The Painter

     Its the picture being painted in your image that you should fear. Knowing that every feature of your person is being depicted by someone else. Nothing you choose is in your hands or plays any part in how you wish to live your life. Living, you might call it, Is a pre-scripted one way road with things called choices to mask the line. It is a world full of what if's and lone outcomes. I hope only that you remember, when you are given a choice there is only one outcome. Fools will lead the life believing that they are in charge of it. The painter masks his work well, he knows very well how to cover up the line that is your life. Do yourself a favour and crouch really low, squint your eyes. I believe you'll see it, the end of the road without the clutter in between. All the paths will lead to the same place and ultimately that will be the end.

Just a little something I came up with out of boredom. Review away!

i agree. the choices we make will be ones that will happen anyway. all is as it should be. i guess you should pose unpredictably and maybe you'll be wiser because of it. people delude themselves that they are in control of their own life, but sometimes fate gets in the way. i'm probably so off so forgive me. i enjoyed this piece. great job.

Uh...that's kind of a bleak way to look at things when it comes to ending, but it contains some truth as well. The ground burrial is where we are all going to at the end. I like the use of the painter here as God, or a person who designs your life. Good write.
