Yeah I know, two "vent art images" in one week? Let's just say I've got a lot on my mind, and way too much to think about. I am dealing with a tremendous amount of stress right now, and not to mention my Maw-Maw is on one of her "hateful" binges where she treats me like total crap.
-Anywhooooo, my mother asked me to draw out how I was feeling, so I'll explain the details of the picture and why the small things represent what they do, so here goes:
1. I feel like I can't say anything around the woman (Penny) who is boarding my horse, or otherwise she'll ask us to get my horse out of her place and we don't have any other place to move him. So Pain's mouth is sown shut.

2. I can't continue to keep a certain "look" on my face when I am around Penny (the barn owner) because she will think I am mad. So the stitching around Pain's ears represent me not being able to show my emotions.

3. The black heart in the "inner self" of Pain represents my constant feelings, I am a very depressed person, so therefore my heart seems black and dull.

4. The cracks in Pain's "inner self" represents me just plain falling apart both mentally and emotionally (which is basically the same thing, lol.)

5. The brown leather shackles represent me being a "puppet," meaning that I am having to act a certain way and be someone I am not. I don't want to be controlled like this anymore. I just want to be me.

6. The dark circles under Pain's eyes represents me in real life, and just how much more horrible I now look from all the stress and lack of sleep from being too stressed.

-That's really all.
