    Thank you, deep is something I
    think I am able to do..sometimes too
    deep for people but anxiety is a crazy
    force of nature…how do you cope?

    Ah, yeah I was drugged for about 10 years.
    I prefer not to take that route again..art
    helps me but I’m screwed when I am not
    inspired!

    Hey Ash one day well today I was just looking around this place when I came to your name. At first your work gave me a chill down my back. I was scaried no lie. Well to get to the point I saw this picture and so I decided to write a poem about it. I hope you like it but if you dont you can tell me that too. It wont hurt my feelings

    Self Affliction

    Cutting slow, see the red glow
    Let the blood flow
    There are no tears to show
    I feel the blade, but I’m not afraid
    Suddenly everybody wants to come to my aid
    Can you feel the skin start to tear
    Because I can’t, I’m not aware
    Is this just a nightmare
    Or is it that I don’t care
    Because this skin is easy to repair
    My mind is being rattled
    I lost another battle
    Thats why I’m tasting this matel
    I can’t feel any pain
    For some reason it can’t reach my brain
    I’m trying hard for the rug to remain from getting a stain
    But I see red drops hitting the floor
    So I’m cutting some more
    Then I see more red on the floor than before
    I see people grief, standing there in disbelief
    But it brings me so much relief
    Ok Im done…you can take me

    I really think everyone has felt this in one way or another and it’s kinda amazing how some can look at things like this and find such beauty coming from tragedy. There is nothing more real then the things we wish to forget .

    A really great Image.

    Gracias Dreckens.. I feel the same. When I find
    beauty in tragic events I feel that I grow in more
    ways then one, thank you so much!
