Twenty-four Seven

Look for the blessings
To be thankful for each day
Find your lost stars
To illuminate the abyssal dark that haunts you.  


Be the hero of your book
Grow from the dirt of your boot soles and sprout into grass
Each day is the mystery of adventure 
An enigma in a three-six-five intervening time and space. 


Every morning you break your arms
Every evening you break your legs
You lie in anticipation of a heart attack
To finally put the end to your mental misery


Tomorrow is a place that petrifies you
Yesterday a place that you do not want to go back to
Right now is a place you do not want to be in
So you go to sleep to escape the feeling of your bloodstream and heart beat.

The Eye

What I see in this drawing is a child who sees the world not as it is but as it could be. Her youth and lack of experience is what led her to perceive a world of screaming and vehement color but the reality of the world is black and white. The eye is the nucleus of the drawing and this exemplifies that the things she sees revolves around colors, each with a different nuance. It is shown how the strokes of the black crayon are smooth, and this symbolizes the innocence and overfull hope of the child. The iris of her eye is shaded with all seven colors and her desire of a better world is displayed in this aspect of the drawing. She is tired of the black and white colored world and decided to paint it with the colors that epitomize certain things that will construct her a better life. 

Red is the color of blood therefore it represents life. Blood sustains us and flows within our veins. Like this, life is what sustains the world. Life is the core of the world and life is what creates activity in the world. Orange represents rejuvenated spirits and optimism. This child fantasizes a world filled with people of positive mindsets and enthusiasm, and this is because she is unaware of the haunting demons of negativity that doom the hearts of the buoyant. Yellow, being the lightest and brightest color of the spectrum simply represents a higher power. It forms an image of a world that is in full control of a leader and a spiritual guide to be the captain of our sinking boats. The color yellow occupies the biggest part of the circle and this shows that it is the most relevant. Green is the color of growth and fertility, which means that each day we live we have to continue to prosper and improve ourselves in all facets of life. Blue represents balance and tranquility. It tells us that a great world cannot be achieved without peace and equanimity among the human race. 

Violet represents the hope that people must encompass to continue the goodness of this particular world and it is the hope that fuels the people to retain the faith they have in themselves and in others. 

This child has so much yet to see and is bound for adventures in her life and one day, she will soon realize that this is simply just a fantasy, and never a possible constructed reality.
