Self portrait

I know what you're thinking..  Why is this titled self portrait?  It's a photo of a fence..  Yes.  To me and to most artistic people like photographers they get that this is more than just a fence.  This is a perfect representation of how I feel.  You see how the fence is broken?  The only thing keeping that fence from falling apart are those vines many which contain thorns. The thing that bothers me is that there are so many of those vines that it hides the beauty of that gorgeous fence.  That fence was hand crafted made with love, put together with a little elbow grease and a lot of passion.  If I were to rip down those vines the fence would probably fall apart.. That fence is held together by those vines.  That is how I feel.  For most of my life there has always been something defining me,  holding me together yet ripping me apart and hiding my true potential all at one time. So now is the real test the vines have been torn out and the fence is bare..  Will the fence stand on its own or will it fall apart when the wind blows just a little too hard?  I have no idea.  There's no time better than the present I guess.
