 This is an image I've composed using some of the photoshop techniques I've learned and something I wrote a while back.


Title: Treading Water

Can't seem to break away
from all these f**ked up things I feel

Can't seem to stop and say
that I'm the one to blame for this

Wish that I didn't feel this way
just want it all to go away

Never know just when to stop,
just when to leave it all alone

Never wanted to hurt you
only to help you see it all
just to show you how I feel

Never wanted to drag you down
down to the depths I'm in
just hoped to show you
show you that you could help me swim

I like the poem for sure. Nice PP work. I like that you are imaginative and don't worry about what others think. Keep it up.

Wow!! The Poem is really nice as well.... I like the picture ill pick on it first.. all i have to say is that blue thing in the alley way is kinda distracting. ButEvery thing else GREAT!! Love how the mood of the picture fit really well with the poem... VERY nice work!! I think the Words are positioned very well. I like it!

Beautifully done, Dylan! I love the poem. I really think it would be awesome if you could get Erick to put it to music too - what a collaboration that would be. The photography works very well with the words. I love the sliver of the alleyway - how narrow the passage is. It really emphasizes what the picture and words are trying to say.

Awesome man! I was writing the music in my head as I was reading. I got a melody and everything. KICK A$$!

i love the emotion, colour and words. i am not ofended by the one swear word as i see it relevant to the whole shot( i am also of the older generation) this geneartion is much more honest with themselves and what they feel. great job.

WoW! You wrote that?!? That's amazingly touching, beautifully written. It sounds like something I would write. Nice job. The POV and processing on the photo are awesome too.

I really like the picture and how you've processed it. The colors are beautiful, clear, and I like the texture you've put over it. A+ here. May I say that I wish you hadn't put the poem over it? It makes it hard to see the picture and hard to read the poem (which does match the mood of the picture). I'm also bothered by having the f-word jump out at me first thing, but then I'm of an older generation.
