We are created free beings. The only boundaries we have are those we set for ourselves, or allow to be set for us! but we frame ourselves, placing ourselves into little boxes of expectations and through failure to believe in ourselves and the many capacities of the human spirit (when allowed to thrive).
The inversed parts represents another kind of prison we set for ourselves: believing in half-truths: partly inverted truth! Things like "You can't make it!" or "You're ugly!" or "Everyone's doing it"... Things like "God has abandoned you," and "You cannot be forgiven" and "You are not talented, nor gifted - in any way whatsoever!!" and it seems, in reality, that those things are true. But break free from what seems, embrace what is. Know thyself!
This photo also explains the tendency we have to hold tight to our prisons, to passively accept them and regard them a part of us, to become complacent in our "beautiful" prisons.
Dost thou love life? Then shatter the glass cell you live in, from which you look green-eyed at every passing soul. Starve your fears to death - they do not deserve you. Feed thy dreams. Love thyself - thy whole world hangs upon that string.
Set thine eyes upon thy innards - see the Great Designer in that great design!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
