amalia was a painter
amalia was a passionate artist with a rose printed unto her hand
like the constellations connected one line at a time to from a rose
amalia has a mind of a garden
ever so pretty and divine
her curled black hair waves down to her shoulders, it brings contrast to the fair skin she has.
the world in her head is magical
blooming
vibrant
filled with life
colorful
warm
inviting.
like a blooming forest filled with yellow and pink flowers.
like the cold, crystal blue waters at the northern islands
like the smile and glimmer of hope when someone hears they won a contest
or the beauty of biting a juicy burger while your stomach growls in hunger.
her mind bloom.
it was everything she ever wanted.
but the real world around her is the complete opposite
dull
dreadful
grim
hatred
crime
insulting
it was heartbreaking for her to see the world as it slowly deteriorate from it's glorious beginnings.
her neighbors at here left scream for anger.
while the other one at her right, yelps in hunger.
the crime outside scares her.
and so as when some other hand lays on her.
she never set foot outside her door.
knowing what can happen to her.
she mostly shuts her door. locked.
and keeps all the space of her room, hers.
she creates art to amuse herself.
to take her out of the miserable world
she takes inspiration from her mesmerizing imagination every time she strokes a brush.
it lifts her a smile
that is wider than a mile.
her room is filled with paintings, vibrant and warm.
it keeps her away from every little harm.
she wishes her house would soon be filled with colors
so that she would feel she is in her mind's wonders.
being taken out from her unpleasant reality
to a place where she have always wanted to be.
with only two portraits left, it was almost done.
her smile grew wider and she danced for fun.
neighbors saw her laughing and giggling by herself
the next day, she was rumored
"The Crazy Elf"
she didn't care what they'd think.
not what they'd do.
all she knows, she already escaped
her grueling reality, where everything isn't safe.
