INK

INTO

In the quiet of my inner space,
I dip my pen into the ink,
And bring to life a scene or face,
Drawing stories with each distinct link.

Joshua Tree: Artwork & Poem

Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee

Future worries

What are you most worried about for the future?

I am not going to lie and say that I don’t have any fears for the future because I have many. One of the main ones is that I will end up alone without someone by my side to encourage me and help me navigate through life.

The thought of being alone can be daunting, especially when considering the uncertainties and difficulties that life may present. Having a partner, friend, or family member to lean on during tough times can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance. Whether it’s for emotional support, practical advice, or simply having someone to share experiences with, the presence of a supportive companion can make a significant difference.

I am working on this and I will continue to work on this fear.

Meeting Lost

There once was a time of routine,

Where attending meant being seen.

But in this new age,

We sit on a virtual stage,

With faces on screens that are clean.

No longer do we gather in crowds,

Or walk through busy city ploughed.

Our meetings are online,

A new way to align,

But oh, how we miss the real sounds.

We now click the link to attend,

A virtual world we must blend.

No handshakes or hugs,

Just tiny camera shrugs,

Oh, how we long for the end.

We see each other through pixels,

But our connection is still critical.

Though it may not feel right,

It’s our reality in sight,

As we navigate this new ritual.

So let’s raise a glass to the screen,

For it’s the only way we can convene.

But soon we’ll reunite,

In person, it’ll be right,

Until then, virtual will reign supreme.

Grimm Reaper: Artwork and Poem

The Grim Reaper is a sight to see,
With cloak and scythe, as tall as can be.
He roams around with a wicked grin,
But don’t worry, he’s just here to win!

With a laugh that sends shivers down your spine,
He’s not as scary as he seems, most of the time.
So if you meet him, don’t let out a peep,
He’s just doing his job, so let him reap!

I Love Me By Demi Lovato

I Love Me

Song by

Demi Lovato

This is one of my favorite songs. It embodies self love and loving your self for who you are and not what others want you to be.

I have used this song to help me when I am feeling low about myself and to make sure that I have to encourace myself that “I am a 10 even if I forget it.”

Commentary

Goodbye June, Hello July!

The month of June flew by, and now we’re in our second month of summer. I didn’t get to everything I wanted to do in June, but I have to make sure to do it in July. I’ve already signed up for a paint night, and I’m looking forward to it. One thing I need to make sure to do is to swim. I haven’t been in a pool or gone to the beach yet. Shame on me, just kidding! I plan on rectifying that this month.

I’m also going to try something new this month. I’m going to post a song every Monday that helps motivate me when I’m having doubts. I hope you enjoy it.

DRAW

DRAWN

In the stillness of the night, dreams draw near,
In the drawer of the mind, memories appear.
Sketches of the past, intricately drawn,
In the heart’s hidden drawer, emotions spawn.

A great teacher is like sunshine, warming the hearts and minds of their students. They inspire a love for learning in even the most disengaged students and are friendly, approachable, and passionate about teaching. They are adaptable, patient, and good listeners, always seeking to improve themselves.

Another Hulk Artwork

I was taking a look at the post I made, and I remember that I had drawn another Hulk before, so I have decided to post it here. I absolutely love how this one turned out, especially the eyes. The shading and detailing really bring out the intensity and power of the character. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do!

PACT

Dog Pact

There was a pack of friendly dogs,
Whose loyalty was unmatched in their logs,
They made a pact to return all the gold,
That the silly cats stole, brazen and bold,
From the pockets of their owners, in their sly, sneaky scrolls.

Wear one Outfit

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

If I were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, it would be a comfortable pair of jeans, a soft and cozy t-shirt, and a stylish but casual jacket. This outfit is versatile, suitable for various occasions, and most importantly, it makes me feel confident and at ease.

Wasted Time

How do you waste the most time every day?

I think the biggest time waster for me every day is getting caught up in social media scrolling. It’s so easy to lose track of time while mindlessly browsing through posts and updates. I’m trying to be more mindful of how I spend my time and limit my social media use to designated periods throughout the day.

ELIMINATE
CONQUER
OVERCOME

To overcome social anxiety
Is a challenge,
That needs not to be conquered or eliminated.
For anxiety is not all bad;
It can be your friend,
When it does not go overboard.

Embrace the flutter of the heart,
The cautious thoughts before you start,
For in these moments, you will find,
Strength and courage in your mind.

Acknowledge anxiety’s gentle hand,
As it guides you through this unknown land.
But remember, you hold the key,
To keep anxiety where it should be.

-M.A.D.
