I held you in my mind, simple rays of vibrance and colour. I held your expressions, your movements, your mannerisms- between the tips of my fingers, stemming all from within the palm of my hand. After careful consideration, with precision and poise- I brought you to life with gentle strokes. Strokes of grace, of love and of courage. I created you greater than you’ll ever know, greater than you’ll ever feel… But you, you’ll spend forever gazing into the souls of others, searching to find yourself in the shadows of their lives. Like watercolours on canvas boards- that’s how you will survive.
