"I Will Always Love You" by crazyamy93
If you want somebody to love you,
to protect you, to care for you,
you might forget how much energy you're
taking out of them. This poem proves that
everybody is weak at one point in their lives.

Maybe I Should PukeI feel strange.
Tiny nails and claws tickles my body and I twitch, and I flinch away.
I smile and I cry.
I live.
I feel strange.
Numb, but not quite.
Isn’t that strange?
I want to write something soft and nice and warm;
Full of something that everyone calls Love.
But all that comes out is pain and screams and tears;
Love but not really.
I feel so very strange, as I smile and cry;
Because I can’t quite feel anything and that is BAD, because humans are supposed to feel but I can’t I just can’t and what is wrong with me?
Depression is when a part in your brain has a hard time taking care of the positive.
Maybe mine simply can’t take care of anything at all;
Even my tears are fake, like liquid plastic dripping down and disappearing.
The horrible thing is that nothing is wrong.
They smile, they laugh, they encourage me.
Hug and cuddle and kisses and makes me smile.
And I just feel numb.
Am I living a lie?
“Maybe I Should Puke” by GemiDonnie
This poem is a heart wrenching, emotional
and poignant expression of difficulty and confusion.
Every line erupts and takes the reader on a
roller coaster they may find painfully familiar.

"Kiss Me Killer" by Charlene-Art
The mix of tension, action and twists
in this piece, coupled with a good use of
second-person, gives this story an unput-downable
quality that is hard to find.

"an obsession with oranges" by inediblecupcakes
What would you do if your daughter
disappointed you? An extreme yet absolutely
human look at what one pair of parents
do with their "failure".
Beautiful, touching and saddening.

Grossstadt BluesGroßstadt-Blues
Stehst einfach nur da,
ohne ein Wort zu sagen.
Ganz leise bricht dein Herz,
hörst es kaum noch schlagen.
Den Blick in die Ferne gerichtet,
versinkst du im Selbstmitleid.
Obwohl dir klar ist,
so kommt man nicht weit.
Den Horizont vor Augen,
das Leben im Rücken.
Das bunte Treiben der Großstadt,
kann dich nicht mehr entzücken.
Alles viel zu schnell,
für einen Träumer wie dich.
Viel zu schnell,
für einen Träumer wie mich.
"Grossstadt Blues" by thedaydreaminggirl
This is a beautiful German poem
that is filled with powerful emotions.
Life in large towns goes too fast, for dreamers.

Okay, here goes...
Many comments have been made, many people have hauled off and jumped and are now wondering what is really going on, many tears have been cried (at least by me cuz y'all--y'all are mean. Enough said about that, it doesn't matter. I wish everyone all of the best and more.
I would like to take a few minutes to say two things:
1) Many have come through DLD and been better in this literature community for it. Dedication and hard work helped forward their already progressing talent. Not me, not Will, not Lili or any other running administrator--just dedication and hard work. We have present and former hats, badges and most of all the owners of co
Will's Final Words
Final Words
It is with a hesitant mind and a bloated heart that I write this. DailyLitDeviations (https://www.deviantart.com/dailylitdeviations) was something that was formed out of frustration and anger. I suppose I am not surprised to see it go out that way. A young man named Brandon and I were complaining in a private chat room about how little literature was featured on dA and that we were tired of it. We both wrote several emails to the staff only to be ignored like so many quality artists out there. Eventually we knew that we had to do something or explode from frustration. And so DLD was born. I stayed up for 5 or 7 days straight. My wife hated me and my phone bill went throug
New Information...
It seems that all of you in need of seeing this tradition go on can be satisfied. I would direct you to the account of TheseKrimzonFlames (https://www.deviantart.com/thesekrimzonflames) where you will find links to a new account where his version of DLD will go on in a new and different form.
I am awaiting a journal entry from VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart) to post here with his thoughts on our closing of this particular project. It will be posted soonest.
Few know of my own love and time put into this project because few worked night and day alongside me to take care of everything possible from general administration duties to contests, to answering 100s of messages a day and soliciting everywhere p
Everyone, please hold on...
Please be advised that we are in the process of deciding what and how to do with this account by way of moving on--by "we" I mean myself, VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart), and various seniors/members that are interested in sticking with something DLD or DLD-like. Everyone's responses are being taken into consideration--even the personal attacks made on me are valued opinions. This account owns a number of points and I am considering doling them out to a group of people who would like to start-up a new group in the same vein. A group of people who are concerned with the work of the literature community and not the kudos that go with serving the community. I ha
