This was made for karemelancholia's Secret Garden Contest.

Extremely Important for Judging of Contest.
The forest represents alone. Most of the time I am alone and I like to be alone. A lot of the time my mind is in dark places, like the forest, because of my music, thoughts, etc. The forest is supposed to say, 'I'm broken.' And the dark should also represent depression, pain.
The girl says most of this, obviously. Her pose is awkward, which is how I feel when I'm around a lot of people. I think I can sometimes be an awkward person. I'm not outgoing at all.
The hair in front of her face relates to my self-consciousness. I don't really like to stand out to people because I don't like how I look. But the pants cancel that out. She is misplaced. I am in my school, in my home, in my family, and in my group of friends. I'm different and I stand out even though it's the opposite of what I want.
The fire burning is the hurt that I feel everyday. Being put down and stereotyped. And the hurt that I feel when I bash myself. But sometimes the fire is nice. It lets me know that I'm real.

Haha. I hate feeling pity. But that's just how I view myself. My secret garden isn't a good place for me sometimes. But it's mostly where I am. Unfortunately.
