Description
"I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way"
By Trent Reznor
Trying some realism with my painting here, based on the film clip to the extraordinary 'Hurt' clip done by the late Johnny Cash. The pain this man felt in his final days really do hit home in that song and clip.

I can truly relate to the pain and strong emotions reverberating from this painting....I also feel your pain,confusion and feelings of helplessness, it sears right through to my soul. Don't give in to those feelings. Grasp them,embrace them....then turn them into something positive such as this painting.It moves me to tears to see such wonderful talent blossoming. You are becoming a beautiful soul and I see it more and more through your artwork. You have a wonderful gift of being able to let others see what true pain feels like,not many are blessed with such a gift.Please keep reminding everyone how to feel and not hide from their true feelings and emotions. {{{hugz}}} You are doing a great job and can only get better.
