Electric Heart

This poem is about the initial euphoria of relationships but how over time the most tumultuous and darkest moments humans can bring out the biggest flaws in each other. Even after healing takes place little details still bring back memories of those moments and it becomes brutally clear that whether you like it not, that time of your life has left an imprint on your heart. And you have a choice: find peace in the good parts or simmer in the bad memories. Though the poem is written as if the main character is talking about someone else, I originally wanted it to serve as a metaphor for the main character’s relationship with themselves and their internal struggle with learning to foster a healthy relationship with their body and mind.

To me, creativity is a judgment-free zone where I can let go. It's a feeling of ultimate sanctuary and safety. I may physically be drawing or writing but inside I am freeing the pent-up emotions or thoughts I have gathered throughout my day/week/month, etc.
