Artist's Comments

Don't be afraid to let go...

Tumbling and struggling
under the weight of memories
torn and bruised and marching on
tethered and battered but struggling still
horror comes when she sees
she'd found comfort
in the collar
she'd come to love
the chain's security
but she knew in her heart
the collar was now a binding
and the chain is dragging
pulling her under the waves
and her heart feels the plea for release
so that she can swim
so that she
can live
can breathe...
and then her head breaks the surface
her lungs drink in the air
but her heart still aches
from the strain from the pain.
-poem by *mongolShawn


I took this photo some time ago, but held off on posting it for a very long time due to the incredibly personal meaning behind it. In fact this is probably my most personal photo to date...

Self Portrait. Natural Light. Touch ups in Photoshop CS.

Sorry about the watermark. It's also digitally watermarked.
