i looked at my reflection that was just a depiction or description of what i want to be. hanging in the glass pane smiling away at the image she was so proud to see/ if this is me, then who am i or is that a question to be asked? I looked at my inflection that was nothing more or less than a deflection of who i am inside. tapping glass scratching the pain away, but i wince. does she see me as nothing more than an imperfection? i can only ask she no longer smiles as she looks through this fragmented memory that has lost its sheen. but i am not ashamed, for what i see is an image of playful vitality/mentality not held by those who claw away at the frame of this elegant mirror that is me she no longer hides the sides of her that now lie fragmented like my soul trapped by this turmoil left to weep. But for what? Does she believe that i can no longer hear the words of those that eat the left-overs of my being till we are no longer me

Yes constrict my soft heart till it has been reduce to something that would in the end have no use being inside such a methodic kit whose switch can flip at any tick of the preverbally clock that counts down the fleeting seconds till sudden madness beckons me to the diner table to partake in the cake that never was there.

UPDATE All Deviations Are Opted Out of AI Datasets
UPDATE: We heard the community feedback, and now all deviations are automatically labeled as NOT authorized for use in AI datasets. AI generators were trained using datasets collected from the open web. This includes content from creator platforms like DeviantArt, Pinterest, Twitter, and more. This was done without DeviantArt's permission and without your permission. To help prevent your work from being used by third party AI datasets without your consent, we implemented a flag to tell AI datasets not to use your art. All deviations on the platform are not authorized for inclusion in third-party datasets used to train artificial-intelligence models — unless you choose to opt in. DeviantArt has introduced the noai and noimageai directives to unambiguously communicate absence of such authorization. When an artist declares that their content may not be used as input to AI models, an HTML tag with the noimageai directive is placed on the page and an HTTP header with the noai directive
'Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the site
Ol' Santa was drawing
And had been all night.
His layers were locked
In his drawing software
In hopes that some edits
Soon would be there.
"How to draw hands?"
Searched old Santa Claus.
And flipping the image
Just showed even more flaws.
Poor Santa clicked "Watch"
On DeviantArt.
Half to distract,
Half to inspire a jumpstart.
His elves were all posting
About some new meme.
"Draw This Again!" It exclaimed.
"It'll help your esteem!"
So Santa searched back
On his jolly Profile
To his much-older works,
And began to compile.
A back-to-back look
From one year ago,
Then two, then five.

what i've done is unforgivable
to the miserable lives that have toiled
till spoiled like rotten fruit that was thrown
from their throne and to the waste
with such haste that their gifts were
not truly utilized.
but he who saw me as favorable
a friend obtainable through words
of hope and courage that i now flourish
as the dragon i am and not that of which
like a flip of a switch that i was
because my heart was not lost to the evil
as it was to the dark
for darkness is not evil as light is not good
as one would think to rethink their position
or their mission to vanquish something
that is merely misunderstood, so though my
