To Express A Feeling
One of the most apparent intentions of art is to express an emotion or experience that is to great to be summed up into one word. Within art, it a labeled emotion that holds a complex ocean of secrets and feelings. One may summarize how they feel by saying that they're happy or sad, but this may be but an understatement to a profound freedom and joy that can only be compared to a bird set free. Or perhaps, it is an understatement of a darkness that holds a beauty that consumes any beholder until they are forced to confront the undying loneliness that can only be compared to an abyss of cold solidarity? Regardless of the emotion, art is what expresses and defines an emotion that cannot be summarized into one word. That being said, pick an emotion to describe. It can be any emotion, and it can be described in any way!

Enigma

I am an enigma, scarcely do I know how to express my intricacies & complexities.

Everyone else sees a wall around me, so high, that they cannot scale.

How do I let people know that although I want to be seen, I cannot afford to be seen always.

I like a lot of space. I enjoy drinking in the peace and serenity that nature seems to produce without fail.

Sometimes I feel like water, swaying all over. Other days, I feel like clay, sticky and crude.

Some days I beckon to my inner self to stand up for myself, seeing as I play pretend doormat.

On days like this, I reckon with the me that wants to lay still and let the world go by.

Some call me depressed, others say I speak with wisdom that is from another age.

I have come to accept that this enigma is me, and I am an enigma.
