Please, please, please, let me get what I want…

This song also speaks to some deep-seated issues for me, particularly my history of great difficulty on going after the things that I want, often difficulty even in naming or knowing them. But walking through life feeling as I have nothing, and that whenever I do get something, I lose it or have it taken away from me. The pensive plaintive chord progression and vocals inspired me to let my brush gently wander and undulate across the page. Color seemed out of place here; this is a black-and-white feeling. In DBT they say “feelings aren’t facts,” but they do exist, and now this one is embodied in semi-permanent fashion in ink on paper.
