I Hate You

• Artist Statement

  I Hate You is about the feeling you have when you have a crush on someone who doesn’t like you back. The feeling that nobody really compares to the way that they make you feel and feeling hopeless knowing that they don’t see you the way you see them but not being able to let them go. I wrote this piece because I wanted to express the way that I was feeling through a poemIn “A Simple Life,” I wanted to capture the complexities of life by highlighting some defining features in each stage of life. However, I wanted to depict life as simple as possible to contradict people’s beliefs that life can be complicated and overwhelming. Instead, life can be approached in a very simple manner.
