Word and image

You've had a couple of feel-good items from me lately, so look away now if that's all you can take.  I'm sorry - this is a more difficult topic and is written for a Gackt-fan friend who lives in a house dominated by someone with depression.  On a personal note, I'm trying hard not to think that my posting the piece at this particular time has anything at all to do with the frustration of obtaining R&RII tickets - surely not!



I don't know the original source for this image so I can't even guess at the copyright in the un-edited version.  The words are mine.

wow, these words are really powerful! :o And I thought my angsty poems were, well, angsty. You are a really good friend! ^^

That is an amazing poem. Poignant and powerful. I hope you have better luck getting the RetRII tickets!!

I have the original color version of this pic and it's one of my favorites for the warm fire light tones but I haven't thought much about the mysterious dark half... and probably wouldn't have come up with the same theme even if I did. ^^ But your version struck a chord once I saw it. Someone close to me has depression too and I never know how to help without making things worse, not having experienced it myself to be able to truly understand it. :(
Ah, R&RII tickets, I'm trying to get some too. Best of luck to both of us!

Personally, feel good stuff every now and again is okay, but I love such dark and interesting topics such as these. They are the portions of the life and the aspects of human nature that are constantly being covered up by humor or some kind of romanticism.

But not this poem. The words themselves were blunt, even though the way they were crafted was in a mysterious way so to speak. And the power behind them is just astounding. I think it is wonderful, amazing, and very brave of you to bring up such a heart breaking and touchy topic, but you handled it rather well.

Finally, and I must say this, that image of Gackt just completes this poem and makes the piece brilliant. Thank you for posting and sharing this, it was a very intriguing read that I thoroughly enjoyed. ^^
