Description It begins with a dark glowing ember,
something black burning it's way out of me.
Searing the flesh,
pain is the only thing I feel,
scars all I see.

Oh no the fire's burning my insides again,
what can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason leaving only ashes left
you will catch me for regretting my decision,
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes.

I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best in me,
but I say, I don't want to believe.
what i see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more (tell you more)
about the lies I lead.

That is how I choose to douce the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shake me to the bone
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight.

But after this I feel as empty as the night before,
feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more.
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it.

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes


I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best of me,
What I see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more, tell you more,
about the lies I lead.

Calling, calling out.
The darkest reaches of my soul,
are riddled with self-doubt.
Crawling, crawling out,
my will to fight will more than suffice,
when others would lay down.

It's only as dark as you make it.

I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best of me,
but I say, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more, tell you more
about the lies I lead.

------------------------

From a song I heard- Slow Burn by Atreyu

If you wanna hear its here

It kinda reminded me of Laura in a way.

Even though she appears to be content and likewise-she's not. Laura actually suffers within herself. She doesnt like to show weakness-so she bottles it up inside. I guess thats why she's a bit lethargic and serious.

Well-shes a lonley type. She doesnt have friends back home, and ever since she was little she believed no one cared about her. She had a friend too, but he left on a Journey. Since then-even though she doesnt believe it-she is lonley and all her botteled up emotions seem to crush her from the inside.

On the side note-this only took me like an hour X3-and the song from me iPod inspired me-actually another did-but the song "countinued" my motivation.

Lol-used charcoal with a graphic pencil (yellow number 2).

Hopefully some person could finally release her from her own prison inside.




Laura ish to ME!!!!

An poignant and touching reveal. I didn't know Laura had this much trouble going on in her. At the start of the comic Laura seemed happy, determined and content with how things were going for her... at least by her standards considering what happened later to her.

Buneary In reply to StarOblivion [2008-08-30 04:19:34 +0000 UTC]

Ah well, she tries to look optimistic around people because she doesn't like people to worry BP if she has problems she likes to work them out by herself, the thought of someone else helping her with her problems makes her nauseous Cx because, she thinks stuff like that is too mushy BD and it's something she isn't used to with her sisters and everything owo when she was younger and tried asking for help they'd tell her they were busy, so she'd always do things by herself, she'd ask her pokemon for advice though o3o

this is awesome, and kinda reminds me of the plusle minun thingy you did
they're so saaddd....*snifle*
great job on the background and hair and shading

StarOblivion In reply to chibi-mango [2008-08-28 20:57:37 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou-but I think its different from the Plusle and Minun thing actually...

Thats just Laura right now-a depressed female no? But who knows if she'll change.

chibi-mango In reply to StarOblivion [2008-08-28 21:04:14 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i know it's kinda diff...but there's still hope for both at least^^
i guess, if she changes or not is up to you, you influence her the most...and whatever you tell her, maybe keeping her akward personality will help the manga....might not be good for her though^^

StarOblivion In reply to chibi-mango [2008-08-29 21:31:29 +0000 UTC]

Lol its her fault for not letting go of her own troubles B3. Maybe some characters have to influence her to change-who knows?
