Tag As FavoriteComment		The price to preserve my innocence was high, but I didn't know it then.  I was far too young to know that, for the darkness to shelter you, you must give up pure happiness.  I've tried to escape from its grip, but I always wind up being pulled back, and now I've been tied down, my wings torn long ago...
 I've noticed that all the pets that I loved died in horrible ways, and I've never kept a boyfriend up to a year.  The last of which is who had me tied down...

This is so sad! Poor her/you! I know the emotions you describe, although I usually have the gift of seeing light in the darkest places (a good thing but sometimes people believe I don't take situations serious enough because of it).
And so I think there is still hope for her - her eyes are still open and turned upwards where there is some light!

:-) Stephanie E. Riley replies: "YES! (WOAH!!! The spacebar works on this computer again!) I often find myself obscuring the light because I belive that it teases me, but I WILL learn to accept it. Yes, the light is something that we strive for! (Thanx for comenting!)"

bhautiful, I love the emotion on this peice and the symbolism of the thorns, very nicely done. Also, I agree with Roland Gromes, there is hope here.

:-) Stephanie E. Riley replies: "*sighs* Thank you, the thorns were rather obnoxious though... and there shall ALWAYS be hope! It's just often obscured by the pain..."

Why is she coverd in thorns?

:-) Stephanie E. Riley replies: "Cuz... darkness is evil and doesn't want her to get away... so we make it as painful as possible cuz it's evil."

:-) Stephanie E. Riley replies: "Um... yeah... she’s the symbolic version of me and my feelings at the time. Glad you like the thorns... and I do like to think that everyone has their emo days."
