Creative Unconscious

Amanda with hair the size of her conscious, Amanda of the wild imagination and chameleon personality, Amanda whose name defines her lovable quality, shows many hidden hues where soul is the color of blushing cheeks, hides inside the sheets of art, embracing a new realm, cuddling up in the forest of blank pages, closing the untouched world of imagination, reenters the world of chaos and confusion from a dark cloud in the dim dark morning.

Amanda, always and forever, now and later arrives at the army of pencils where they sit ready to be sent out for battle. Sets out her supplies, which sets the stage for the impending creativity. Finds inspiration from friends, family, makes them hurry, because today, like yesterday, friends cloud her mind with ideas, a storm lets loose bringing impossible shades of chartreuse, lavender, magenta, coral, and a brilliant tint of sapphire sticks in her vision and spills over and beyond the streams of light upon her sketchbook that holds a tornado of colors for Amanda to explore.

Amanda inside the mind of an adult, inside the inspiration that must keep coming, inside that motivated body of a girl with its landscape of secrets, its passion of perfection, limbs stuffed with energy, in every part of the eyes, in every part of the heart, in that zoo of the mind where something throbs with the intentions of earning only what Amanda knows, inside that body containing blooming parachute of purpose, the single raven of risks, is a girl like any other dancing out the door, ready to seize the day, where she must travel on her own. Collects the strength to try new things, grabs her pencil and paper, the graphite and paper connecting, expressing her heart. Grows strong and stronger to the eye, shines in the clear sunrise, soars through the air before glowing like a family of fireflies.

On a journey to find myself, I wrote this, compiling what I thought of myself and how other people envision me.  I additionally decided to connect the piece to one of my focus art pieces from AP studio art, showing how one can overcome negative words. The piece also elicits the joy of self-acceptance and self-love.
