But He Left No Marks

These poems are not a set; the file name is the first poem's title because I didn't like the idea of mashing all three together. "But he left no marks" and "come home" both express varying levels of regret, distress, and loneliness within unhealthy relationships. "enough to be" depicts the fear of rejection and perceptions of others regarding one's gender identity.

Writing and drawing help me work through emotional issues. It is incredibly cathartic and allows me to be more productive in other aspects of my life, like social and academic areas. Making art allows me to turn my experiences into something people can enjoy and use to understand me better.
