Daniel Gerhartz Art
I wonder which is preferable,to walk around all your life
swollen up with your own secrets until you burst from
the pressure of them,or to have them sucked out of you,
every paragraph,every sentence,every word of them,so at
the end you're depleted of all that was once as precious
to you as hoarded gold,as close to you as your skin - everything
that was of the deepest importance to you, everything that
made you cringe and wish to conceal, everything that
belonged to you alone - and must spend the rest of your days
like an empty sack flapping in the wind, an empty sack
branded with a bright fluorescent label so that everyone
will know what sort of secrets used to be inside you?
Margaret Atwood
This is a beautiful write Margaret. In so many ways the writer is a revealer of secrets through their writing. This holds many questions that only each soul can answer for themselves.
