Grief, loneliness and sadness have never been easy for me to express and unfortunately, I've had many reasons to in recent years. However, through writing poetry, I discovered a method to explore my emotions by depicting small worlds and smaller characters that capture how I feel. By placing myself in these fictional spaces I was able to look further inward and pay the cost of coming to terms with my identity.Through introspection you may learn a lot about yourself, but there also is a danger of looking too deep and losing yourself along the way. This is the journey I started on a long time ago and I have yet to see how it ends.
