ADDI was I born with ADD.
The doctor said I was not going to be the smartest cookie in the cookie jar.
Not knowing how to do things properly.
Taking pills, to keep you focus.
What is ADD?
To me its, a gift.
To others its just a mental retardation problem.
Others may not have ADD.
But I have it.
Proof can be shown.
Even tho I don't look it.
I am in grade 12.
Finishing school with a diploma.
Going to college to become a video game designer.
I have found my one true calling,
Something that'll show the world
I am not a retard, I am like everybody else.
I was born with ADD,
And thanks to god
I have found my path through life.

Silence I + IISilence

I.
There is a stillness in me
like the calm before a storm,
only the storm never comes.
The grey sky sprinkles--
nothing comes.
I thought I would feel sadness,
like waves crashing down--
I feel nothing at all.
I am a silent sea
unflustered by the wind--
I am nothing at all--
nothing ever comes.

II.
There is a sadness in me
like the flowing of a river,
quiet but never ceasing.
The water trickles by--
it is always there.
I thought I would feel pain,
like a violent storm--
I barely feel at all.
I am an endless sea
filled with silent agony--
I am nothing at all--
but it is always there.

The woman reminds me of the poem "Porphyria's Lover" by Robert Browning.

This looks awesome! *thumbs up* it almost seems as if it's an opened window to another world XD

~Razarelie Jun 19, 2007

_{I have to say, good choice to use monotone, it works much better with the concept than a vibrant piece would have. It has almost a René Magritte feel to it. Well done}

The world is always different through the window. Very impressive work. The b/w contrast suites perfectly. Excellent surrealism indeed, you have captured such a great atmosphere. Again another image which suites the quote supplied.
