This poem describes me completely. I have a strange obsession with sugar, and... I don't need to explain the rest.((NOTE: I didn't write this poem. This was just a piece of typography. All credit to the original author.

this poem was originally meant to be funny 'the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head' wasn't quite expecting such a sad turn at the end...

And I needed that from you, why? I realize she never said it was hers. I didn't accuse her of that.

actually, its meant for people to post any art... users can post anything.. fan art, memes anything they choose.... there's really no limitations or restrictions on it... if they like a quote or something and creatively display it there's nothing wrong with it.... people do it all the time

Section 'respect your fellow artist' of the dA etiquette policy states:
"As a vibrant and growing art community deviantART welcomes all kinds of original artworks; but we MUST insist that the artwork which you submit be your own original works.
Your deviations must be your own original creations and you may only use resources which are considered legitimate and legal. Submissions which make use of works without proper permission or licensing by the original author will be removed as they come to the attention of the staff. This policy applies to all Deviation submissions, Scrapbook entries, and the preview images used for written submissions."
So there.
Also, it's not okay if she uses someones literature and writes it out in colorful ink. It is stealing work. She didn't even CREDIT the original artist.
How can you praise an art thief? It just blows my mind...

I have to agree with you my friend, if you see something amazing then you can put it in a journal with a link to where you found it. Then the original artist at least gets the attention it deserves, if you cannot find the artist, put the link to where you found it and see if anybody else knows the original writer. You should however, as you have stated, upload it is a deviation.

Short, sweet, and to the point. I really like your spin on the traditional "roses are red, violets are blue." It says a lot without using too many words - a skill, unfortunately, that I lack. Ah, well. Also, the parchment that you used for the poem is pretty slick. Nice texture and lighting.
Looking at the last line... You have my condolences. I hope everything is alright. I can sympathize at that level, and I understand the pain. I don't know if you use poetry like me as a way to vent or cope, but regardless this is really well done. Seriously, though, I hope that everything has improved and gotten better for you. If not, well, keep your chin up. Thing do turn around eventually. c:
I've got to honest - I've read some of the other comments left by other deviants, and I'm really disappointed. "Dim and suicidal"? "Your problem, not mine"? Seriously, guys? This is someone expressing how she feels - openly sharing her pain - and yet so many people are openly belittling her for it. So what if you're entitled to your own opinion? There's no need to be rude about it. :/ (Pardon my annoyed rant. I can't stand it when people confuse "constructive criticism" with "flagrant rudeness.")
By I digress. Thanks for submitting this! Oh, and you're not alone - sugar junkies unite! :3

I applaud to you. Really. I'm only TWELVE, and some of these comments have really put me down. I have a medical condition, which makes me do these... harmful things. Your comment really brightened up my day. Thank you!

Wisecrack-Idiots In reply to anonymousnekodos [2012-11-22 01:57:15 +0000 UTC]
Aww, I'm flattered. But really, kid, I'm not much to applaud. I just don't like seeing people express themselves and open up to the world, only to be bashed for it. Some of the comments people have been leaving are truly rude. Really, I get it, there haven been literally dozens of variations of this poem. But they're overlooking the driving force behind your personal interpretation and portrayal of the lines - the pain. "Originality" my ass. If people are going to fault you for and complain about "originality," then we may as well all be paying royalties to Shakespeare, 'cause there wouldn't be a single idea out there that the man hadn't done centuries ago.
Ah, sorry, I got off track. I just can't condone any of those negative comments criticizing how "original" or "unoriginal" your poem is when that isn't the point of the poem. (That, and their barbed remarks are completely uncalled for.)
I am glad, however, that I made you feel better. I know comments like those sting, but they're not important. Words only carry weight if you let them, so try to ignore them and think about the people who are trying to care and understand. Like me. And although that sounds kinda cliche/weird, especially coming from a complete stranger on the Internet, I do mean it.
I'm eighteen and I'm still struggling with my own problems and past trauma. Two suicide attempts and anorexia, for which I was hospitalized. I don't know much I can relate to your medical condition in that regard, but I promise that it does get better. By the way, if you'd like, you're always more than welcome to shoot me a private message or whatever if you want to talk. Sometimes venting helps, and knowing that there's always someone there to listen. c: If not, then just keep writing - do whatever it is that helps you cope and stay strong.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you in the past, but one thing that you do not seem to understand is that people aren't critizing the fact that it is unoriginal, but the fact that it was written by another and she (at first) uploaded it without even giving credit to the original writer. Luckily she now has changed that so I guess most people will be content now. You are correct that some have been rather rude

Wisecrack-Idiots In reply to Calmaffine [2012-11-22 23:53:27 +0000 UTC]
Yeah...I, uh actually didn't realize that the poem wasn't entirely hers until I looked up the original version. So I wholeheartedly apologize for my abrupt assumption, and I am glad that she gave due credit to the original author. Most of my frustration was due to the uncalled for rudeness of a few people, but otherwise I'm completely willing to bow out to the back of the room and say sorry for my overlook.
Thanks for the sympathies. c: Thankfully it's all water under the bridge now, and I can learn from what happened to me. In my opinion, no tragedy is a tragedy if you can learn something or take something positive away from it. In my case, I've been able to speak to middleschoolers and highschoolers as a guest speaker and survivor, so all's well that ends well, right?

Yes, some people are rather rude, and to be quite honest I can understand that they would be angry, however some are just acting a little immature.
I suppose you are correct and I hope you are better now.
