Portrait

by Sylvia   Jun 10, 2007


My life is like a portrait
No one is alive
No one really feels
Except me

I feel trapped
I feel needy
I need love
That no one can give

I have dreams
But my portrait life
Won't let me fulfill them
I am trapped

In a portrait
Where all blemishes
Are hidden
No one is alive

Except me
I need love
I need freedom
That no one can give

My portrait life
Just has me trapped
No one can see, though,
All the tears that are hidden

    "I have dreams
    But my portrait life
    Won't let me fulfill them
    I am trapped"

    I think insecurities and fear to let go of what we cant control can really represent the portrait. Im so scared of making mistakes, that I dont allow myself to do anything at all, and when you hold back your true potential you cant live life, you cant experience anything, your just trapped in your own self portrait. A meaningful write.

    Take Care.
