Skin Deep

July 16, 2017

People around us swarm and look happy. They seem to have a good heart. They take care of each other and work together.

But this is all a lie. Once you dig past their skin, you will find their greed, their actual intentions. How what they will do will benefit them and as soon as it doesn't, they leave.

This is what relationships commonly are all centered on. You are befriended, they help you out and you feel like you have actually gotten something. But then, they only were your friend to get their music from you. Or to get a recommendation for a job. Perhaps even sex, anything their own gain. But once they have acquired what they wanted, they leave. They don't even say goodbye. And there you are. Left all alone. Stranded. Being stripped from your values and beliefs. No longer know what is true or not. No longer having a life's purpose. You don't know who you are.

That is what this painting represented. How once you have reached their core, you find no soul, only a skeleton who seeks for other's blood.
