It all started with a picture..

I had been consumed in its beauty.

The frame,

the paint,

the colors.

Without realising it, I had my whole life consumed here.

In this picture.

It was what I had invested my time in.

And it ate up my soul..





I reached out to it,

The picture..

And found myself living in the beautiful memory.

The memory of freedom.

It had been a quiet place of nature.

Calm waters,

Tall trees

And

My creativity.

I was able to do as I felt there, but I could never bring myself to move. The time flew by.

Day turned into night.

And night turned into day.

I knew that I was my only escape.

Then suddenly..

Lie.....

My eyes opened and I parted from the picture.

Lie.....

I followed the voice to the room where I bathe. The room whose walls are blue.

Jimin..

I looked up and there he was. My doppelganger had returned to me.

You wish to be free?

Or to stay bound?

I looked down. And in the water, I could see nothing. The waters were covered in the image of the painting.

Yes.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Jimin.. This is your truth.

I felt a push and my body falling. I knew that I was coming to reality.

I arose in my bed and looked around. I was in my old room.

One bed.

One way out.

Look for it.. Find your freedom..

I got up and began walking. Searching for what I knew had always been there.

I looked out of the window.
It was still too high for me to escape.
