"I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style...
...And that's alright.
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am...
Oh, who am I?"

Lately I've been listening to songs by fun. It inspired me to do a series of pictures based upon a few of the songs. This song makes me think of a lot of things in my own life. Skye, having many of the same experiences is thinking back on those things. The rebellious phase he had far too early, the identity crisis he had at the same time, the fact that despite trying his hardest, nothing comes from it, and yet random people come out of nowhere and ruin all his efforts and these people didn't even try. His lack of friends, lost friends and various regrets and self loathing. But he finds some comfort in a plushie he had since he was young.

This is a very emotional piece. I can imagine Skye holding on to his plushie as emotions flood into his mind. A whole lifetime of hurtful events and self-loathing coming in like a flood with his Pikachu seeming to be the only thing keeping the cold, cruel reality from overwhelming him entirely.
This is one of those scenes that make you wish you could jump into the image and comfort poor Skye. To let him know that life does get better from here. That someone could care and others can appreciate him despite his traumatic past.
