Enigmatic

I see a figure who looks haunted and drained by some imperceivable force.

I see a figure who looks they might cry at any moment or has cried for a very long time, either scenario is a likely possibility.

I see a figure who might be hard to sympathize with.

I see a figure who is used to be alone.

I see a figure up against a wall, metaphorically and literally.

I see...

blankface....implying lack of strong emotion,

what may have started as slight confusion, turned to depression, evolved into bottomless boredom,

a Mona Lisa with her knowing eyes and small smile turned deranged,

a simple Starry Night by Van Goth now suddenly complex, and

a Scream by Munch silenced by the vast nothingness.

I see what are fancy paintings, but it's just me.

I took this picture, alone, in a bathroom stall.

It's the face I've always seen in the mirror, but you've never seen.

I have only one question:

Can you tell me what you're feeling looking at me?

Maybe then I'll know how I'm supposed to feel.
