Submition Rules

Alright, now that the group has a few members (thank you all for joining) submitting may come underway. But of course, there are rules to do so.

:bulletblack: ALL pieces submitted must meet the criteria that struggle can be overcome. An example of this could be writing about a hard time in your life but looking past it. It can be reflective piece on the different you that you once were. It can be a photograph of turning your back on a knife, or alcohol. If you're not sure about submission, you can submit it anyways, and it will be subject to review and if it is not accepted we will tell you why not.

:bulletblack: All pieces must be submitted to the correct folders (i.e a photography must be submitted to either 'Featured,' 'Critique Request,' or 'Photography'). Please, please, do not submit a digital art piece into photography or literature. If you have anymore suggestions for folders, please leave a comment on the group's profile.

:bulletblack: You may only submit two pieces a day, so choose wisely.

:bulletblack: In the 'Critique Request' folder, you do not need a premium membership to take part. All you need to do is submit your pieces of art there. Memebers of this group can go there and critique it through comments. If you decide to critique a piece of art please state that you are critiquing it. I will personally critique a majority of the pieces submitted there to help all members become better artists. Also, when giving critiques, unless quoting the author, profanity is unnecessary and unwelcome. If a memeber is harsh towards a critique and uses profanity, pleases inform one of the adminstrators of the group and one of us will take care of it.

Group Info

The pain we go throughThe pain it hurt
It makes me bleed
It makes me happy

They say that people choose to avoid it
To hide it
or make it

People receive pain
emotional
physical
spiritual

Emotional pain you count on friends
Support is what you seek
Understanding is what you want
Sympathy is what you crave

Spiritual pain
you seek out god
a deity of a sort
hoping that they can help you
save you
bring you into light

Physical pain
you take it
you give it
deal with it
Crying your eyes out
and people will swarm to you
seeking whatever you please
following your every whim

Play the game that you want
take things how you want
control others if The pain we go through by ~doomedlama

Dont ForgetDon`t forget
the soul of
a loved one
for if you do
it`ll haunt
you for the
rest of
your life
forgetting their
soul is
like forgetting
your love
for that person
like forgetting
to breathe
and forgetting
your own name
forgetting their soul
is like forgetting
all the time
you spent
with that very
very special

Pain in tearsthe pain builds up inside
looking for away to get out
not wanting to get violent
not wanting to hurt loved ones
it slowly finds away
in the form of tears
tears that aren`t made of joy
or laughter
they are tears that are made of
the pain that finds it way
deep inside of the heart
that hides there so no one
can see it
and then lets loose
when the time is right
the tears are the sign
that we are all humanPain in tears by ~GayBarIsSexy

Because of himLocked in a room so dark,
Not allowed to the park,
Curled up in a corner alone,
Not allowed to leave my zone.

I stare with fear at the door,
Knowing he will want some more,
All the bruises cuts and scars,
Maybe one day I'll be with the stars.

Torn clothes don't even fit,
Arms are red with a new slit,
Neck is black and blue again,
He stabbed me with a ball point pen.

He holds me up against the wall,
Shouts and screams at me not to call,
Holds high in the air by my neck,
Says I'm a failure such a wreck.

Kicks me in the stomach hard,
Too weak to stand on guard,
Believe it or not I was only three,
Too sick and dizzy hard to seeBecause of him by ~suteishiijein-poetry

My Guardian AngelThe girl, who could have won the happiest and most carefree person award, didn't seem the same as she walked along the raging river. The dark clouds above her rumbled softly as a light rain started covering the land. She didn't smile anymore. She didn't talk. She didn't do anything. She had managed to go through abuse and still give everyone a smile, assuring everyone that she was alright. She had lived through tough times. A dysfunctional family, back-stabbing friends, and an abusive boyfriend. Al that could lead her to a breaking point. But thats not what brought her to this point. She managed to live with, doing very little about it. But sMy Guardian Angel by ~Asian-Faerie

Excuse.I try to fight away all of my tears,
I try my hardest to hold on,
I try to make you love me again,
I try my best                                                     not to.

My minds a playing record,
On those times you                                           hit me,
On those times you made me scream,
On those times you left us alone.

I only ask one thing of you father,
To let me live my life,
I dont wat youre money to do the things           you want,
I want to live the way i should have years ago.

Dad i want you                                                    to get help,
I need my father to be strong,
You're ill and i forExcuse. by ~chelseawood

Features and News

:iconsave-my-soul93:

Hello all,

DisabilityIsAbility is now featuring news articles! If you have contributed to this group, you have a chance of getting your piece featured.

How often will there be features?
That is undetermined at the moment, because we have so few people who submit. The more submissions we get, the more features we will give.

How big is my chance of being featured?
You have a strong chance of being featured as long as you follow the guidelines for submiting your piece. The guidlines can be found on DisabiltiyIsAbility's profile page.

What do you feature?
We feature pieces submited to the group that follow the rules. If you submit a visual art piece we will describe why it is apart of the group. For literature, we will just feature your piece without a description.

Who can get featured?
Any member of DisabilityIsAbility who participates in submision can be featured.

I hope this encourages you all to submit more work. The first featured article can be found here: [link]

Honestly I have no way of contacting her. From what I have been told and informed of by her she is fine and just dealing with some changes that make DeviantArt a hard commitment to keep.

Hey Marisa i was wondering. Why not make a chat room for our group. This way members will be able to chat more openly. Just an idea >.<
