It's gonna be sudden
It's gonna be strange
I'm gonna turn on a dime
Give you five cents change
It's gonna be long overdue
It's all gonna come out
Outta me, on to you
One of these days
You're gonna push too hard
We'll go on like we've always done
'Til you go too far
Yeah one of these days
It's gonna reach the top
Then it's gonna start to spill
And it's not gonna stop
Some people wear their smile like a disguise
Those people who smile a lot
Watch the eyes
I know it 'cuz I'm like that a lot
You think everything's okay
And it is
'Til it's not
Some people wear their heart
Up on their sleeve
I wear mine underneath my right pant leg
Strapped to my boot
Don't think cause i'm easy, i'm naive
Don't think I won't pull it out
Don't think I won't shoot
Most people like to talk a lot
Including you
You know there isn't much I have to say
That I wouldn't rather
Just shut up and do
I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone
Yeah I'm gonna be torn
Just remember that I love you
Just remember you were warned

Yikes. I certainly wasn't trying to be persumptuous. I saw the comment as more complimentary than derogatory, I apologize if it caused offense in any way. Nothing is more attractive than a strong, outspoken woman, in my mind.

Sorry. I wasn't really taking offense. Just reminding all my online viewers that I only show you part of myself. And making an example out of your statement.
I always apprecite different points of view, and I love the fact that you see me as strong, outspoken, and uncensored. That is a part of myself that I hope never to lose.

Wonderful image, Meredith. Hope that tape didn't hurt too much coming off! Your slightly bloodshot eyes just make this one for me...great stuff!
Meredith_Farmer 77 months ago | reply
Yeah...the bloodshot eyes were unfortunate but worked for this shot. Thanks.

I wish I could make a clever remark about this shot. The fact is the bloodshot eyes seem too real and leaves me with a very true sense of disconsolation and a genuine emotional reaction of empathy. In all honesty Ms. Farmer, this shot has touched me emotionally. If a good shot generates emotion, well then, I think you have done it here.
Meredith_Farmer 77 months ago | reply
Disconsolation. Great word.
I'm glad you like it. Or are at least felt it. The bloodshot eyes are, again, real but unfortunate. So your sense of their "realness" would be correct.
But thank you.

This is a gorgeous photo! The whole taped mouth concept is kinda overdone, but the lighting and mood is perfect in this pic!

Hi,
My name is Aaron, and I front a small time band out of Chicago called Last Affliction. I was looking through Flickr today looking for ideas for album art for our new demo called Unspoken. I was wondering if we could work something out so that I could put this photo on our cover. I could show you a mock-up of what I'd like to do with the photo if you'd like, but this photo is definately the direction we want to go in with the art. I can be contacted at AAclinard@hotmail.com.
Thanks for your time (and a great shot!)
Aaron Clinard
