STRIDE
STRIDE with decisive steps
Lock horns with the doubt
that burrows into the recesses of your mind
A parasite that feeds
off optimism
A destructive sibling of your own creation
looking back at you
judging your decisions
STRIDE
Into the sandstorm
It is a construct of broken dreams
As sharp as glass
Ignore it
STRIDE towards the day ahead
towards a future
molded by your own determination
really interesting artwork, sometimes just few strokes can talk more than many strokes!
I love the poem too ^_^
I sometimes find just a few strokes a harder constraint to work with, a fine balance between too little and too much. :D
I can understand you :D
wow, the artwork is really telling a story and look great
Thank you, i realised that if i flipped the original image it represented an inner conflict well- especially with the locking of horns.
Great, good one indeed...I like it
Simply put. Articulate. A very interesting piece!
Your art makes my heart smile at times. Right now is one of those moments :)
Although this is just a stroke of the pen, but it makes me very happy when I see it, pictures like people are fighting, good pictures of friends.
Glad you found it of interest!
Hey, thanks for sharing. Lovely post!
Thanks!
creativeness doesn't have boundaries.It proved
Only those we set in our minds.
Some Potraits are so complex to understand but yet they carry some deep meaning......Encore Maestro😍
:D Thank you! I think the viewer will take their own meaning from the piece, an individual interpretation.
Most amazing..... I have seen here...
Thank you
Muy buen retrato, se me parece mucho a una persona, pero me gusta que hace referencia a un deportista. Saludos

On the preview I thought these are stylized people in dance, you know some kind like in ancient caves:)
I do really enjoy the simplicity of your artwork. When steem hundred folds in price i wish i can buy some of your art for my living room :)
Less is more, I also appreciate the sentiment of the poem.
Our greatest enemy is always ourself. This poem feels like myself fighting depression.
