I looked to you for guidance. I looked to you as a role model. I watched and learned.
You didn't show me anything.
Nothing.
That is what I saw. That is what I believed.
Naively, I built a fence to protect me from what lay beyond it, like I believed you did too.
You were happy. So I thought I would be happy too.
And, safe inside, I felt happier than ever.
Which is an easy achievement when one doesn't know that one could be happier. I lied to myself. I didn't know any better.
What lay beyond the fence frightened me.
Yet, what lay outside of this fence become cage became more and more alluring.
I was scared.
Only my own desperation could free me.
I can't help but feel betrayed and abandoned. But I can not possibly fault you. After all, you have no obligation to show me anything, neither is it my right to know.
I can only fault myself for being complacent, for being scared of breaking the status quo, for being a naive copykit, for not even perceiving my imaginary cage as such, for being unable to see the misery I brought upon myself.

very artistic much symbolism wow
The second in a series of four to five "emotional processing" works (to put it probably more dramatic than it is) that are way overdue. Features, more or less obvious, symbolism and metaphor. Not quite the illustrative art I usually make.Also, the scale between Max and the computer is probably a bit off, but, ehh, it's art.
Max belongs to me.
