Description This is an incredibly personal photograph.
There are several other photographs, with my head facing upwards.
I even tried adding in other arms... but that didn't seem to work.

I ran away that day. I ran and sat in a field somewhere... in the pouring rain I called out. I wanted answers. I'd felt like jumping out my window. I felt like tearing all my hair out. I was (and continue to be) being treated like some yoyo. "I'm not your toy."

I tied a tie round my mouth. Hands would be a little silly considering they are one part of me I cannot hold down. They are a source to all my upset. They are free to do what they want. My mouth on the other hand... cannot always express what it wants to. I feel/felt unable to say the things I wanted to. I felt as though someone had a hand clamped down on it... I felt trapped.

I felt very on edge at the time.

(And that photograph/layer on top... is not of my cat... Although looking at the photograph on a smaller scale... it appears so... Its of some type of plant we had to photograph at College. I just wanted more layers to this photo with more texture...)

I'm no model... and with a timer on my camera... this was the best I could achieve at the time in the state I was in...

A "Happy Accident"? (That's what I call those unexpected marvels, when Art happens maybe.)

I like this, I like how you put so much emotion and effort into your photographs. Nobody can tell you how to be youself, and you should never feel the pressure to change yourself either..if that's what it is of course.

Keep smiling ) BIG ONES!

Its a very strong Photo. I can feel the emotion in it.

and i dont know the full story but remember yo-yos only work with the string, cut it and live your life as your own. and ifs it a guy no one person is worth the pain, if its family.... well different for each person; but remember even family cant change who you really are.

but anyways great photo.
