, speed, invisibility or anything else your mind can imagine. There are both villains to bring and reign terror and heroes to protect us but there are more villains than heroes in the world at the moment.

The hall was full of bustling people. All walking in different directions, to an outsider it would feel like utter chaos; with the pushing, talking, laughter and the screams. But to me it was just the daily grime. I ducked for a football, said hi to a group of people. Danced around a circle of girls, and finally pushed past a couple who seriously needed to get a room. I pried my locker opened and switched out my books like I do every day and slammed it shut to move on with my life. I turned to lFallen Heroes: Sapphirea Chapter 1 Meet Sophie by =brittacurls

VERY CHEAP Art! - Dad lost his job...So, like it says, I'll be doing cheap art. Don't worry, I will be giving you the same quality work that I always have given.
So, why do I have such cheap prices?
I need the money.
My dad was laid off from his job of 18+ years because the company's sales are down (or at least that is their reason for laying him off).
We will only be on my mom's income... which isn't much... and I will be helping with the bills now as well.
So here are my prices and some examples! I really hope to get some commissions or even some donations from anyone who would be willing. Any little amount helps.
MLP ART
Pony Heart or Pony Chub - $1.00
Sketch - $1.00
Line Art - $1.75
Flat Color - $2.00
Shaded/Highlighted - $4.00
Background - $1.00+
For each additional character it will be $1.00+
Chibi - $2

Realistic (painting) - $5.00
Background - $2.00+
Each additional character - $2.00+

So, I don't have school until next wednesday! YAHOO for me. But, of course, I will get SO BORED and thought "Hey, how about improving your art and making new friends at the same time?!" And then, BAM! I thought about this.
With just a comment below, you can ask for a drawing! Yeeeey~

Of course, it will be just a doodle like the ones I have on my gallery
=>>

Since I'm pretty bad with colouring well, not THAT bad but not good enough and I don't want to shame myself because of that, I choose to make just doodles.
IS TOTALLY FREE!
Just request them on a comment and you will get them. Also, a watch is very much appreciated. I will upload them on my gallery in sets of 1O, while I will individually upload them on the stash and note you the link so you have your doodle request at full size. NOTE; You can also choose the colour you want it. :3c
I'm totally lame.
