The pencil drop

.Once I was drawing, sketching, doodling or whatever you can call it.
Then I dropped it, the pencil. It was falling, like in slow motion.
I just stared.
Pencil hitting the floor, spinning a little, the horrible cracking sound of the lead breaking.
Still I stare at the pencil, feeling grief.
I feel like giving up right now, stop drawing. It’s like my drawings have no mean to me, to anybody.
“Pick it up...” I hear a distant voice saying. I still not moving.
“Pick up the pencil now”
The voice is like a haunting sound I hear. I lower my hand to pick up the poor pencil.
My hand stops, hesitation in my mind. Why should I bother, it’s not like anybody cares.
“It does matter to you, pick it up and continue!!” The voice yells.
Scared, I pick up the pencil and continue. I smile.
“As long as you pick the pencil up, keep it in your hand...”
I smile more, I nod.
“You will never give up”
The voice is silent, with a smile I continue with new found energy.

“If you drop the pencil, pick it up always. You will never give up with the pencil in hand.”
~ My words to you

“Remember, keep that pencil in your hand, then you will always continue”
~My dear Math Teacher.

Will contain grammar mistakes in BOTH the literature piece and this description, because English is not my native language.

This one is inspired by my math teacher, I thank her for her support and trying so hard to help me in everything. I will miss her greatly in the times of the summer vacation.
I hope her second child will be as healthy as the first one.

This literature is for the artist's. (and some of my close friends too)
I'm just trying to tell that, anybody can draw as long as you keep it in your hand. I know it feels great to get comments like "good", "beautiful" or so on. I enjoy those comments, but please...one word comment. I believe you can write better and longer comments than one word!

I always want to know what you like about it, the drawing. Criticism is something I want sometimes, not bad but GOOD criticism!
Even trying to start a converstation about the drawing is good, it makes the artist happy, atleast me.
For example, you see...Ed from FMA hold a pillow and is sleeping, don't do the one word cute...if you can't think of something say something like: "Aww he seems to be at peace! Mustang must be gone for a vacation!! YAY!".

I think I made my point somehow, you don't need to agree with me, you make your own desition about it.
SA feel free to change the category that my literature is because I'm not sure myself, I just feel like it should be a prose rather than poetry.

- Maybe I should put this whole despcription as literature too becase it's so long!!
