Drifting through life on a path suggested by those who only meant well, a path I though I had chosen of my own free will, a path I do not want.
I look back into the past, to a time when I couldn't live up to my own expectations, when I gave up on the first hurdles.
The suggestions of those who guided me along so many reasonable and logical paths before, along with my own perceived failures, led me to bury a dream.
The former only worried for me, I can not fault them. I can only fault myself, I lied to myself again and again to justify the burial.
I look back and one question plagues me again and again: "What if?"
What if I didn't give up? What if I didn't let myself get pushed along? What if I went astray? What if I broke free from my own paranoid cage?
The cage pried asunder too late, too late I dig up a shallow grave.
Weeping, I look back with regret.
With salvaged remains, I can only look ahead with fear, down a path I want.

very artistic much symbolism wowThe first in a series of "emotional processing" works (to put it probably more dramatic than it is) that are way overdue. Features, more or less obvious, symbolism and metaphor. Not quite the illustrative art I usually make. In this case also not nearly as much effort (though, for a reason in this specific case).Max, here intentionally poorly drawn with a mouse and left unfinished, belongs to me.
