This piece is of an extremely personal nature, and I really debated on whether or not I should submit it. But I find that sharing helps in the healing process, right? So, I'm sharing, please be sensitive to that.

I know the anatomy is somewhat funky on this, I did that on purpose. I wanted her to appear flat or almost hollow to draw your eye towards the words. I really can do anatomy, just look at the rest of my gallery. (teehee, shameless self-promotion, right?) But I usually get a comment on this when people are going through my portfolio about the anatomy, so I thought I would explain.

It is always interesting to me what words and phrases people pick up on in this. Some people find the positive, some the negative. At first I planned out was I was going to write, but that lasted about five minutes before I just let it go and started writing whatever came to mind. And sorry that the scan isn't so great, some of the words are lost or too faint.

Again, please be sensitive when commenting on this piece, I would appreciate comments very much, but ... I don't know what I'm trying to say ... jeez, somebody hug me already!
