Ken - To Cry Without Sound... by Yoikawa

Ken - To Cry Without Sound...

Description

I drew this after rewatching my Digimon tapes I recorded when I was 12. His pose reminded me of me when I was lying in the school's sick room. I was on my stomach, dizzy, with one of my arms hanging over the edge. (And I just realized I drew this picture in reverse. *smacks forehead*) What landed me there? It's a pretty long story but if you're curious, read on...

In real life I cannot run. Period. You see, I have a pinched nerve in my lower back as a result of an injury. Here's the painful story: I fell face first down the stairs a few years ago. (I'm so clumsy. =.-') I think I accidently overshot the first step, and I couldn't regain my footing. But now that I think about it, I was told I went and accidently propelled myself higher when I made contact with one of the steps, and happened to be outstretching my leg. It's what made my nerve pinch! X(

At least I didn't go into a coma when I hit the floor finally. Heck, I was concious the entire time! The teachers crowded around me like vultures, and I was carried to the school nurse for my bleeding nose, and aching back. And it's not as bad as you think. There were only thirty steps on those stairs. *quiet* I'm getting butterflies in my stomach just remembering.

Ye-ouch o.o Poor you Yoikawa-san! Ack>.< It reminds me of my bloody elbow.
About when I was young(Forgot how old) someone grabbed me by the hands and pulled me up, causing the small muscles that hold your joint and bone to stay together in my arm to break in my left arm.
And now I'm still affected by all of that >.< Before that I already dislocated my arm during vacation. (Two reason why I have random pain in my arm)
Anyways..Sorry for rambling this much ^_^;;

Good on you! ^^ Thou hast redeemed thyself, worthy friend! Now I must stop talking in Old English... *sweat* I prefer chocolate! :D But I guess strawberry ain't bad... :P *gets hungry, gets up to find something from the fridge*

I was raised to be sensitive... I can't thank my mom enough! ^^

*light gleaming in background* And step back into the light I have.. I apologized earlier this morning! We celebrated with Dairy Queen sundaes! (But I paid.. ._.') Mmm, strawberry goodness. :3

Carmen_Takoshi on March 19, 2005, 8:16:23 AM

So...he was being sweet, was he? *tsk tsk* Yes, go apologize, Yoikawa! Redeem thyself, step back into the light!

Wow, that deep thought of yours made me cry! *cries* Heart-shaped tears...all men should be as sensitive as you! *goes off to find a handkerchief*

Yoikawa on March 18, 2005, 8:26:35 AM

*bites tongue* I think I should apologize to Mel for getting all mad at him. Remember when he gave me a piggy-back ride? I think he was only trying to help, because I was having a hard time walking after I was off the crutches... *goes off to find him*

Yoikawa on March 17, 2005, 11:52:47 AM

Let every fading sheen... be blanketed by my heart-shaped tears.

Carmen_Takoshi on March 17, 2005, 9:55:41 AM

Will you be the warm light to banish the unseeable darkness?

Carmen_Takoshi on March 17, 2005, 9:54:33 AM

And yes, I had one of my friends take my things and open doors, but that was only during school. >< The elevator was cheap and made me feel sick when it stopped. I think I would have preferred tackling the stairs! O.O And of course, oh sweet irony, my computer is located downstairs, ergo, DOWN THE STAIRS. Need I say more?

Carmen_Takoshi on March 17, 2005, 9:52:09 AM

Emotion is from the heart. It's something you feel with every ounce of yourself, and words is only one way to shape it into something that humans can see. ^^ Ahaha, I'm being deep again, aren't I? *shuffles shyly* And no, it was not cheesy. It's rational. But sometimes, it's best not to be rational and follow your heart instead.

Now that. THAT was cheesy. >< Aw, Ken... *pats him and hugs you for an emotional job well done*

Yoikawa on March 17, 2005, 1:06:48 AM

I wish I only had to be on crutches for two weeks.. I was stuck with them for five months. *twitches, remembering when I slipped on the wet floor in the hallway* Crutches have poor traction! O.O

You didn't have a teacher to hold your books and open the doors for you, or an elevator? (>< I'm beginning to sound mollycoddled...)

And, yeah. The world is a sad place. But why stare into the unseeable darkness when you can look into the warm light? .... That sounded so cheesy. *runs hands down face tormentedly* Why can I not write deep and emotional things? (Argh, gotta go. I'm sitting on an ice pack right now and I'm freezing! x.x)

Carmen_Takoshi on March 16, 2005, 9:33:25 AM

I can't believe so many people commented before I did! ><

Anyway...I love this pic so much! ^^ The title alone almost made me, yes, cry, but then the next page loaded and I was like "Wow!". The pose is just so significative and the intention powerful. Yes, I'm paraphrasing, but it's good paraphrasing!

Aw, poor Ken, though... *pats him* To live in a world where our cries do not reach even the kindest of ears; cruel providence, forsaken by creation and Man; let me cry, let me cry alone where no one can hear me...I cry without sound...please...let me cry...

The world is a sad place indeed. *sighs*

I tore the ligament in my right ankle last year. I slipped during gym class and had to go around in crutches for two weeks! *shivers at the unpleasant memories* Stairs and doors shall forever remain my sworn enemies...

Ouch that sounds excruciatingly painful! I'm very clumsy I trip over my feet and I've fallen down the stairs a few times! So sorry that happened and that's a great pic! ^^

ranamon93 on March 15, 2005, 6:24:49 AM

Nice pic, but i dont raelly now how it feels to have an broken or sprained anything, you see i havent had an injury in my whole live, ^-^ lucky me[no offense]

Hanyou_girl on March 15, 2005, 5:41:25 AM

-hugs back- It was sprang for like six weeks and then my dad finally got some ACE bandages to wrap it up in, but by then it was already healed. He's a blonde too, so...yeah. ^-^

TariTroi on March 15, 2005, 4:55:44 AM

THis is really cool!! I like it. You kinda remind me of me. I tripped down the stairs at least four times. It wasn't as bad as when I tripped in the mud and twisted my ankle. Didn't even go to the doctor. And then this other time i tripped and hit my hip on the parking lot side. I had a bruise for a month. And then i punched the tv and now my knuckle hurts sometimes. Then i smacked my hand on the side of the fridge. I'm accident prone. LOVE THE PICCY SO MUCH!!! I'm gonna add it to my favs.

Yoikawa on March 15, 2005, 2:22:24 AM

You sprained your arm once?! No, you poor thing! *hugs you*

Actually, I didn't feel much pain after I fell down the stairs... I was too dazed and confused to really notice. And I fell asleep (or maybe I passed out?) soon after I got to the sick room.

But at least I get to have massage therapy at least once every month now! :P Free Health Care. Wahoo!

Hanyou_girl on March 15, 2005, 1:48:02 AM

By the way that sounds painful!!! Ack! I couldn't stand the pain. The worst ingury that has ever happened to me was spranging my arm! I fell on the wet grass and landed on my arm! IT HURT!!! -tear-

Hanyou_girl on March 15, 2005, 1:46:00 AM

Very nice! Great picture!!! ^-^ I ahave no ideas for any pictures right now so... -shrugs- Oh well. Can't wait for your next pictures!!!!
