A broken illusion
A clashing of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
A misunderstanding starting to erode the soul and sense of essence
A… a…. a… moment in time where the confusion becomes too much to bear
Insecurity setting in as the vision of the person’s life begins to crumble around
All sense of security escaping their immediate surroundings
A fragile moment where comfort, closure, and warmth is most needed..
however, a moment when we are instructed to be strong
A contradiction where our spirit is attempting to shine forth
Our heart’s attempt to heal and beat
An interaction with a world ready to drain, bleed, and manipulate for external gain
(I get it.. everyone needs their bread and butter)
To the artist, this can be fuel and destruction
