Believe
over the past month or so i have done a lt of reflecting ….my descion is to live my life how it is best for me .I stopped worring so much of what others thought i should be ..how i should act etc…..and so far my life has been so much more peacful and the ones who stayed around me are happy too ….this work is 30”x30”x2” ..acrylic …oil pastels inks ..textile paint …and a spilled tea:) but she is safe
Believe
And I believe this body is only
A frail example of me
That my spirit
Ignites with fire and life
That it walks when I can not
Sings when I cry
When my flesh and mind burns from
Being stolen
I in sprit am still here clawing with bloody skin
Under my finger nails
The tastes of murderers steal blood
In my mouth
When everything begins to
Close up and shut down around me
My eyes hollowed out
My ears cut off
Bound and gagged
I am still here with the ability to feel it all
To fight back
You can’t take that
And they all told me to forgive
That that would set me free
But I never could accept their tainted water downed
Freedom
Because I know I already was
I just needed to believe it
That I still own
Everything thought
Every sin
Every love
Every torment
Everything.
And
I believe vehemently
That I am
More than the casualty
Of broken
That I am seen as.

Ken Eccles
Some might say that this sorrowful woman is scarred by all the colours of her experiences, but not me.
For mine (and I recognise my own bias in this), she is beautiful because of her rich and varied colours, not in spite of them.
Lovely work again, as usual, April. Congratulations and thanks for sharing her with us.
April Mansilla replied
