2006 / 1. BEFORE and AFTER
''Before'' shows how I saw myself before the assault; somewhat carefree (butterflies, bright colors, wings that soar), but still with problems in my home life. The ''after'' shows how I currently feel; much darker, in a grey haze from the lack of sleep, lightning/rain, the inner darkness coming outward, tattered clothing, patched wings. (B. 17 yrs. old)
