Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.<br /> <br /> You think she&#039;s insane. Until, one day, you notice that she&#039;s taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.<br /> <br /> Because you look. But you do not see.<br /> <br /> And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she&#039;s some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.<br /> <br /> Because you eat. But you do not taste.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s been a while since their last album but he assures you, he&#039;s doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.<br /> <br /> Because you sniff. But you do not smell.<br /> <br /> And they say &quot;Just OK&quot; when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they&#039;re hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads &quot;I wish you&#039;d give me some privacy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Because you listen. But you do not hear.<br /> <br /> And they&#039;ve got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.<br /> <br /> Because you touch. But you do not feel.<br /> <br /> And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.<br /> <br /> Because you live. But very few, love.

Cover up the eyes and then look at the picture. The kid still looks scared, doesn't he.

I love this! I especially love the detail you put into the eye, with the silohuette of the person! *****

HE. Scared ME!

Great drawing. You really have a bond with those charcoals. :D I think that besides the eye, you might want to add another detail or two to show his fear. (E.g. a trembling lip.) It's not just our eyes that show our emotions!

Actually, it was for a child abuse project in English class, of all places.  I really need to put in onto some better paper.  You can't tell, but it's on some kind of thick posterboard, and cut out, because some other stuff was glued on.  My English teacher said that it stared at her when she was in the classroom.  LOL

oh my goodness. that was my first reaction. this is breathtaking. the fear is captivated all over the face. & as soon as you see the eyes you know it's not just weird child, but that there's something wrong. this would be a great image for some kind of child abuse foundation. outstanding work !
