Damaged

The monster hid and waited for me
The monster attacked, for all to see
Bruises, scrapes, cuts, the brutality
But there was no one, the monster was me

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellently gruesome...

[Mona]

Oh gosh, I do not know what to say. So I send some hugs.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I'm hoping this is make up. If not I hope you're ok xx

[Caroline]

@graemestevens thank you sir :)
@mona65 @psychographer no no, please know that this is make-up all the way! No one was harmed physically or emotionally in the making of this photo ;) but thank you for your concern!

[Bill Fenske]

excellent makeup and processing; you monster, you.

[Lisa Pouncy]

@kerosene Well I have to say it's very convincing! xx

"I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy"

[Chris Johnson]

That monster! Where is he? Let me at him! Lol. Awesome makeup job!

[Yao RL]

What a relieve after I read the last line. Very effective.

[beluga]

Impressive one!!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Yikes! And this right before going to bed. Nightmares stay away!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Oh gosh, that's strong. Picture and caption. Mean and meaningful. Compliments (and thanks for explaining that it's make-up!)

[Kate Goring]

Love the poem! Fabulous make-up, I was worried at first. Dramatic shot, perfect composition.
