The Goldfinch - Carel Fabritius (1654)
A goldfinch is sitting on its feeder, chained by its foot. Goldfinches were popular pets, as they could be taught tricks like drawing water from a bowl with a miniature bucket.This is one of the few works we know by Fabritius. He painted the goldfinch with clearly visible brushstrokes. He depicted the wing in thick yellow paint, which he scratched with the handle of his brush.
okay, who took my diary??
“my child is fine” your child romanticizes getting lost in a forest.
everytime i open tumblr, a voice in my head says, "oh i gotta read those books i bought to relate with these posts."
but shortly after another says, "nope!"
Me
i gave up, on me
im my only mine
and i gave up on me.
i have no value
and there's no worth to me
my efforts & my work
has proven nothing to me
stranger in the mirror
becoming more unappealing to me
i was my only mine
and i gave up on me
we were great together
for brief of time
it was a fun 'we'
i wasted our time
like gold but free
guess I'll never know myself
and whats holding me back
is this the voice of someone else?
or a deliberate devil inside of me?
well, i should not bother
and get used to things
as they are, maybe.
because, it's my ability
to not change, and waste my youth
probably.
its snowballing downwards
absorbing and destroying everything
the end won't be peaceful
the end won't be prettty
i owe my life to someone else
there is nothing in me
i was my only mine
and i give up, on me
So,
This is based around 19th century,
Im a just a son of this well known, rich person. And i go to a ball with couple of my companions (like Pride and Prejudice).
So i was standing beside the dancing area...
I saw, this really astonishing, most wonderfull, beautiful lady i saw (even in IRL). Presumably i was handsome, i invited this lady for a dance. (Why not?) And after that i didnt even know when 2 hours passed, dancing with her. She has these really deep brown eyes, sparkling with lights of candles and all the lights around us. the dress, blue like ocean or a sky. Her hair, mud-colored and her fragrance, all these things to die for. We kept dancing & dancing i was with her and she was with me, but i was mostly in her eyes, browsing through her emotions like, pain, sorrow, oppression and repayment. But i ignored them and kept dancing. i was also ignoring the faded view of surrounding at that time i can only see us, only us. I thought the red stains her blue oceanic dress was just a mere mirage. As i kept dancing she too seemed like she was fading and i was struggling to clinge to her last reflection. I closed my eyes, thinking that its just an illusion, hoping that everything will become back as while i was in her eyes. I opened my eyes but all i could see was that bright, effervescent chandelier, just like her earrings
