#Insomnia-Artists

For art made by moonlight

Group Info

:bulletpurple: We are a group that welcomes all people suffering from insomnia for any reason, including night-time inspiration bursts.
Many of us get the creative juices flowing when the clock passes 1:00 AM.

Are you one of us? Then join!


:bulletpurple:The art uploaded here, is of any genre, any medium, but made at night!
If you find yourself in trouble by parents, roomies, neighbours, you can ask advice to the dear members of this group!

:bulletpurple:Main Entry: in·som·nia

- Pronunciation: \in-ˈsäm-nē-ə\
- Function: noun
- Etymology: Latin, from insomnis sleepless, from in- + somnus sleep — more at somnolent
- Date: circa 1623
- prolonged and usually abnormal inability to obtain adequate sleep

:bulletpurple: This a disorder which has many people in it's grasp. For some artists, inspiration would only come in the night.
And for those people this group exists.

We are not here to encourage insomnia, but to show what it can do, and discuss solutions and possable cures. Feel free to join if you have the same problem!

A Different Perspective I ask you how a knife feels as it digs into a man's heart.

Does it shy away from the pain it inflicts,

is it sickened by the sight of the blood?

Or does it long to sink deep into his chest,

down to the bone handled grip?

(You reply that it doesn't feel either way,

whether a knife wants it or not a man dies today.)

I ask you if your shoe is tired, for its growing old.

Does the pain of being crushed by your feet

take rest and resonate deep in its sole?

Or does it love the honor of being used by you,

and willing to keep making your footprints.

(You say it's meant to be stepped on, it's a shoe

it doesn't have feelings like me or you)A Different Perspective by ~LuckyClover38
Earths Still Broken Find your pathway through the silence
Feed the yearning, deathly silence
Make the nothing into something
Close your eyes and dream a new world

He who follows is far from broken
Fallen heroes, deadly choices
Golden guardsmen fade to nothing
Close your eyes and dream a new world

Growing unease fills the skyline
Heavens closing, fates are hanging
Kill the doubt within your mind now
Close your eyes and dream a new world

Fused together with fates untangled
Sanity long lost, lives degrading
Crack the surface and dare to speak up
Close your eyes and dream a new world

Our old world is still lost and broken
No repair work, it's still Earths Still Broken by *BellePetitSnow
Academics do not define intelligence Imagine this excruciatingly boring scenario:
the tick tock of the clock and study music
replays endlessly in the background of
solitary confinement, tinted brown and grey.
The music plays repeatedly, driving one to
a crazy and abnormal sense of utter bliss.
Books laid out, citing the notorious math rules -
sine, cosine and tangent, or as I like to call it
Silly oval-like hippopotamus (SOH)
Come around here! (CAH)
The obvious adventure (TOA)
The rules that bring an adolescent's minds
to a state of confusion and delirium, tucked
deep into the cortex of our brains used for
nothing except the storage of knowledge.

The thoughts Academics do not define intelligence by ~therealanonymous
The Great Drake He rose from the ground as the very earth split in a series of jagged scars
Molten lava would burst from these wounds, as his wings eclisped the shimmering stars...
The Great Drake Serogar, once laid to rest in the warm womb of Gaia
Had once again awakened, to discipline those who had earned his ire.

Humans and Dragons were killing each other, senselessly bathing in the coldest of blood
Yet all their efforts amounted to nothing and opened the gates for a terrible flood...
For in the realms of the Nether; where the creatures drank of the dark well of Midnight
A rift had been torn of violence and hatred, spawning the children of Blight.

Insomnia Drip. Drip.
Taps left not quite turned off in the distance, the faint hum of a computer, the gentle ticking of a clock.
Eyes wide.
I stare straight ahead without blinking.
You exhale, plumes of thick smoke filling the room and clogging my throat like petrol.
"Coffee?" You grunt, pushing the mug into my hand.
It's all routine. Same thing, every night. Never asleep, but never quite awake...
I take a sip and it burns my tongue.
Too soon.
And we wait.Insomnia by =XXAnemia
deviation in storage by ~Devi-Decay
Late Night Purchase The streets are as quiet as ever in the dead of night, and the only sounds to be heard are from your own footsteps. There is an old street lamp on the corner that keeps flickering on and off, which is slightly annoying, but it does make it a lot easier to identify the store you're looking for, as the lamp is right next to its front entrance. As you approach the store, you can see the dim line of light seeping out from under the gray door inside that separates the store area from the back storage area, which is where the store manager should be. Where he will hopefully be.

The "Closed" sign hanging in the window flashes once as you walk past,Late Night Purchase by ~Alxyz
Living In Two Worlds,... I.
There are two windows in my bedroom,
one I look out every day,
one I look out every night.
I see my neighbor out the one,
out the other, a magic sight.

The window in the day
is just a window in my wall.
But the window in the night
is a window to my soul.

Every dream I've dreamt,
every memory that I've held,
every fear I've broken,
every demon that I've felled,

every time I close my eyes
and see the other place I live:
I open the pane,
leap through it again,
spread my arms, soar and fly.

II.
No need to shake me from my bed,
I'm already moving, ready again.
No need to repeat what you just said:
I've been looking forwarLiving In Two Worlds,... by =divBy0

Hmmm, So let me just clarify - This is a group for people who got inspiration in the dark of night and do their works when others sleep, right?

--
I am like Leonardo da Vinci - I waste my potential on worthless experiments.

And I already hate that stupid DA nick of mine - Why I can never come up with a subtle one? I have to boast with something? I mean Damn!
