Observation
Born with just a name. I grasped for the vines to lift myself away, pull myself out. I held on tightly, determined not to slip. I knew I had to find a better path. I'm exposed now. I feel the weight of the past hanging from my shoulders, yet it's no longer a burden; it guides me forward. It pushes me—a constant reminder to stretch out my arm and reach for something more. But I'm still scared. Terrified. I hope it's within my grasp.
Replies by this mask
- The only cage that exists is the one we put ourselves in. It can give a sense of security, but at the sacrifice of missing out on life. Funny thing is the door was always open.
- Controlling the tree yields no power if one does not also control water and light.
- I'm not so sure. When I look around, I can't help but question: who truly abandoned whom?
Revision
We're all human under the mask. It's never been more evident, through the lens of the chaos, good and bad, that's unfolded here.
