I’ve recently taken up poetry to see if i can better understand my own feelings. doctors and therapists alike always say “oh you should try writing things down, you should keep a journal” but as a very British individual i find being so straight forward, so brutally honest with even a piece of blank paper no one will ever see makes me feel rather ill.

To aid this (after replaying a certain poetry centric horror game) i decided to begin writing some very angsty poems, i decided hey, no ones seeing it, i can use metaphors only i understand, i can be brutal but still make my issues appear flowery, pretty. So i did. And it’s working, i even wrote a nice one, mad that.

After a few semi successful poems i became rather inspired to paint. Something about the imagery in a few bits of my writing that i felt, oh this could definitely be used in a painting series. It’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to paint, so i won’t rush the process, for the time being I’ve taken some edgy pictures with some neat lighting to use as reference and ill be starting some rough plans for the paintings soon enough. Still unsure whether ill put any of the actual writing into the pieces, they’re somewhat embarrassing, maybe just a phrase or two.
