What Classifies Selfishness?
What classifies selfishness?
Well, if I hurt others, I hurt myself
And I don't want to be hurt
So it is selfish to be that way...
Is it selfish, since it is something I WANT to avoid?
Then there are the words I write, that I want people to hear
Am I selfish to WANT to be heard?
Though I will say, selfishness is like sugar
There's the good kind, then there's the bad
Now, which am I then?
the good kind or the bad
.....wait, or is it....
I'm just afraid?...
Afraid to hurt
Because I'm afraid to be hurt
Because I can't take anymore pain
Afraid I'll never be heard
Afraid I'll never amount to anything
Afraid those who look down on me will sco
To understand one's pain
I try so hard to do
To write words that mean something
I try there too
I try to please
It is my nature
Because I don't want to hurt others
But is this trying all for nothing?
It feels that way so often
I try to please myself
I try to please my family
I try to please so many
But who am I fooling?
I'm not trying for nothing
Or is that just me bashing
Myself,
Because it feels like I haven't accomplished anything?
Hello everyone, sorry I've been so inactive. I may stay that way for a while longer though cuz school is dominating my life for the time being uuuuhg --- My username is based off of a joke. Yes I realize Compton is an infamous town in LA (or may be most well known as, though I do know there are plenty of towns named Compton), however I'm not from there nor do I correlate with any "stereotypes" you may associate with said town. My last name is Compton which may give you a little more info on how my username is from a joke. --- I'm never sure what to say(type?) to people when they reply to me or comment on my art or page. So I'm sorry if I don't reply or it takes a long time OTL I just want to give you all proper and sincere replies, but I'm sorry if they don't seem to be, I tried ;-;
I ran across one of yummei's journals today that I really loved. It has to do with you as an artist and having respect for yourself. Well, I don't know how to motivate you guys to go see it except tell you that you should check it out. So go! ~runplz (https://www.deviantart.com/runplz)

Also, sorry I've been so inactive, school dominates my life once again. I probably won't be posting on here too much.
Bye Bye until then

Sorry for scanning so many deviations all at once (it's just, I- I finally got the computer ~craiplz (https://www.deviantart.com/craiplz) ) anyway, just got back from my trip (yep went on another one ^w^ ) I gots to go to the beach (hoorah \^w^/ ), it was foggy and around 60-70 degrees F the whole time I was there so it was pretty cold, since it's been like REALLY hot where I live during the summer, but it was really nice to escape the heat and go to the beach aswell ^v^
Random note: For the past hour I have been singing in my head "starships are meant to fly" (and only that part of the song) but I just realized I've actually been singing in my head "starfish are meant to
