Tired, So Tired by rubethemime, literature

Literature

Tired, So Tired

I’m tired so tired Of pretending to know what I’m doing When I really have no clue why I’m here, where I’m going, what comes next. I’m tired of being afraid. Of always watching for danger, expecting the worst, of never feeling safe. I’m tired of being so tired. Of forcing myself to keep going, when I just want to sleep. I’m tired of being alone. Of constantly feeling different, not fitting in, not being able to relate. I’m tired of false hopes, of shattered dreams, of never getting it right, of starting over and ov

The Past has Become the Present by rubethemime, literature

Literature

The Past has Become the Present

Unsure of where to go, what to do, when the past feels like the present. Can't let go of the feelings (fear sorrow disgust rage) that should've died years ago. Body's stuck. The past has become the present. Can't relax, can't trust (especially not myself), can't move on. How can you love, sleep, adapt, care, when the past is still taking place?

My Best Friend by rubethemime, literature

Literature

My Best Friend

Your eyes may be a little glossier than they used to be, but you're still as happy as ever. Your hips may be a little weaker than they used to be, but you're still as loyal as ever. Your fur may be a little whiter than it used to be, but you're still as lovable as ever. Your bladder may be a little shallower than it used to be, but your heart is still as big as it used to be. I know we may not have much more time together, but you will always be my best friend.

It's Okay by rubethemime, literature

Literature

It's Okay

It's okay if they mock you. If people try to break you with words. You're so much more than others' opinions of you. It's okay if money's tight. If simply providing for basic needs is a challenge. You're so much more than what you own. It's okay if you don't look the way you'd like. If you have a few more (or less) pounds than you'd like. You're so much more than your outward appearance. It's okay if you don't quite fit in. If more often than not you find yourself alone. You're so much more than how popular you are. You're a living, breathing, feeling human

Something's Changed by rubethemime, literature

Literature

Something's Changed

Something's changed about me. I don't know what, or how, But I am no longer the same. I am still uncertain, but no longer afraid. Still alone, but no longer as lonely. Still not quite happy, but no longer sad. Still flawed, but no longer ashamed. Still physically identical, but fundamentally different. Something's changed within me, and I think it's for the better.

Why Do You Care? by rubethemime, literature

Literature

Why Do You Care?

Why do you care, if they die young? You cannot save them, so why do you care? Why do you care, if they are raped and abused? You do not know them, so why do you care? Why do you care, if their world has been shattered? They are just Muslims, so why do you care? Why do you care, what happens to them? So what if they are starving, alone, hurting? These things happen, and you are powerless to prevent them. So don't worry about those people, they aren't even Americans. Your happiness is more important than their liv

My Bio

I'm not a mime; my name's just a little inside joke. Anyway, I'm not really an artist. I'm actually a psychology student, and my goal is to pursue a career in counseling and/or therapy. I absolutely love people (most of the time), even though I'm a bit of an introvert.
As far as the art thing goes, don't expect a whole bunch of entries from me. As I stated before I'm not much of an artist, i only created this account because I love this site. I write a little informal poetry here and there when I feel like it, but that's about it. Still, I'll try to submit a few things every now and then just so I feel like I'm contributing.

Current Residence: Elyria, Ohio
Favourite genre of music: Classic Rock and Grunge

Favourite Bands / Musical Artists

Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Metallica

Favourite Writers

J.R.R. Tolkien

Tools of the Trade

Caffeine: lots of caffeine.

Other Interests

psychology, nature, people, procrastination

Nein, nein, nein!

0 min read

I've decided I'm going to write all of my comments in German from now on. Unfortunately I only know a few German phrases, so my comments will be limited to, "Hallo, wie gehts," "wunderbar," and "Nein!" Oh, what a sad state of affairs!

Hey there, just letting people know I'm still alive. I'm probably not gonna post anything for a while cause I don't really feel much anymore, but I'm still lurking. I'll try to make my presence known with an odd comment hear or there, or maybe I'll just become a full-time troll. Rock on.

Hey there, just letting people know that I'm still alive. I know that I haven't been writing anything lately or doing much on DA, but I'll get back around to it soon.

Hi! I was actually feeling kinda down for a while, which is partly why it took me so long to respond to you, but now that I'm able to go to work again I'm doing better. How about you?
