The Inevitable Realization That I Do Not Want to be Forgotten, What Crimes?, and A Message

I wrote these poems to explore loneliness and the idea of being remembered. How will I be remembered? How do I want to be remembered? All poems are based on actual events, although the death of my Great Uncle Anthony was a far more recent occurrence. I wanted to write poetry about something I believe to be a universal struggle, which is why I chose the fear of being alone along with the idea of being forgotten. I’m not sure if these things haunt others as much as they haunt me, but if they do, I hope these poems can show those people they are not alone in their fears.

Creativity means expressing a part of myself I would usually hide. Whether I am writing or acting, I try to pull from personal experience- making my creative expression different from anyone else's. It's freeing to be creative, and very cathartic for me.
