Close your eyes, imagine the concrete floor beneath your
feet disappear completely. Scrape the gravity off your skin
and throw it against the walls that have kept you prisoner.
Keep those eyes closed, take your first real breath as your
chest cavity expands to make way for an unfiltered brand of
natures oxygen. Virgin lungs no more, you breathe a little
deeper while trying to play with the air slithering around your
little fingers. Stretch your arms towards the moon and purge
all of your frustrations. Let it all melt, vent till your mind is
clear from repression. Face the mirror that’s been judging
your every movement. Look at your reflection and study the
image. Every scar. Every bruise. Every flaw. Immediately
now, look past it all. Accept the fact that you are not this
picture, understand that you are no longer bound to
anything. Turn your back on visual expectations and
representations of what people want to see, shatter the
glass into a million pieces. At long last, live free from
it all. Design your own destiny. Rise and repeat,
‘I’ll only live for me.’
I have to leave a comment this time; do so often think of doing so. This is beautiful from a technical point of view (at least, *I* think it is: I’m little versed in the art so far); but far more beautiful it is because it serves the feelings at the core of its expression. Like watching a film director who cares more about the characters’ stories than his/her own. Generously written. Lovely lovely stuff.
