M"i"ne is where I find myself in society's eye.
M"i"ne is what I think when I cry late at night.
M"i"ne is all the time I spend in my mind.
M"i"ne is yours but through my eyes.
M"i"ne is happiness when it arrives.
M"i"ne is the innocence in the oppressor.
M"i"ne is the evil of the oppressed.
M"i"ne is both you and "i".
The "I" series will be a set of three social commentaries that seek not only to understand the prevalent voices of those in our various societies, but to also discover our own voice in an attempt to understand ourselves better. Influenced heavily by the theories that by understanding oneself we can understand others and that the societies we live in throughout our lives have great impacts on who we are and will become, the "i" series attempts to see just how far one can take the two theories on a journey from the outside-in.
"i"
The "i" is in lower case to suggest that the individual (or ourselves at that matter) are subservient to that which is around it - as is the common convention when the first letter of a word is capitalized and the others aren't. In this same way, it is a symbol that speaks to the significance of common conventions (the way in which things are usually done), challenging them and yet only being significant or noticeable because of them. These elements are linked to the conventions of our societies today as we are all a part of these societies and indeed are subservient to them; however, by challenging them and going against certain norms we can transcend the general normalcy and become noticeable and even significant - so the theory of "i" states here.
The Three.
Mind, Body and Soul. The series will be divided into these three different sections: "i" Hate You - the Mind, "i" Love You - the Body, and "i" Need You - the Soul. Not giving too much away about the context of the three all I will say about them is that each piece will have different Lyrical identity. Most of the writing is between the lines.

There you have it! The first series in my journey as a writer. I hope you enjoy it and it doesn't seem to cumbersome. Kindly comment on what you think about the series in general - especially any predictions as to what the Three might be about.
Let's have a fun adventure through society into ourselves...
M"i"ne is both you and "i".
