Random title because I haven't pinned one down yet.
This is a very deep piece for me. Ever since I can remember, i've been a sheep. I follow orders, I am fearful, I avoid conflict. Even behind the eyes of a giant gargoyle beast who could probably rip someone in half, I am still the same sheep I always was.
It's a play on wolf in sheep's clothing, only the wolves outnumber the sheep.
I didn't use any sheep references, so i'm not even sure that it looks like a sheep. I tried, though. :C

I have been trying to be better. But I grew up sheltered and so I fear a lot of things, normally just what other people think or whether I am stepping out of line when I say something. I like to stay quiet because I do not like to be judged for my beliefs and I like to avoid conflict of opinion or interests. In turn I am very indecisive, but at least i'm friendly and very easy to get along with.
I am only strong when I have to be :P
I am thinking I might try painting the background with watercolours, but I dont think the paper is strong enough. :( Do you think I should try anyway?

I wish this was darker. *Hugs* This really is an amazing idea, however.
I understand what it's like to be herded. But the thing is that you realize that you can't let that stop you from being the beautiful person you are.
You must accept this. You must accept that people will always be people, and even things meant kindly can go wrong. But remember this: you only have control over yourself, not others.
Feelings bottle up. I know it's not always easy to voice them, but the more you try, the more confidence you will gain in your ability to speak. You are beautiful just the way you are. Don't tell yourself any different.

Darker as in more morbid, or darker as in "Kat's scanner, why u suk? :C " xD
Thank you for your kind words. I do agree with them fully. Just.. the way that I am, I blame it on my upbringing. respect always comes before self worth or self choice. all i've been taught is to do what others tell me to do, and so I do just that. I can't even figure out my own problems, I must ask others what i should do, you know?
I need to break free of the sheep complex somehow. But eh, I like to think that even though i'm essentially a toolbox in terms of not making my own choices; at least I try to be a nice person. ^^ I like being nice to others. And apparently like to be walked on, too. x3
-hugs- You're so sweet, thank you. I'll be sure to finish this piece.

AS IN YOUR SKANNER BE TEH SUX.
Trust me...I understand, at least, in my own way, of what you are going through. I grew up in a home of very anal people. Of course, a lot of it was meant well, but my family is kinda insane. My mom used to throw out my art, my clothes, my stories...anything she didn't approve of. This went on into college and whatnot; she's crazy. Then, one day, I said, you know what? I'm tired of being someone I am not. I wasn't happy that way. So, I stuck it up. I was there because of my blood disease and I was tired of being treated that way and they kicked me out in the middle of winter. However, I was all right with that, because I wasn't going to be treated so awfully anymore.
I know what it is like to want to be...well, shy and sweet. But you must understand that as sweet as a person is, as mean as a person is. We all have good and bad parts, but don't misunderstand being sweet for being walked over. Those are two different things. You be kind and firm without getting walked over. Don't let people just take advantage of you. You must learn to love yourself enough to NOT be treated that way. While people will always do mean things, there's a point where turning the cheek bites you in the butt TOO much.
Practice expressing your opinions. Practicing writing, if you like that. It's one way you can learn to form your thoughts. Join an online debate forum, and give yourself a chance to learn how to disagree without being a bitch. Remember, again, stupid people will take kind acts for mean ones.
Lastly, believe in yourself. If you want to become more outgoing, practice. Get some self help books, if needed. :) You'll learn if you strike out to become better and don't give in. *Hugs*
