Chronic Smiles
Photo Transfer, Ink, Carbon and Graphite on Paper
-
- Behind this smile is everything
-
- I’m exhausted from trying to be stronger than I am
-
- It feels like everyone is sitting in the sunshine while I drown in the rain
-
- Sometimes you have to accept that things will never go back to the way they were
-
- I can’t remember the last time I was comfortable
-
- I’m acting like I’m okay please don’t interrupt my performance
-
- I have hopes and dreams that have been crushed
-
- You never know how strong you are until strong is your only choice
-
- You are not obligated to be an inspiration
-
- Its hard to admit you’re not as strong as everyone believes
-
- I’m tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held
-
- I’m doing the best that I can
-
- You don’t always have to be grateful that it isn’t worse
-
- When I finally rest when I drift off to sleep its my only break its the only time I am without pain
-
- You can’t tell how much suffering is on a face that is always smiling
