I guess you used "Alone" to manipulate into this one. Notice how the enhanced contrast improves your expression ? I hope you have saved an original with the text layers sepparate since you made an error on 'Angel'.
The concept however is quite good and the composition quite well achieved. Try experimenting with your manipulation software (I'm not sure whether you're using Photoshop or PaintShop Pro - or none of this) try playing with masks and so on and if you have any doubts I guess that there are a number of tutorials in the web about most manipulation techniques. Keep it up!!!

thankies I love it when people give helpful comments like yours

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it? The hand that feeds ~ NIN

You're most welcome!
At least I try to...

You're very helpful

She shines
In a world of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I wont let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'd -
But it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

It's something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else

I was like you

awww thankies one of my mates first got me into NIN via that song. She said it made her think of me when she listened to it. apparently i'm too self-depreciating. It is one of my absolute favourites though

we all get like that, i know cause i still do it. but we must remember one thing:

"somewhere, we matter to someone, and they don't care that we are not perfect, nor beautiful (beauty is more then skin deep), they care only that we mean the world to them. they don't care that we've done wrong things, and that we may not be the best of people, all they care is that we make them happy, and in the end, that's all that really matters..."

i think of that, because i don't know my little sisters, but they don't care, they love me. they love me cause i make them laugh, i chase them around the house, i go on hikes with them to uncharted areas of the back yard and give them piggy-back rides. they care that i watch TV with them, and go shopping with them, go sledding and have snow-ball fights with them. they care about me because i'm me, and i may not be special to everyone, but to three little someone's i am the world...

someone out there cares about you, you just may not see it.

if i was a person who could openly weep in happiness or sadness, i wouldn't care about how other people see me, because i have three of the greatest little gifts in the world. and someday, i will have my own.
