Description
*You think I am down...
well maybe I am, but only
cos my body needs its time
to raise up again...
I might seem calm,
while obeyin you...
I might seem nice,
while smiling at you...
But I feel rage towards you all,
I feel you're stealing my forces full.
It's gonna end,
cos my mind thinks:
no longer more
I'll fill your dreams.
You gotta do what helps yourself:
my choice is freedom,
a brand new set
of duties and rights
you never cared of
too taken in makin me do
your jobs and plots.
I might look down,
but I do reason well:
after this month,
you'll think of me.
With regret.

Picture taken with Zeiss Ikon Netter (an old vertical camera property of my father) lights artificial from three lamps, old film (from there the dusting). Scanned with Epson Stylus CX 3200, normal settings.
No postwork. The picture is of that dimension due to a scissor's cut :).
Model of course is me.
----------
I took a long series of pictures with me posing and with that old camera for a request Black_ST did to me months ago to pose for him.
I gave him 9 shots, and some more I will, but I kept for myself of course the majority of the session (two days.. it was long.)
This one was perfect to explain you all the way I feel lately. I am never around due to insane working.. but it's gonna end. As New year starts, I will take 6 months off from my work as University Researcher. Basically cos I don't stand the Milan's crew there around me.Which makes me do things I was never hired for doing.
In the 6 months off i'll start a new career as administrative responsible of an important society round me.. and maybe I will finally get my second Master degree (in Psychology) and finish to write my book of tales for children, and searchin an editor for it ;)
So don't worry for me in case you were. And read the poem.. it explains much.
Hope you enjoy :)
PS: Out from this session in grey-blue will be taken the picture I am gonna use for the gift of Xmas to some of you dears :) expect it in parcel at your houses :) Hugs again :)

I can ,t understand the English language good enough for understanding your poem but i like the great expression and pose from the woman
E' una foto bellissima, Meli, e la modella eccezionale! :o)
Sei stupenda... ;)
Now a good hunker explains a lot. A crouch is stealthy. A squat is clumsey. This with the upturned disdain has no word. It escalates on a seated whisper of contempt spoken to a tall man walking away. It avoids the cold distant maternity of the ground. All that's left is to squeeze your cheeks to show control. A secret gathering of voluntary epistle. Not a rise but a power. Wiggling your toes can bring solitary vision.
Love the textures on this photo. Excellent!
thoughtful words! but a wonderful catch of yourself and your feelings!
You are such a beautiful young lady, with your sweetness you also posses self-confidence and power. This I do admire totally.
Oh, sweet girl! I am glad you are leaving your bad situation and will soon have some rest. And then on to better things! This is a beautiful picture....we can drink your emotion and power from this cup
very beautiful picture!
So Beautiful! And Your So Busy! Busy! Busy! Good Luck With All Your Endeavors...

Awesome image!!! Sweeet Model!!!!!
I wish I knew the model.. but hey, I do!!! You are sooo beautiful, excellent photo!! ;-)
Ahh My Meli girl.. you need a big ol mama hug and some cocoa and you are just absolutely an angel.. don't let people drag you down sweet one..just remember, you have to live life..and if you ever need a collaborator on your stories.. you can tap on my shoulder. I just want to take your pain and your weariness away. Guess that's the granny in me hon LOL Know you are loved.. and renew your energies.
Perfect juxtaposition of image and text. You're amazing with what you do. I'm in a closely parallel situation so I have empathy. Excellent.
You fight the good fight Meli! Great portrait and poem! I've been down that same road before. Thankfully my current situation is a good one! Don't worry it will all work out. (you knew that already)
Gorgeous pose, Meli. Great poem. Work pressures can ruin your life. Hang on dear girl! You will make it! Hugs to you.
You look beautiful and pose so gracefully this is a wonderful image and a strong poem --and i'm glad for the explanations of work etc. Thanks for letting us see this beautiful portrait and glimpse into your real world !!
This looks ready for your pencil... great posing! I hope you get to work on your book!
Great pose. Very artistic shot ! Wonderful poem.
Fantastic image, Meli!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
nice words and u look good
I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said my angel but to say that I personally feel you are one person who can do anything you set your mind to. Your pose in the photo says so much about your strength of conviction to do what is right by you, and that's all you need to do to be successful ;) I'm looking forward for your release from this current turmoil in Milan as then you will be free to truly create who you want to be, without backbiting ;) Hugest hugs Love you angel.
Your words fit the photo perfectly. You always have such a way of expressing yourself. Sounds like work has got many people feeling the way you do. Hopefully this will pass soon. Be well. Hugs and smiles.
What a fantastic work..!! wonderful shot Meli,...cool texture and tone...well done.!
photo poem combo is awesome......... you look strikingly beautiful here.:O))
Could not ask for a more beautiful model! You look gorgeous hon, well done!!
Glad to hear you're doing well =) Its a beautiful shot huggles
What impact this poem & photo have! The pose is so perfect for the emotion! I am glad you explained yourself further, at 1st I thought it was your art admirers that was the instigator of your rage, and that your goodbye was darker in nature! Relieved am I that it is not! :) Bravo & Hugs, and good luck with your new job, and wishing you great success in obtaining your dreams!
