My life went silent, my heart turned black Lost somebody that never came back My life full of stress A mess Everything so meaningless

Nevertheless I let myself be, who I was, just me The tears that I cried, the emotions that I felt The love in my heart that I held

I found my passion again for story and art This is the beginning, a new start A place for my emotions that I feel in my heart A poetic place for my stories and art

A poem and artwork about the beginning of Poetic Places. This work is inspired by recent life events. The flower underwater symbolises a situation where it feels like you're out of your element. Luckily (and sadly) all things in life are temporary, even the worst parts of your life.
