PANDORA'S BOX
Possibilities
dance in her head.
What pleasures
might there be?
Riches unbounded,
beauty unsurpassed,
joy beyond imagination.
But, what —
what if instead, dread
lurks there,
the terrors of centuries
waiting
in tenebrous depths?
Momentarily
a fleeting thought leaves
only a chill
Nothingness —
could it be empty?
Mind in chaos,
unbearable curiosity
outweighs all caution;
she can no longer
restrain her hand.
Trembling with
anticipated delight
(or is it fear?)
fingers fumble
with the latch.

Pretty In Your Pain, created by jadedink
"The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" by Evanescence
"Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away
Just get through this day
Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself, not today
That's too much guilt to pay
Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way
You're just so pretty in your pain
Give up my way, and I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.
So run, run, run
And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore
You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby
Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out
And you'll never hurt me again. "
This piece isn't meant to be offensive. A while back, pxl held an anorexia contest, which i found to be incredibly underappreciated. There were so many avenues and possibilities around that contest. I decided to take that "theme" and add my personal touch to it. This is meant for all the SURVIVORS of anorexia. and the words of the song i chose seem to describe the feeling i was trying to portray with my image.
Comments are appreciated, however, i would appreciate constructive thoughts, not destructive opinions on the actual disease, as it is not consequential to the outcome of this piece.
**edit-fixed "blurred" flowers and brought girl forward a bit..hope its better**
