INSPIRATION

I painted this piece because my whole life I felt like I came from somewhere else, like I’ve never belonged. I am half light and half dark. I look up at the stars and feel more at home than I’ve ever felt here on earth. I try my best to be good, but I have this fire burning inside me, this rage, deep inside. I have learned how to keep it at bay, but I can’t be who I am, I don’t fit in if I’m being myself. I am an angel that had her wing taken away for rebelling... I’m cursed, angry, tortured, haunted by my past and am struggling to redeem myself.
