Title: Journey Unto Self

Artist: Nishita Rao

Medium: Unknown

Date: Unknown

Words from the Artist: It began when I was told to be quiet, Silent for my tale had to be forgotten. Stripped off the Power my words had, Rendering me mute, lost and bare. It began when I was told to question the Truth. For the scream I heard, the touch I fought, The drink that laced my lips — all untrue. Lies hidden behind a mask. My Self never let me be. I tried embracing the New Truth, Alas! I never could — hope felt I, In this cold, unforgivable home.
