Description I never thought I'd feel this
Guilty and I'm broken down inside
Livin' with myself nothing but lies

I always thought I'd make it
But never knew I'd let it get so bad
Livin' with myself is all I have

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Livin' in a world so cold, wasting away
Livin' in a shell with no soul since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away, you've gone away

Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Starin' at yourself, paralyzed?

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Livin' in a world so cold, wasting away
Livin' in a shell with no soul since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away, you've gone away from me

I'm too young to lose my soul
I'm too young to feel this old
So long, I'm left behind
I feel like I'm losing my mind

Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Starin' at your life, paralyzed?

Livin' in a world so cold, wasting away
Livin' in a shell with no soul since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away, you've gone away from me

I'm too young
I'm too young.
World so cold - Three Days Grace

Yesterday I was watching with my mom an MTV show about bullied kids and teens with problems like bulimia, self-injuries, etc. And I decided to finish this drawing I had started 1 week ago.

That show touched something inside of me because I was one of those teens with problems. ^^ Now, life is good but remembering the darkness always makes the light to seem brighter.

Oh, I almost forgot it. I´m the model. So yeah, that´s me with my green hair. xD

Mind-blowing! I have been there too, alone in the dark, wondering where it all went so horribly wrong. I am glad that the light is brighter for you now. You have talent and it would be a shame to have it silenced as mine was. Keep strong.

LeeMinKyo In reply to Angelsrest [2011-02-17 19:44:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. All the comments on this piece are very very important to me. Evident reasons.
It´s hard to be there, and even after so long it´s kinda painful to remember it. Mostly because as much as we want, you never get completely cured.
Thank you so much for such kind words. Art has been sometimes the only "place" where I could run to and feel free, so I will never let anyone take that away from me. You shouldn´t let anyone do that to you. Let your voice be heard and never silenced.

Thanks hon
Sadly I heard my singing voice one day and realized that I simply have no ear for music despite a passion for singing lol (tone deaf and persistently off key lol). I can play the piano by ear though

LeeMinKyo In reply to Angelsrest [2011-02-22 04:10:21 +0000 UTC]

Well, sometimes the important thing is for you to enjoy something. I mean, even people who has an amazing voice can´t work as a singer. It doesn´t matter. If you love to sing, then sing.
Pianoooo... I wish I could play piano. *jealous* I love piano songs.

Angelsrest In reply to LeeMinKyo [2011-02-22 06:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Lol. I still sing in the shower and when I am alone, just never in front of anyone
As for piano, I no longer have access to one sad to say. The very first song I taught myself to play on the piano was Chariots Of Fire (just the melody). I cannot read sheet music to save my life lol. My piano instructor refused to teach me when he learned that little fact

OH MY!!! this is soo beautiful and sad! ....i know how hurtful these problems can be......i myself was bullied until sophomore year! ...i didnt cut myself or anything...cuz i knew if i do somthing like that...people who loves me..would also suffer with me....i wasnt stupid like that!.....and i can see you're the model....but i cant imagine you like this....so sad and vulnerable! it makes me wanna cry ....but this is really very beautiful!.... somehow reminds me of myself when i used to be angry at the world...thinking why me? and cry...and shout and even hurt people ....well...i got over that eventually! ....so i also want to thank you for drawing something like this

LeeMinKyo In reply to Shattered-Destiny44 [2011-01-25 14:45:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your sweet words. I´m sorry you were bullied.
I don´t think someone who cut herself/himself is stupid. This is an illness like bulimia, anorexia, depression, etc. I love you babe, but saying this is stupid it´s not right. A lot of people suffer because this and it´s a painful problem for them and their families.
I didn´t want to use some unknown person as my model, and since I have suffered this in the past I wanted to be the model. It makes this drawing even more especial for me. It´s nice to see it and remember that I was so broken in the past but now I´m a completely different person with a good life.
Thank YOU for commenting it.

Im sorry i didnt meant that the person who cuts themselves are stupid!! .... i just think if they do it...their families, friends...the people who loves them suffer more than the actual person does! ...well...like you said it's an illness they cant fight..their minds werent stable...it's a sadness....so well i understand it completely..but i'd never do it...cuz i have a few people who actually loves me....so i wont hurt them like that...i suffered from depression myself but i had a stable mind.... aww...i never knew that you suffered it too...well...looks like we both have more things in common than we thought.......i know what you're saying....my life right now is good...i wont say its amazing...but its far from bad...i love this piece..so your welcome

SelahNox [2011-01-25 03:23:46 +0000 UTC]

It's beautiful. Simply beautiful, and dark. It has feeling and expression. I love that.

I had a best friend that was type 1 diabetic and bulimic. We both cut. It was hard watching her suffer, even though, in a way, we both had the same problem. I had often considered doing what she did, but I never carried it out like she did.

LeeMinKyo In reply to SelahNox [2011-01-25 08:59:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. I wanted to show the pain and make people feel it too.

I suffered that too. I was bulimic and cut myself for years, but now that´s the past. We all need to fight and realize we´re beautiful the way we are and hurting ourselves will not help us to be happier. I do hope you´re better now.

This one takes my breath away. You can really feel the pain and sorrow, you suffer with those kids. My cousin is a bulimia patient and cuts herself, it`s pretty hard for her. It makes my cry.
Amazing job, really!

LeeMinKyo In reply to naleme [2011-01-24 21:04:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. Every comment means a lot to me because this drawing is very personal. I wanted to make people feel all the pain those kids feel. I have been there and it´s a pain too strong to feel anything else. Luckly for me that was yearssssss ago.
I hope your cousin gets better.
Thank you so much for your words.

You've done a beautiful, darkly impressive job, and I like the explanation of the origin of this picture. You captured the pain and sorrow so well... there's a great feeling of pain and desolation in this work.

Thank you so much. I have been working very hard on this drawing because it has been a personal project of mine for a long time, but after seeing that show yesterday I felt so conected to those past feelings... I´m happy it shows all the sorrow and pain that those kids feel when they are suffering. ^^

I've been thinking about that pic ever since I saw it. You know I'm not too much into dark and suffering etc., but it's got a really haunting quality. So I'm coming back for it...

LeeMinKyo In reply to LittleSeaSparrow [2011-01-29 10:50:43 +0000 UTC]

I guess it kinda shocking or touching or something. I truly drew it with a feeling-overdose after watching the sad stories from that MTV show. And it was my first time using a black background and white brushes to draw. it´s fun to do it like that instead of white background and black brushes.
Awww, I´m glad it can makes someone else to feel a powerful feeling. I wanted to make people understand how much some teens suffer. We always hear about bullied kids, problematic teens, but we never try to understand what they feel.
