Description
Af·flict·ed-To inflict grievous physical or mental suffering on.
-To cause oneself to become hurt
It breaks the blood vessels connecting the mind over the emotion, and taunts me with visions of self-infliction. Mutilated thoughts then manifest through suicide of brain cells, while new matters are revealed in an appalling fashion. We are devastated to learn we are pulled around by a string of judgments and heart felt passion, and no matter how hard we try, it can’t be tamed or controlled. Things begin to boil, broil, and pour down our faces, clothing, and bedding, until it leaves a puddle of thoughts to evaporate into tiny droplets of forgotten hope. Minds begin to suffocate from the stress of life itself. Harder and harder, we try to stop it, but it just won’t stop!! It seems perseverance is not helping the matter, but beating it to bloody pulp.
I slam my face onto the bed sheets, scraping, cutting, grasping my own skin, while my brain screams, “Just make it quit!” But, it is like a virus, and continues to spread through my pulsating veins. So I sit up, and look into the reflection of the mirror. This is where, I lose myself.
This is the first photograph in my new project titled,"Language Barriers." Basically, I have decided that I will be illustrating 26 emotions, one for every letter of the English alphabet. Most emotions are extremely complex, and if anyone out there is like myself, sometimes I have a hard time putting these things into words. I'm drawing a tie between these emotions that are indescribable, and the words we use. This photo turned out OK, but I was expecting better. The lighting was very dark today, so I didn't have much natural light to work with.

Although you say there wasn't much natural lighting to use, I really like this photo. My favorite of yours, actually.

Really? Thank you. Yes, there wasn't, and I guess I thought that maybe the lack of lighting took away from the photo.

Not at all. If anything, it improved it. Affliction isn't really a happy thing so too much lighting wouldn't have helped deliver the mood as good
