Description
They cry in the dark, so you cant see their tears
They hide in the light, so you cant see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldnt have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
Its all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Youre daddys good girl, and dont tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and youll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing
hell is for children
Pat Benatar

what a mess the small sized version looks please click zoom to see it how it was meant to be seen - thanks
Magnific expression, I love it and thanks to reminds me this so excellent song of Miss Benatar- Excellent!
Very moving image & words...wish it wasn't too true for too many.
Excellent interprettion. The expression is perfect and the background fits brilliantly. Maybe a little more flame reflected in the eyes? Love it.
I know that story well. Excellent image. She's perfect!
Wonderful expression and so beautiful face! Love the lighting too! Excellent! Hugs. Ana.
Great expression and background... I too know that story well..
The zoom is the one thing I hate and find most don't use in their hurry to get through the gallery, grrr Beautiful and powerful Chris.......
A very moving image Chris :-) The song is just perfect for this image!!! Excellent artwork Chris!!! Hugsss Frankie ^_^
I don't know that song but it's a great image. hugs ^_^
I liked that song back in the day. Pat Benetar rocked. Awesome yet sad image.
Chris: I wish this wasn't a subject we hear of every day, however, we do. If more could see this, maybe one less child would be hurt. There is, also, the emotional abuse some children face which needs to be mended as well. This is an important piece. Please get this out, even if you can only give an abuse support website permission...that in itself is a big deal. Now, you want to know what I think of this piece as a work of art...I think I just told you....Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Jan
And, then they become adults, where that child hides inside, still tourched.
Cool lighting and beautiful hair
Wonderful image Chris! You really have a gift for emotional impact in your artowrk. This is so sad, yet so beautiful. Well done! :D
Very moving and emotionally impactful image hun - great song as well S
Very lovely and moving..nicely done Chris!!
Not sure I'd have thought of the song from just the image, but knowing the lyrics it fits well...unfortunately. :( Very well done though. :)
Just a superb topic and corresponding magnificent artwork, Miss Chris!! I so enjoy it when artists make statements with their works, be they artistic or written (ALL: see Eternalwytch1 last written upload: My Father's Voice - writers gallery!). Now, Miss Chris, how do WE, the collective people, handle this mess we all know exists? We cannot claim 'ignorance' as our excuse. Thanks again, for doing such a work/piece!! Excellent!! My best, TallPockets/brian.
Is that cask a prop? Awww she has such a sad expression. Lovely work Chris :) Cathy xoxoxo
Thanks for shaking the boat Chris! Bravo! There is no place for abuse, except HELL! For those that do - ENJOY!
Yes,quite a sad image but lovely at the same time.
Excellent image - like the pose and POV and the background is superb!!!
She look awesome!!! Excellent work!!!
superb work....very stunning!
Powerful! I liked the song (opps, dating myself), and I love the image. It's sad that child abuse still happens everyday. Excellent work!
Lovely .... really portrays the song.
A wonderfully powerful and emotional image! She seems to show both vulnerability and strength in her pose and expression - perhaps as we all do! Well done - and the perfect pic for the lyrics too :)
