Jesus, once I was talking to a schizophrenic and in the middle of the conversation he told me he sometimes felt like his veins were roads and his cells were cars and buses and I always wanted to turn this into art, the first one is the closest I've ever seen, so thank you for that!
Is OK they'll make a movie on a few years about how slaughtering the village gave the soldiers ptsd, so they had to drink a lot.
Load More Replies...This is one of those rare works of art that stopped me in my tracks. So powerful, so simple.
I stopped at this one for a minute, cause of the unspent cartridges. If it's not an oversight, by the artist, maybe that thing where guilty soldiers 'play the part' and he racked unspent rounds... Art is usually lost on me, but Jack boots and crying caught me for some reason

Load More Replies...Maybe OP is 14 and is expressing how they feel, maybe they are not but what does it matter? It's an expression anyway, and whether you like it or judge it harshly, at least this person has made an attempt at something. I think it belongs exactly where it is, right now. Because maybe someone needs to see it here. Maybe it will brighten someone else's day, or whatever, who knows. Even 14 year olds need mental health support.

i tried to take this seriously but i just couldn't- i felt like i was scrolling through r/im14andthisisdeep
These are actually brilliant - shows how our lives can be so different and that words can mean so many things.
