Portrait Not one made clearly. Though fuzzy like a ghost, I’m just enough to exist. With that in mind, I decided to draw a self-portrait. I’ll draw it as clearly as possible. Powerful, with thick lines. Grandiose thoughts of myself. Grandiose thoughts of myself. Like that, the self-portrait I drew with self-important self-consciousness became the portrait of someone else before I knew it. Another failure. If we can verify existence according to the affirmation of other people, then would someone please draw my portrait, so that I know who I am?
