photosynthesis.
under the light of the same sun
we've assigned subjective meaning to our world though everything - sky, sun, moon is objective
an infinite gap between the mind and the eyes
ugly facts
false experts
deliberate fabrication
those we would least expect to be correct seek to impose their standards on others to fit into a narrow definition of beauty
abandon expectations of being fashionable
a friend recognized me on the street by the birthmark on my leg and the mole in my eye
desire seen through a queer lens isn't meant to be relatable
break taboos
capture the hidden dark places in everyone's hearts
fast food love
I was made aware of my place in society numbed people awakened by underrepresented problems
finding a balance between equality and freedom
infinite possibilities, deepest desires are revealed in our subconscious
where thoughts and feelings are freed from the constraints of reality
seek new dimensions without limitation of morals,
cultural and religious rituals.
images are prayers, holy songs
symbols of hope?
