Description There is within me a damaged child who longs to cry, only she is not sure how.

This is a VERY personal piece. Done specifically for therapy as my therapist requested me to think about the word SHAME and how I represent it in my mind. What do I see. The image itself is reflective of a lot of things in my life, some of which I've hidden from people since I was a child.

The path to recovery is about facing demons. I understand that now. And while it is hard, I know it can only make us stronger. It isn't about putting those thoughts and feelings away, hiding them - it is about facing them head on, accepting them and living with them for the rest of your life in a manner you can.

With thanks to the following stock.

Wow...I mean...I'm speechless.
Not only is this a great tag, but it really...connects.
It just brings out real life. It just shows exactly what some people like me live through, have lived through, or will live through.
I just...I mean...wow. I don't even know what to say. This has to be your best work yet.
