Constrained
In part, this is introspective
a reflection of some of my innermost thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
Of someone simultaneously reaching out, and yet, at the same time, holding back.
The wings I boldly carry are symbolic of my true identity.
They represent love and freedom.
And yet, they are folded, reflecting a reticence to deviate from what society expects of me.
As a bisexual woman, I’ve lived much of my life in the shadows,
revealing only the aspects of myself that would be accepted by conventional society.
The image suggests an awakening
a sense that I can be true, I should be true, I will be true to myself and my needs.
A liberation.
