Artist Statement:

When I am struggling with anxiety or hoping to process some difficult part of my life, I write. I feel clear headed when I am writing and am often able to understand myself better through my own writing. Sometimes, I write with the intention of sharing what I write, other times I write just for myself. This particular poem I wrote just for myself. Although, now that I have decided to share it, I hope that my own thoughts might sound familiar to someone else and make them better able to understand themself or help to feel connected to a community which understands their own experience.
