Description
Do you know what it's like to walk the uncertain path?That lonely trail to border of delirium,
but I know I'm never alone.
Over my shoulder,
In the corner of my eyes,
as I blink,
through my periphery,
and over my shoulder...
They haunt every footstep.
They taunt every thought.
They feed off of every fear.
And they relish in every regret.
They will follow me to the very edge,
and push me over when I finally get there.
There is no compassion in this companionship.
Do you know what it's like?
This isn't just art my friend.
This isn't just something for you to scruntinize.
Take your critical eyes and look closer.
It's an expression.
It's a window in the thoughts of a troubled mind.
It isn't just something you hang on the wall.
It's a cry for help.
Every line, every stroke,
Every color blended together with passion.
And it's just a cry for help.
These hands don't control the imagery it creates as they prented they do.
The reality is this mind runs rampant,
and they follow every step.
I am that little boy.
I am trapped eternally in this frame, hung on the wall for you to enjoy.
And they whisper over my shoulder...
"You'll never be good enough."
"Remember kid, you're pathetic."
"They never loved you."
"Even your Father didn't love you enough to stay."
"They all know you're a loser, so why don't you get it?"
"Boy, just what are you fishing for?"
...Go on and beg...
This is just a cry...
and it's just a cry for help!

Sometimes you forget they follow others, too...
It is hard to know whether to be relieved or cry...

This has sat in my inbox for a while cuz I couldn't seem to write a good comment worthy of this. The picture is beautiful and sad, it gives off the mood quite well and the neutral colors help a lot. It is drawn very well and the details are very well done. Tis quite a nice piece. The poem that goes with it is quite sad but very well written. Very sad to be honest.

That water is done really well...
I call doing my own art my "mental floss"because it's what keeps me healthy.
May you find solace,redemption,forgiveness,and all the healing self love you'll ever need in your wonderful Art...

Ah at the end of the land they even follow you and harass you, never letting you be in peace.Intruding your mind to make you despair and never forget they they are immortal and forever they will make you regret that you even exist.
And yet you got to sea, look at the horizon and try to relax and fish a little.
Ah cry for help yet he does not shout, a cry of despair yet he does not shed tears in the sea.
Maybe he's just too tired of showing it and has no more tears to shed or he could be ignoring them all in all.
All looks nice and well done except the water that looks weird, not realy like water but yet you recognise it as water... :s
Nice work anyway! ^^

Woooah you are dark.
Great work on the water, makes it look like it's disturbed. The rocks are definitely your style, but the hair on the person seems more animΓ©-ish.
But great work none-the-less.

It's a little more drastic as far as the hair. It just came out that way as I started painting him. Mainly because of the difficulty of the angle more than anything else.
