You Can't Stop Me!
By Briton Trombetta

You can't stop me from what I want to do.
You can't stop me from what I think is true.
You can't save me from myself.
You always try to save me now and again
But you never succeed.
You need to leave me alone for now.
You can't save me, you can't stop me
You can't wake me from my nightmares.
You can only watch my pain
As I'm calling out your name.
As the darkness consumes me.
As I try to stop the sadness,
And it falls down like rain,
It causes me pain.
As I slowly go insane
I don't try to fight it.
I welcome it to stay.
'Cause it causes me pain and it gets
Worse and worse each day.
It won't go away.
It's come here to stay.
I will stop the pain
With a bullet through my brain.

The Hurt, the Pain, the Sadness

Somehow they all seem to correspond with each other.

The pain you go through,

The hurt you feel,

The sadness is just all of them put together.

You go through it every day,

You feel it ever day,

Till you just don’t want to be here anymore.

The Hurt, the Pain, the Sadness

That people see everyday.

You try to block them away but it never works.

The feeling that nobody likes you,

That you’re no longer welcome here.

How to Draw
by Sarah Fuller

The Gentle vs. the Violent

Find a good straight pencil, or pistol

Check for strong wood grain, or accurate aim

Be sure the eraser is nice, or sights precise

Carefully sharpen, or shine

Make certain the point is tough, or barrel is not rough

Find a piece of parchment, or a projectile

Blow it, or load it

Grip the galena, or grasp the grip

DRAW!
