Dear person reading this,
You deserve a full life of happiness
You deserve to be surrounded by people
who love and treasure you
People who genuinely care for you
Some days will drag you down
but you deserve to be content
No matter what happened
No matter what others tell you
You are not your past
Your flaws do not define you
Live to express
not to impress
Just live
Go for it.
No matter how many weapons
we continue to use
No matter how many wars
we will start
No matter how many innocent people
have to die
The world can't live
without hope
Hope and love
So I will hope
and I will love
Till the world does change.
They always tell me
Today is a new day
But it seems like
the pain never fades away
I don't know why
there is only chaos in my mind
chased by memories
I wish not to see
Memories of you
Leaving us behind
This life continues
No..
My life continues
Yours did end
Hey friend, tell me
why did you jump?
Hey friend, tell me...
Hey.
It feels like a hole
in my little soul.
I'm sorry
I miss you
Rest in Peace
You shoot but cannot kill
The memory forever lives
You terrorise but cannot kill
Their memory and their strong will
Tunisia has awoken
Tunisia has spoken
Shocked by their situation
Calling for a revolution
Maybe I'm just a nobody
A nobody from Germany
Maybe I'm not over there
Not able to grasp the atmosphere
But I do understand
For what they fight
No triumph without loss
No victory without suffering
No freedom without sacrifice
There is to pay a price
...but it will be worth it
We believe in you, Tunisia
We are connected by the same sky
We will support you
We will not forget you
It seems like I’m not able
To find an explanation
For this sweet sensation
Floating through the air
It is just sometimes there
Sparkling in the dark
When I see you..
The darkness called my life
The routine of my day
It just fades away
Your voice, your touch, your smile
Somehow chasing it away
By siting next to me
Even though only for a while
Why don’t I tell you?
Why don’t I tell you
That I like you?
I like you.
Everytime I look at the mirror
I'm supposed to see my face
Instead I feel this terror
Seeing "attributes of my race"
Do you know this feels?
They keep starring at me
"Germany, your new home?
Are you fuckin' kidding?!
Just go back to Chinatown!"
Never stop insulting me
Tell me what's the big deal?
I'm designed in the East
Raised in the West
Am I a westernised Easterner
Or an easternised Westerner?
Before you reply
Don't even try
cause...
Germany, a part of me?
Unfortunately, here
I'm just a minority

Hey girl, do you know
How much you do glow?
Sitting there in the darkness
Believing you are all alone
But it is not over now
Only the sun goes down
Do you think that
your parents loved you?
Maybe not, but I do
Did they support you?
No, they did not.
It is a shame,
The tragedy’s name
Hey girl, I want to tell you
Your death made me cry
So tell me please
Why did it have to end?
Was it too much to pretend?
Hey girl, did you know
How much you do glow?
It is not over yet
Only the sun goes down
It starts rolling
It will never stop
Fix society. Please
We will try, you know?
Trying to fulfill
Your last will.
Rest in Peace, Leelah.
You were my star that in the dark glows
And my ocean that calmy flows
I chose you, trusted you out of a few
I was always there, only for you.
And now going through our memories
That is what I always do
'Cause that's all what you've left me
Just memories of you.
Dear unknown soldier,
I'm sorry to say
It's all the same
Nobody knows your name
You are just a statistic
A number to mention
During some political campaign
You are not seen as a human
Just as a toy.
I'm sorry to say
Your death hasn't made a change
You are unknown
Forgotten and dead
I'm sorry to say
Your death was maybe a waste.

Many of us — especially writers — find ourselves buried beneath a growing pile of books we’ve been meaning to read but haven’t been able to find the time. More depressing is the even longer list of book titles we know we need to read. The pile gets higher, the list gets longer every day. There’s always another seminal classic we haven’t gotten around to. It’s difficult to keep up, but as with any artistic medium, w

I wrote this for everyone and no one in particular.
On FB I do not know most of the people who add me but that is never a bad thing as it’s always good to make new friends.
For those I know I usually visit their wall whenever I feel like seeing what they are up to, I may not comment all that much
but that does not mean that I don’t care about my friends or that I have no interest following the progress of junior artists and colleagues.
The real reason I do not open the FB feed is because the large stream of junk information and Ads makes me cringe so hard I have to see a dentist.
What I cannot stand the most are those rando
Publishing Week
I'm so glad you're here. Because, as a poet and chapbook author, I get this question a lot. AND, since chapbooks are an important part of poetry publishing -- both in terms of what we consume as readers and what propels us forward as career poets -- any poet with publishing aspirations should know about them!
The Short Version:
A chapbook, sometimes referred to as a pamphlet, is like a mini collection of poetry. Usually between fifteen to thirty pages (though some folks say anything under 50 pages is a chapbook), these are like little samplers of a poet's work. Usually the chapbooks are pretty cheap, between $6 and $12, whic

•••
If the severely acne-scarred face and coarse exterior brought on by his alcoholic and depressed life was the book cover of his being, then Charles was the ultimate book that could not be judged by its cover.
The exquisite collection that was this everyman artist’s art consisted of thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels—mostly all wrenchingly autobiographical, mostly all about moments of epiphany and grace in an otherwise miserable and unhappy existence. The perfect explication of the common man's deepest truth; it's not easy to be here.

Big update! We've not actually had a full Literature "week" for PE in a long time, but we are starting to plan towards doing so this year, firstly a publishing week and then some future ideas. These articles no matter how old are still very useful, so please bookmark this and come back!
Over the past few years, projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate) has worked hard to provide educational articles for various art forms. Within literature, we've seen our fair share and we've used our own group CRLiterature (https://www.deviantart.com/crliterature) to manage these articles to ensure as much of the community can see them. However, sometimes we miss people and that's a shame because th

Today's Tutorial- Constructive Comments
What makes a good comment? Anyone know? A good comment is not a one line comment, or even a one word comment! Now, I'm not sayin to go into a full on critique, but try and give the most feedback you possibly can. In todays tutorial, I'm going to teach you how!
WWW, EBI
Have you ever heard of EBI and WWW? WWW stands for What Went Well. In a comment, it is often essential to use WWW. Example:
I really love the tone on the characters jacket.
EBI stands for Even Better If. In a comment, this element is pretty much ideal. Example:
Perhaps you could have added slightly more texture in the dogs fur, just to make it more realistic.

Hey everyone ^^"
I am very sorry that I have been offline for such a long time but after my final exams I had to study for some university entrance exams.
They didn't go so well for me so that I didn't get accepted in my favourite university. Well, on top of that I was not really satisfied with my final exam results but now I got over it.
I mean, tbf most of my classmates told me they would kill for those results so I am probably to ambitious ^^"
Anyway, I decided to go to another university and I will have to find an appartement till October but I think I will figure all that out.
Just wanted to tell you that I am back and I will try
Hey guys :)

My exams will be finished in the end of May so I then after all these exams I will be back on deviantart. Commenting,replying, etc.. I hope you can wait till then :)
I hope you all are having a nice week :)
Love, Mai x
