its kind of like you have no voice
or nothing you say matters enough for anyone to hear
and you feel so much and so powerfully that trying to verbalise it is impossible
so it just sounds pathetic anyways
and you're always always vulnerable
to the stupidest of things
like you have no clothes on
and every stretch mark or vein is magnified
so you look like some sort of anatomy model
I guess its lucky my favourite colour is purple.
I wish I never had to talk
and people could just know what I meant
also, I wouldn't have to open my mouth so you wouldn't see my braces
and I could position my jaw just right
so that I don't have an overbite.
I don't mind contradicting myself
as long as people know I know I'm condradicting myself and that I don't mind it.
Sometimes I feel like I'm more of a Picasso painting then a person
but apparantly people find them beautiful and pay alot of money for them
even though they're all mixed up and wierd.
I think thats pretty cool though,
that people recognise that sometimes the things worth alot are mixed up and wierd
I read somewhere that everything is broken and has cracks in it because thats how the sunlight gets in
I once wrote something about what it would be like if you could hold love in your hand
and you could either break it or give it away or whatever
and something about getting married and waking up in a shitty bed and breakfast
but I don't remember them so well
and I doubt people would read them anyways
theres a wierd sort of stigma attached to people who write things.
Anyways, I like things that don't judge
like pets and little kids.
But the one thing that never judges you is a bed
and I get why Tracey Emin did that bed piece
because theres not much you have such an intimate relationship with
and where you can lie there in your cheap underwear with all the purple hues
and still feel like the most beautiful thing ever
whatever beautiful is, it doesn't matter.
i love this piece paige. i like how you are able to think of things as simple as sleeping in a bed but manage to strip away the simplicity to show such raw real meaning. keep up the good work!
