“I have survived too much to go quietly.
Let a meteor take me.
Call the thunder for back up.
My death will be grand.
The land will crack,
the sun will eat itself…

-the day I leave.” – Rupi Kuar.

Surreal
Similar to what a translight backdrop could do
so you could never tell what was real
or made up of a dream
Just like the shows and movies you see on T.V
You once had me deeply moved.. 
I even flaunted about how I belonged to you
Your typical Hollywood doll
but I always felt like it was something too good to be true 
because everything was always all about you
Our picture became to be too frightening
so I tried working with the lighting 
adding new props, switching the lens 
It all became very unexciting
You had my heart way over my budget
Unbelievably in debt.
What was a promised to be paramount picture 
just turned into a big unfortunate mess
