Symbolic world

Contributed by broken-glass on Monday, 29th March 2004 @ 11:38:23 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



I sit near the window.
Half of my face lit, the other left in the shadows.
What does this mean?
What does this symbolize?
Should I analyse this instant like in English...
or just stray from the point....
and consider what else lies around in the room...
How things could be twisted and altered,
manipulated into looking like things far far worse.
And feel dillusional and powerless and venerable and paraniod and open and broken and exposed emotionally...
the sun is shining brighter.
I guess it represents the light the future holds....
then why have I closed the curtains?

I like this...it highlights dichotomies between light and dark, and how even if the sun is shining oh so brightly, the shadows it casts whisper and threaten.
