My sYmbOl
February 10, 2010
The heart figure stands for my own heart. The open space is how open and empty my heart is. The thickness of the black outline is the impending darkness that is coming upon it. The bands are holding it together and show how well I express what's in my heart. The red in the bands reconize how bad of shape it is in from wearing my heart on my sleeve. The bands are also holding not only my sanity, but all my anger, happiness, and sadness. They keep me together and keep me from losing it and further hurt.
Forever kept away.
Forever in check.
Forever unchecked.
Forever hidden.
Forever unseen.
