Description
"You hold the answer deep within your own mindConsciously you've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant
Too shameful for us to entertain, we reject it
We erase it from our memory
But the imprint is always there
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth
My final time
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know
I cannot bear it all alone
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten"
-"Understanding", Evanescence

Ahh something simple and dark. I haven't even worked on anything for the longest time and it was making me feel so useless in life. So I wanted to just make something and not over-think it and get it done. And I did it. Yayyy. It felt very refreshing.

I feel like no one understands or ever will undestand me or what I go through, I always get judged and beaten back down, but this is still really good. When no one understands, it just never happenes but this is true for other people and it is still kinda cool, it's great when people understand and are there for you when they understand, and this is true for other people and it's kinda cool.

Dude, your pictures still don't show up in my inbox. I found this by mistake. I like it by the way. I think you use birds in almost every picture.
Yep. I tired calling you back lamo but nothing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Laugh, I know! I started to notice a while back that I use birds so much. I don't know where my weird bird obsession comes from.
And huh, my stuff still doesn't show up? That's weird. It shows that you're watching me on my devwatchers. Try like removing me and then adding me again or something. And I just realized that I'm not watching you, so I fixed that. When is some more arts happening?

That's a good question. I'd really like to start taking some serious modeling pictures. And just as soon as I can find tripod, or a photographer, I'M SO ON IT. Maybe you could help me with my plight when you visit?!

I really like how you did the hair, makes it all dark and Understanding-ish
Such an awesome song...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! And yeah, actually the hair is a big reason why I chose that stock image for this piece. It was so fitting for the song to me. I guess because it kind of looks like her hair is wet so it made me think of "can't wash it all away".
