"You tried to say something nice, but it came out all wrong. ...She looked at you with disgust, called you a creep. (And you wonder why no one loves you.)

"You're a freak. ...A twisted wretch, suffering from deformities of both body and mind. You're an outcast, watching the beautiful, happy people with contempt, while you slowly die from the inside out.

"Yeah, you're a freak. A misfit. A reject.

"Just like me."

I wish we could all feel loved and accepted. It’s a human need, and it goes unmet so often, resulting in most of the problems in the world.


I’ve often felt cast aside by others. Treated like I’m invisible at best, and a freak at worst. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to fit in, and failing more often than I succeed.


I created this piece to capture that sense of feeling wretched and unwanted, to both inspire fear and be fearful yourself. It’s the idea of spending so much time on the outside, that you begin to believe all the horrible things they say about you.


If any of this resonates with you, the only comfort I can offer you is that you’re not alone.
