Grim InsecuritiesSlowly the depression is fought from my body
Gradually I begin to feel lighter, stronger, happier
The depression finally disappears
But something remains
Something persists
Clinging to my happiness
Trying to squeeze it away
This feeling of insecurity remains behind
Lapsing back to depression
Elation fighting to stay
At every chance insecurities bite at its hands
Trying everything to make me lose my joy
That same happiness that keeps me sane
But every day that elation strengthens its grip
Slowly those insecurities leave me
That nagging creature goes the way of depression and despair

Dark Demons and DespairMy own dark demons
Grasping at my feet
Always dragging me down
Into this deep despair
I've come to know all too well

That suffocating dark mist
Always returning to smother me
It fills my heart with pain
And my eyes with tears

It's all so familiar
This hopelessness I feel
This same depression
Consuming me again and again

Those dark demons
Refusing to let go
Refusing to loosen their grip
Never leaving me alone
They will always be there
Till the day I die

Surrender to the lightLiberate
Free me
From this pain
That has become me
Depression no longer defining
The person that I am
Looking at the world in a new way
No longer seeing darkness and hatred
Now seeing light and love
Wounds heal
Scars fade
The past is lost
Retreating from the darkness
From which it was born
Surrendering to the coming light

Times GoneThe steam rushes from your mouth
With the softest of a hiss
I can't believe I'm here
Held by an angel

My shivers fall away
As you take my hand into yours
So new to me…
These emotions filling me

Snow everywhere
Everything is so serene
As I sit oblivious
Staring into your eyes

A soft wind kisses our cheeks
A lock of hair falls into your face
I reach out with shaking hand to push it away
You look up at me and smile

Your smile could melt icebergs
Your eyes deeper then the deepest of oceans
Your skin softer than the petal of a rose
Your beauty more than can be dreamed

Deferred Regrets

Flying free
Removed from this world
No longer seeing what I once saw
I see the pain, I see the death
It's all so senseless
But then I see what matter
I see the love
the hugs
the kisses
I see all the things I lost
When I pulled that trigger
If I could take it back I would
But It's too late for that now
I've already made the mistake
Now I'll never know how it feels
I did what felt right
Now I realize it was dumb
But it's too late for that now
If only I'd seen what I'd be missing
Before I'd done something so selfish
If only I'd been more loved
If only I hadn't been ridiculed
I guess it's too late now...

Broken Smiles

Your smiles once lit up my day
Your kind words made the pain go away
Now that's all gone and dead
Now when I see you all I feel is dread
Where that warm feeling once filled me
Now is where the depression consumes
Eating through my heart and soul
Leaving nothing but skin and bones

Those smiles used to be so contagious
Everytime I saw you I couldn't help but grin
Now all I can do is try not to cry
Things arn't what they once were
Times have changed so much
and I truly hate every minute of it

*goldenSalamander Apr 8, 2008 Professional Traditional Artist

cool, you're a professional.........nice placement of him in relationship to the flag poles and the domes behind him.......the wind adds an element of interest and excitement/action to it and plays up well the personality coming through in his stance and expression..........

~wolf02 Apr 8, 2008 Professional Photographer

well in retrospect, I'm only half a professional...I don't think I would consider myself a true professional until I get something published

thanks tons!

*goldenSalamander Apr 9, 2008 Professional Traditional Artist

em, I understand about the professional thing.......I won't consider myself an illustrator, until or unless I start having commissions by multiple magazine and book directors..........but I think you can say you're on your way.........after all any trip requires you to take a single step to begin it

~wolf02 Apr 9, 2008 Professional Photographer

hahaha getting all deep again

*goldenSalamander Apr 9, 2008 Professional Traditional Artist

hmm, I WAS always interested in Philosophy........and made an A in it in college. The male chauvinist prof for the class was soooooo surprised I was doing so well. HE said women didn't usually do as well in philosophy as men! Hmph! Growl, growl, grumble, grumble...............

It's so patriotic, lolol.

Who is that?

The movement with the wind and everything is really nice.

I love outdoor shots, the lighting and atmosphere are just so nice.

~wolf02 Apr 8, 2008 Professional Photographer

haha I know, I kept telling him if he ran for governor he could use the shot!

Well my friend is a professional photographer (weddings, senior pictures, etc...) and he asked me to come along and help him out. He was doing senior pictures for this guy, and I got paid as well, whiiiiiiiiiich means I'm a pro! lol
